Ever had to take care of someone you knew and/or didn't like?

Right now, I'm a nursing student and I will soon be doing clinicals at the hospital near me. I know a lot of people and I think that I might come across someone that I know/are friends with OR someone that I DON'T like.

Has this ever happened to you guys and how do you deal with it?

**Can someone edit the title to "Ever had to take care of someone you KNEW or didn't like?" Darn typos!

either i've been unclear or i've really ticked you off sometime. in case it was the former, what i meant was that bullies rarely think they've made life miserable for someone. they think they're "giving back as good as they got" or "setting him straight because nobody treats me that way" or that their behavior was somehow justified. so in your example, the person you were speaking of probably either didn't know you thought of them that way, or, if they did know believed you deserved it. i was in no way implying that i thought that way.

the tone in your comment implied that i had deserved it. that is what ticked me off because as a kid, i was bullied a lot!!!!

i know for a fact, that i did not deserve the treatment nor did i feel as if my bullies didn't think they were making my life miserable. an example would be the fact that i had a bully harass me from elementary school through college (we happened to end up working at the same place one summer break from college). years passed, and i learned to deal with what happened to me, accept the fact that there may have been something wrong with those bullying me and not believe that i deserve it, and forgive them for their actions so that i wouldn't have to carry that baggage .

now, you would think that an adult would grow up at some point but sadly, that does not happen to some people. this bully found me on twitter, made uncalled for rude remarks relative to my child whom happened to be a toddler at the time.

after that incident, i changed my settings so that the bully could no longer comment as well as deleted their comments. and since they did not receive a verbal response from me but noticed they did not have the ability to comment, they quickly disappeared.

we live in a very sad world where people have to bully others to feel better. i am grateful that i was taught to fight back if anyone puts their hands on me which i did when i was being tormented, but it still did not end the bullying.

thank you for clarifying your comment. it's nice to know that you weren't trying to bully me :)
