...Christian College? this is the story:
there were 3 people including me. we were sitting at the back and my seatmate get the cellphone of my front mate. She wants to let me picture her using the phone of my front mate. but then my teacher saw im using it and confiscated it. Later dismissal, i felt guilty and i dunno why then i traded my phone with my front mates phone because in that time i thought it was my fault that my teacher confiscated the phone.


Do you think i did was right (or any opinion) (my mother was angry and wants to go and talk to my teacher please help me pray that it will go smoothly)

(and when i traded my phone my teacher said it looks like that she saw was my phone but the truth is she saw my frontmates phone)
 
This all depends on the school's policy of cellphone use. If there is no policy but the teacher made it clear from the start about cellphone in the classroom, then the teacher does have that right to confiscate the phone. As to how it is returned would also depend on the policy. Regardless, your mother should have the right to have the phone returned by inquiring it from the teacher. From there, it is really up to your mother how she'd want to deal with the issue of phone use.

A bit of advice: Make it up to your mother. Apologize - and mean it. Try not to repeat the incident. Be honest, don't make things up just to twist the story. If you are punished, then go with it. Show your mother you're trying to be responsible because one day you'd want your mom to entrust you with a much more expensive item - the car.
 
If there is a policy about cell phones and the consequence is getting the phone taken, then you don't have a leg to stand on.
