How can i block an iPad from linking iMessage with my iPhone?

Okay, so my friend has recently discovered that his parents' iPad has his number linked to the iMessage feature. So basically his parents can just go on the iPad whenever they want and read all of his messages. Is there any way that he can block the link between the iPad and iPhone?

They can't read all of his messages, only his iMessages. This sounds like an issue your "friend" needs to take up with his parents. If he is a minor and his parents pay for his iPhone then they are most likely within their rights.

    I don't believe this can be done since your using the same apple id.  It would be like calling your own phone number and getting a busy signal.

    How can i control my iPad from my macbook?

    The iPhone has a "remote" app that lets you control Keynote on a Mac, but not on another iOS device (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch).
    There are some apps that let you control limited content on another iOS device - but the content has to be within the app. You might check out SyncPad - perhaps you can import the presentation into it and then control it on the iPad.

    How can I stop my ipad from dropping wifi connection?

    Thanks for trying those steps out!
    Rtbeal, I would recommend that you contact AppleCare so they can run further tests and diagnostics to help you solve your solution better.
    If you can also access an Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Center, that would be much better.
    Go to https://locate.apple.com/country for further support with your device!
    Thanks,

    You can't. Contact your carrier and ask them if they provide such a service. Most carriers do not, unless the text messages are threatening or harassing, but you can ask.
