Teen lost big $ bet; undependable friend; can't handle truth

Dr Julie Helmrich, famous Shrink'n'Drink psychologist from Milwaukee, answered these questions: 1) my son bet his friend $100 on Packers game and lost, now what? 2) my really good friend doesn't follow through with commitments, I have talked but no change, how do I let go of the hurt, 3) myth about willpower, 4) why do people ask questions about themselves but get upset when the truth is told to them, 5) At what age should I let my daughter start dating? Is that age different than for boys? 6) I have kept New Years Resolution for 2 weeks. Does that increase my chances of following through? 7) Can we increase our intelligence.
