Hey, Hannahlarson1021.
I see that, when trying to send an iMessage, the text goes over as green instead of blue. I'm happy to help.
If you can‘t send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- this article has steps to take, like checking your network connection, for issues like this.
About iMessage and SMS/MMS -- If the recipient isn't using an Apple device or hasn't activated iMessages, the messages will appear green.
iMessage
iMessages are texts, photos, or videos that you send to iOS devices and Macs over Wi-Fi or cellular-data networks. These messages are always encrypted and appear in blue text bubbles. To turn iMessage on or off, go to Settings > Messages.
SMS/MMS
If you aren’t using iMessage, you can use SMS/MMS. These messages are texts and photos that you send to other cell phones or iOS devices. SMS/MMS messages aren't encrypted and appear in green text bubbles on your device.
Take care!
