Dear Eric: I am so disappointed in my 18-year-old granddaughter. She recently got a tiny cross tattoo on her arm. I dislike them and hate seeing people covered with ink. She went to a Christian school her whole life and is accepted at a Christian college and lives a Christian life.

I know it’s her life but, having been close to her from birth, I now feel I don’t know her and the trends she accepts. Long fake nails, tattoos, bleach hair that has ruined her once lovely brunette, short tight clothes that are barely there, skimpy bathing suits. The list goes on. It is a slippery slope for what’s acceptable to younger people today. How far will we slide in society before we stop? What should I do to turn her around?
