My mom took my phone just because I was arguing with her. How is that fair?

maybe a spanking is better

That's not how parents discipline their kids anymore and isn't an effective way to solve problems

@KansasSunshine: i know you would like to believe that but that isn't so.

Your right it probably still happens but in his case I think his mom and him can come up with a better solution to rectify the problem. It depends on why his phone was taken in the first place.
