When I see and/or hear people arguing, I just want to tell them both to shut the hell up. It drives me nuts and actually triggers me, especially if they don't stop. I have learned to get myself away from the situation, but it still isn't easy.

I have to be held back and kept from leaving my job to go after an abuser when I find out one of my students is being abused.

There are times when people are sad and I feel sad too. But more often I feel like telling them to build a bridge and get over it.

I also have trouble empathisizing with my students when they get in trouble. Too often I hear they are getting a lesser consequence for a negative action because "they come from a bad home." My standard response is, "I came from a bad home too, but I didn't screw up in school."
