Do you have a screen protector on it? If so, remove it and see if that helps.

If not, you may have a bad screen, make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it looked at.

on top of that what I just wrote above about my phone just completely doing whatever it wants it's like some something or somebody is controlling my phone and I almost cannot do anything at all with my phone this is really weird I've never had something happened to me like this and I've always had iPhones I'm not sure what I'm even supposed to do because this is my only form of communication with the outside world you know out of my house so I don't have another phone and I am stuck in this is very very very frustrating when somebody help me
