Your phone is making you sad because it’s like having a best friend who never lets you play with other friends.
Imagine your phone is like a robot toy that always wants to be your favorite toy, and it keeps showing you fun videos, funny faces, and games. That makes you happy at first. But soon, the robot starts taking up all your time, so you don’t get to play outside with your friends or read your favorite storybook.
It’s like this: when you’re playing with your robot toy, it’s great, but if it keeps asking for more attention than your friends, you might feel lonely. You know the robot is fun, but you also miss being with other people.
That's what happens to you when you spend too much time on your phone, it feels like your best friend, but it can make you feel sad if it takes away your time with real friends and family.
