Apple refused to refund her as she had not contacted them within two months of the charges.
“They said, ‘Tough’. They told me that, because I didn’t call within 60 days of the charges, that they can’t do anything,” Jessica told the New York Post. “The reason I didn’t call within 60 days is because Chase told me it was likely fraud — that PayPal and Apple.com are top fraud charges.”

She is now calling on parents to make sure to set up restrictions on their devices, adding that such preventive measures are deactivated by default by Apple devices.

Many people wrongly believe that being single means being unhappy.
Those who have been in toxic relationships know that being in a relationship does not always mean being happy. Similarly, being alone does not necessarily mean that you live an unhappy or unfulfilling life. Being in a relationship with a toxic partner can be extremely debilitating as an abusive partner has the power to destroy your mental and emotional wellbeing. Victims of toxic relationships know that it can take years to recover from manipulation and abuse. Even after breaking up, many people are left suffering from the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Relationship Syndrome (PTSR). It follows then, that sometimes it is better to be alone but happy rather than unhappy in a toxic relationship.
A study found a link between cardiac diseases and toxic relationships.
According to a Whitehall II study, personal relationships affect your risk for developing a cardiac disease. Researchers conducted a long-term study (12.2 years) and followed a group of around 10,000 participants. The study controlled for psychosocial factors, lifestyle and social demographics, as well as biological factors. Participants were asked to answer questionnaires and evaluate the negative aspects of their closest relationships (64% of these relationships were with spouses).
Through the study, researchers aimed to understand how negative close relationships affected the development and risk of cardiac diseases. Ultimately, the study results showed that participants with negative personal relationships were at a greater risk of a cardiac event than those who had positive close relationships. Thus, the study revealed that toxic relationships have the power to harm us physically — not just emotionally and mentally.
There are 4 reasons why being alone is better than being in a toxic relationship.
1. Single people tend to be healthier
When people are single, they are more likely to focus on their health. This means that they often decide to join the gym, do yoga, or learn a new sport when they are alone. Many people who are in relationships claim that there are many things they would do if they had more time to themselves.
2. You learn more about yourself
Single people have more time to discover who they are, what they like doing, and where they want to be. More importantly, they are free to dedicate their time to hobbies and activities which help them work towards their goals.
3. Single people are closer to friends and family
When you are in a relationship, you are bound to distance yourself from friends and family. What is more, people in abusive and toxic relationships are often forced to break off relationships with the people they love most. When you are single, you can put in the necessary time and effort to remain close to friends and family.
4. You become self-sufficient
Single people learn how to rely on themselves. That is, they become confident in their abilities and they learn that they are capable of achieving anything they want to (without any external help). This means that they are often more independent and self-sufficient than people who share responsibilities and rely on one another.
It is important to note that the secret to a happy and healthy relationship is to first and foremost be happy, comfortable, and confident in who you are when you are on your own.

Every one of us has habits, traits, and qualities that society deems as ‘bad’. We have all been criticized for being too lazy, too sensitive, or too shy. But could these negative features actually be good? Could your personality turn out to be not as bad as it may seem at first sight?
Here are 10 ‘bad’ personality traits that are actually good:
1. Selfishness
Yes, being selfish can be a good thing. It implies that you are good at self-reflecting, and you know the benefits of indulging in self-care practices. Besides, it certainly means you are not a people pleaser. You know who you are, what you want, and how to get it. Just make sure you don’t hurt anyone on the way.
The common knowledge that lazy people lack productivity could not be further from the truth. In fact, some of the most brilliant minds in the world are quite lazy. However, what makes them extraordinary is that they turn their laziness into inventiveness and create the most innovative solutions that require as little effort as possible.
3. Procrastination
Leaving all the important assignments for the last moment actually means you work well under pressure. With time, this way of handling your tasks became a pattern, in which you simply learned how to do a better job under stress. Besides, you avoid overthinking and getting anxious as you don’t have that time anyway.
4. Sensitivity
You may be too sensitive, as some describe you, but this also means you are empathetic, kindhearted, and thoughtful. You care about other people, and you never put your happiness before the needs of those you love. So, how is that a bad quality?
5. Impulsivity
Being impulsive is closely related to being able to make quick decisions in the heat of the moment. These risky decisions often lead to amazing results, motivating you to start living the way you want to. Sure, sometimes it leads to unpleasant situations, but these situations are what gives us some of the most valuable lessons in life.
6. Messiness
Your room is messy, your desk is messy, your headspace is messy. So what?! This doesn’t mean you are lazy or unproductive. In fact, it implies that you are a highly creative person. Creativity is a trait for right-brained people, while neatness is a left-brained individuals’ thing, which makes perfect sense.
7. Shyness
Shy people are often considered introverted, antisocial, and even hypocritic. However, most of them simply prefer to work on their own and accomplish their goals unbothered by anyone else’s energy. They don’t need the approval of others, and that helps them grow even more.
8. Pride
As long as you are not arrogant, having pride is definitely not a bad trait. A healthy ego and a decent level of confidence mean that you know your worth, and you realize what you’ve gone through to become the person you are today. And let’s face it, nowadays, not many people can say they feel good in their own skin.
9. Cynicism
You question everything, and you always proceed with caution. This may make you a cynic, but it definitely saves you a lot of energy and perhaps a broken heart from trusting others way too soon based on way too little facts. In a way, cynicism is actually quite a valuable quality in today’s day and age.
10. Neuroticism
Your friends and coworkers sometimes label you as too neurotic for always overthinking and refusing to let things go. However, they fail to see that by refusing to let go, you persevere until every last detail is refined. Plus, by considering all the possibilities, you always make the best decisions that help you grow as a person.

While some people are able to push through “unfair” situations, others seem to get frozen in them.

Do you often find yourself feeling like a victim? Do you want to change this?
If you want to help yourself, that is already an amazing step forward and away from the victim mentality.
There are a number of things that make up people who see themselves as victims. Below, we have listed the main characteristics of the victimhood mentality which will help you understand and challenge your thinking.
1. You don’t take action or you just give up
You look for any reason why you’re not going to achieve your goal, you come up with excuses, and you give up before you even get started.
If you aren’t willing to try, you will never succeed at anything! Failing is all part of the game.
2. You rely too much on other people
You always listen to other people’s advice on how you should be living your life instead of listening to your gut. You don’t take ownership of your own mistakes and blame others when things don’t go your way.
By listening to others you will never take control of your life.
3. You let your inner demons sabotage your life
You give up because you listen to the inner voice that always tells you you’re not good enough. Hence, you settle for mediocrity, just so you can feel safe.
It’s time to shut off your inner critic and take life by the bullhorns!

Needless to say, this leads to a downward spiral that is hard to escape from.
But think about it: do you really want to look back on a life of missed opportunities one day?
6. You constantly work against your own interests
You look for comfort when you’re feeling bad about yourself, so you try to feel better by seeking short-term pleasures such as drugs, alcohol, video games, TV, and other time-wasting, self-defeating behaviors.
Look in the mirror and find a way to accept yourself for who you are. Life is too short for self-hatred and time-wasting attitudes.
7. You indulge in self-harm
You attack, berate, and punish yourself when things go badly.
Needless to say, this doesn’t get you anywhere. Instead of wasting time telling yourself what a failure you are, learn from your mistakes and get back to working for a better life.
8. It’s always somebody else’s fault
Your victim mentality causes you to always look for someone else to blame because you’re too afraid to take ownership of your own mistakes.
Cut that self-defeating behavior and accept that you are a flawed human being just like the rest of humanity.
We all have our own crosses to carry.

7 signs you are a controlling partner and how to stop being so toxic
Sometimes it’s quite difficult to tell whether you are demanding what you deserve or you are simply controlling.
In your mind, your behavior may seem decently normal, but your partner might perceive it otherwise.
If you and your significant other argue all the time and you don’t seem to be willing to compromise, the reason for your fights might be your controlling nature.
Here are 7 alerting signs you might be the controlling partner in your relationship:
1. You’re constantly criticizing your significant other.
While you may think you’re only giving harmless advice on how they can improve their behavior, their lifestyle, or their appearance, your partner may feel as if you are always criticizing them for who they are.
2. You force them to distance themselves from their friends and family.
Maybe you don’t like your partner’s friend group, or you think their relatives are toxic, but intentionally or not, isolating your loved one from the people they care about is never the answer. These are the ones whom your other half turns to in difficult times, so if you cut them off, your beloved person will feel painfully lonely.
3. You’ve threatened to leave them or to harm yourself if they leave you.
By using such extreme ultimatums, you’re destroying the strength of your relationship. A bond that’s built on threats, fear, and conditions can never be healthy.
4. You see your relationship as a competition.
A romantic connection between two people should be teamwork, not a race. If you constantly keep score and rub your successes in your loved one’s face, they would never feel comfortable in your company.
5. You’re guilt-tripping your partner way too often.
Oftentimes you’re making your significant other feel guilty for your own feelings and emotions without even realizing it. Or maybe you do realize it, which is far worse. If you intentionally project your feelings on your partner and blame them for things they never had control over, you need to stop now. Otherwise, you might lose them.
6. You’re jealous without any reason.
You’re spying through your partner’s DMs, you’re always asking them “Who is this?” with a raised voice when their phone rings, and you’re demanding to know every single coworker of theirs just to be sure their eyes are not wandering. Yes, this means you are the controlling one, and your jealousy may put the inevitable end of your relationship.
7. You don’t respect their personal time.
In other words, you are afraid of letting them be on their own even for a day because you’re too insecure about yourself and the stability of your bond. Therefore, you force them into spending every second of their free time with you, so you know where they are and what they do at any time.
How to stop being a controlling partner in 4 easy steps:
1. Find the reason for your controlling behavior.
You might be under a lot of pressure, or you might be suspicious of your partner about something they did. Instead of internalizing all that stress, talk things through.
2. Never forget that little things matter the most.
If you are willing to change, start by making small but significant steps towards improving your attitude.
3. Seek help.
In case you cannot deal with this yourself, don’t be afraid to ask for help.
4. Respect your partner’s decision.
If your loved one decides they are not willing to deal with your toxic nature anymore, be respectful of their wishes. The good thing about such a situation is that you can learn a valuable lesson that will help you be a better person in your next relationship.

There are 3 common petty things that can break your relationship.
1. Messiness
In every single relationship, one partner is bound to be messier than the other. Columbia University management professor Eric Abrahamson and Massachusetts journalist David H. Freedman reported that 80% of couples who live together say that differences in messiness and disorganization can cause tension in the relationship. Try speaking to your partner and let them know that their messiness irritates you. Knowing this, they might do their best to change. Nevertheless, it is also possible that they will not succeed in changing. Jay Dixit notes that if they cannot change, it is best that you ‘reframe the issue in your own mind’.

In other words, change your mindset to let go of petty annoyances.
2. Seemingly deliberate behavior
In the same way that you do not put much thought into the things you do on a daily basis, your partner does not do things to deliberately irritate you. Maybe you get irritated at how loud they chew their food or how they hum while they work. If you have told them that it bothers you and they continue doing it, they are not doing it to deliberately annoy you. It is just what they do! You need to accept their habits and understand that not everything is a personal slight.
