I slice everything, backhand and forehand, on even the slowest serves. My backhand slice return is in fact incredibly good against junior players, as many of them have a hard time ripping the low skidding slice. But my forehand return looks like a JOKE. It either just drops over the net, or its a float slice easy to be pounded. Any tips on forehand returns? What should I practice?

I'm not qualified to offer any advice, but here's a vid of a couple of my forehand returns ... not sliced but more or less flat.

And here's a vid of a well-placed backhand slice return:
