If someone is holding a grudge against you how will they act?

If someone is holding a grudge against you, it is not important how they will act. It's how you will act that is important. You follow the golden rule, avoid assumptions and gossip and be respectful of others. If you sense some danger from this person, report it to someone appropriate, a parent, a teacher, a manager depending on the situation. This is not to get the grudgee in trouble or for the person to take any action, just to let someone else know your situation. If you respect others, most others will respect you.
