How to put an iphone into recovery mode with a broken home button?

My friends phone is on the fritz, he has verizon so if all else fails we'll take it there.
He recently got his screen fixed and it told him that his iphone was disabled and to connect it to Itunes, so we did that and sure enough it asked us to put in a passcode to unlock the phone, which we couldnt do because the phone was disabled, so we figured we'd try to put it into recovery mode but then his home button stopped working… Help?

I want to buy things on my own?

I always wanted to start buying things on my own, for an example my phone, so before I wanted to buy my phone, my dad bought me an iPhone 6Plus and i kept it as beautiful as I can until I accidentally dropped it tripping down the stairs and it ended up shattering so I felt bad and it was my fault so I insisted on buying my new phone but he always say's no i'm buying it for you, when I say I can do it and I keep repeating myself he would get really mad and just end up buying it, I always told my friends and some of them said take advantage of it while it lasts because some kids don't have a father like you and some would just get mad and call me selfish/spoiled for letting him buy me all those stuff but just for the record when I was 5 my dad always went out, he went to parties, got drunk, he was an alcoholic and everything, he beat my mom in front of me and my brother but it's been years since it all happened, he changed his lifestyle, got a good paying job, we live in a nice house. But I was wondering by reading this does it make me look like a spoiled brat? Or should I just let him keep buying me stuff? But I rarely ask for things!

I locked out my iPhone and don't know what to do?

I changed my password on my iPhone 5 and I can't remember it and have completely locked my self out of my phone it says I need to connect to iTunes but when I tried it wouldn't work because it needed a password so I tried to recover it by holding the buttons but that didn't do anything either and I'm still locked out. I have tried all the things it says on the apple website but if i can't do it then i have to get my dad to and he is really angry about it. He said he put a lot of restrictions on resetting it so I don't know if that will affect it.

How to raise enough money to buy an iPhone SE?

I turned 11 on March 29. I have a cell phone that I got at the beginning of the school year (September last year) but it's a Moto E. There isn't much I can really do with it so I want a new phone. It costs about $400 so I need a way to earn that much money soon because the quicker I get the money, the better. (And please don't say that IIm too young for a phone!)
