iPad no longer allows me to answer or read texts

What can I do? My iPad has stopped allowing me to answer text messages. The text comes through but when I click to read and answer it, the iPad goes black and then brings up the homepage.

Force close the message app. Double tap your home button to bring up the app switcher. Slide the message app and any other app you haven't closed which you don't need immediate access to. Then tap your home button once to go back to your home screen. See if you can respond when you sign back in.
