How do you react when someone abuses their power over you?

The only way that people can have power over us is if we assume that their power is the only power worth bowing to. We have Christ who is over all. If we are bowing to the power that God put above us, then no circumstance or resignation, or trial is too much to work under. We don't try to coerce people into doing the things that we ask but their grace is over them and us. If grace allows it, it can happen. Even if we seem to be bowing to someone, we know that if we follow our values and rules, we are actually bowing before our Creator, and then we can stand before anyone.

I always hated dictatorship and I don't accept it from anybody. My reaction depends on what I can do to change things or how it affects me. But in the majority of the cases, I will fight back with words and I don't accept abusive measures on me. It is more difficult when the person who abuses me is more powerful physically than me and is in front of me, but many times I get so upset that I don't care and I respond to the abuser. I have had many fights with teacher during school and high school whenever I felt that they are trying to abuse of their power. I've got angry and responded them with heavy words, so they remained shocked and I guess I reached my goal. I have never been punished for using those heavy words( and I don't mean ugly ones), just I pointed out that we live in democracy and those kind of abuses cannot be made anymore.

I'm American , the politicians Think they have power over us but they don't. If a parent tries to rule , we usually start ignoring them and lie our pants off and for bosses? When it happens , usually there comes a time where the proper revenge arises! If not trhen we either just grime and bear it or change jobs. So mostly we don't take any sh!t for long.

has not happened to me to have some power over me. I do not let anyone have power over me. also I think politicians have no power over us. nice day! Do not let your mind some.

it happen to me when i was in college and my teacher who known as 'killer teacher' abuse his power on my final exam, but because i want to graduate, i swallow my pride and just do whatever he asked me about my final exam. One year after that i worked at some office and i see one of the designer staff was abused by our supervisor, the supervisor who isn't a designer complain many things about the design he make, so he do what his supervisor told him to do, but when the big boss see the re-design, he was unhappy with the result and suddenly the supervisor blame the designer for the bad result, then the designer print the previous design and the big boss is happy with it, but later the designer found out that his supervisor take all the credit for the work he was doing... the designer is an old guy so i think maybe the only thing that make him still working there is because he have a family to feed, but the attitude of that supervisor make me want to leave the office so a month after that i resign my self from that office before it's too late and i can't go anywhere else.

Good day. Actually, I don't often come into this kind of situation. But there are times that things like that happen to me. Firstly, I don't think we should turn to some extreme ways. It would only make things worse. We should really have a talk with parents or teachers. At least we should have our voices heard. On that base, others are able to understand what we are thinking. If that doesn't work, I'll just do things in my own ways. Though violating the authority will possibly bring punishments, I prefer to stick to my own principles. That would make me feel comfortable.

I don't really see that as them taking power over us, maybe politics are the only ones i believe they take power over us but that's it. I think parents and teachers don't take power over us but just discipline us in a different ways that at times it may look like them taking over us. But i try to always look why they do that....
