When I was in my high school, I accidentally broke my iPad and it was very expensive. The iPad was gifted to me on my birthday by my sister and she lives in United States of America. Although the iPad was expensive, I didn’t care about it much because I was not too mature to understand the importance of the things. I used to play it whole day and put it charging whole night and then play again from the morning. On one day, I usually was watching a YouTube video, a cartoon on YouTube. Then accidentally when I was leaving my iPad to have my lunch, I accidentally put it on the dining table. It was on the corner of the table and my hand got touched by it and it broke down. After that, I was not very anxious because one of my friends had a shop which can repair these stuffs. I immediately called him and asked him to repair this and he told it would take 1-2 days. I told my family that I had all these stuffs from my family for 1-2 days. My mom asked me where is my iPad and I told that due to studies, I am not using it right now. I had put it in my wardrobe and after it got repaired, my friend asked me for 1000 rupees for the screen to get repaired. So I gave him from my pocket money and I don’t feel good about it because it broke. I have told lies to my family and my money also has gone from this.

When I was in high school, I accidentally broke my iPad, and it was very expensive. The iPad was gifted to me on my birthday by my sister, who lives in the United States of America. Although the iPad was expensive, I didn't care about it much because I was not mature enough to understand the importance of things. I used to play it all day and charge it all night, then play again from the morning. One day, I was watching a cartoon on YouTube. When I left my iPad to have lunch, I accidentally put it on the dining table. It was on the corner of the table, and my hand brushed against it, causing it to fall and break. After that, I was not very anxious because one of my friends had a shop that could repair these things. I immediately called him and asked him to repair it, and he told me it would take 1-2 days. I told my family that I had all these things from my family for 1-2 days. My mom asked me where my iPad was, and I told her that due to studies, I was not using it right now.
