Q: My parents took my iphone that was given to me as a gift from a friend and they wont give it back what should I do?
A:
I'm sorry you're experiencing this situation. It's important to approach your parents calmly and express how you feel about your iPhone being taken.
Start by having an open and honest conversation with them. Explain that the phone was a gift from a friend and why it's meaningful to you. Listen to their perspective as well to understand their reasons for taking it.
If the discussion doesn't lead to a resolution, consider seeking help from another trusted family member or a counselor who can mediate the conversation. Finding a way to communicate effectively can help both you and your parents reach a mutual understanding.
