Well, I think it happens a lot with teenagers because there are many strict rules about not using phones, especially at school, for example, or during exams. However, I think I can manage to use my phone by sneaking it out, despite the strict rules at school. But there is one rule that I cannot break, and it's my mom's decision. Before, she used to take away my phone frequently when I was at home, especially during holidays, because we spent a lot of time together. She mainly took it away because I used it during our time together and neglected my homework and house chores. She always hid my phone in her bedroom. Most of the time, I would be mad at her for taking away my phone and would feel depressed and disconnected from my world because of it. However, after some time, it would only last one or two weeks, and she would eventually give my phone back. But there were also times when I felt like I couldn't live without my phone and would sneak into her bedroom to search for it, hoping that I could use it for one or two minutes before she found out. I knew that it would cause big trouble for me, but I really felt like living without my phone, even for a day, was horrible. Currently, she's not doing it anymore. I'm not sure, but maybe it's because I started using my phone less than before, and maybe she now prefers not to make me mad.
