There is no single reason. A person who bullies may: - Want power, status, attention, or control. - Have learned aggressive behaviour from people around them. - Struggle with empathy or understanding the impact of their actions. - Feel insecure and try to make someone else feel smaller. - Be influenced by a peer group that rewards cruelty. - Be dealing with difficulties in their own life—but this is an explanation, not an excuse. - Target someone because they perceive them as different or vulnerable. It is important not to assume that every person who bullies has been bullied themselves. Sometimes the simplest explanation is that they have learned that hurting others gets them something they want.

I thought it was about time I recorded a new video as It’s be a while since I did one. I've done it a different way this time so I hope it's ok.

⚠️ Blood sugar: Two bananas plus apples, pineapple and mango make this a relatively fruit-heavy day. If you have diabetes or blood-sugar concerns, monitor portions and consider pairing smoothies with more protein/fat. 💧 Hydration: Keep drinking water throughout the day rather than relying only on the smoothies and juices. 🌱 Digestive response: Hemp and chia seeds add fibre and can cause bloating or discomfort if your body isn't accustomed to them. Increase gradually and drink enough water. 🧃 Juice vs. whole produce: The Apple Beet Juice contains less fibre if juiced. Blending rather than juicing can help retain more fibre. 🥬 Nutritional balance: This day provides plenty of fruit and vegetables, but the overall protein content may be modest. Hemp and chia help, but a more substantial protein source may be needed depending on your nutritional needs. 🫜 Beetroot: It can temporarily turn urine or stools pink/red. This can be harmless, but persistent or unexplained blood should not be assumed to be from beetroot. ⏱️ Freshness: Ideally consume fresh smoothies promptly and refrigerate anything you need to keep, rather than leaving it at room temperature for extended periods.

Several factors can contribute to abusive behaviour: A desire for power and control. An abusive person may see the relationship as something they are entitled to control—who their partner sees, where they go, what they wear, or what they do. Entitlement. They may believe their partner “owes” them obedience, attention, sex, loyalty, or forgiveness. When that expectation is challenged, they may respond with intimidation or violence. Learned behaviour. Someone who grew up seeing violence, coercion, or controlling behaviour may learn that this is how relationships work. That can help explain behaviour, but it does not excuse it. Poor emotional regulation. Some people respond to jealousy, rejection, humiliation, anger, or frustration with aggression rather than managing those emotions safely. Jealousy and possessiveness. Extreme jealousy can become surveillance, isolation, threats, and eventually physical violence. Dehumanising their partner. The most dangerous perpetrators can stop viewing their partner as an autonomous person and instead treat them as something they own or have the right to punish. Escalation. Abuse can progress from criticism and controlling behaviour to threats, intimidation, physical assault, and increasingly severe violence. But there is an important distinction: anger does not cause someone to beat another person unconscious. Anger is an emotion; violence is a behaviour and a choice. Alcohol or drugs can increase risk in some situations, but they don't create an excuse for abuse either. An illustration may help: imagine someone becomes angry because another person disagrees with them. One person walks away, another argues, another seeks help—but an abusive person may decide, “I have the right to make this person submit to me.” The critical issue isn't simply the intensity of the anger; it's the person's beliefs about power, entitlement, and control. And when violence reaches the point of someone being knocked unconscious, that is extremely serious violence. It can cause brain injury or death. If you know someone or this is happening to you, don't treat it as merely a relationship problem that needs better communication.
