Someone who has less power than  me.
Year 7 "excuse me"
Me "sorry mate didnt mean to get in your way"
Year 7 "thats alright"
Me "you all alright you look a bit shaken"
Year 7 "yeah im fine"

The power in this conversation is shown as I am happy to make sure that the young year 7 was all okay. Hwever he shy's away from the conversation due to un intentional intimidation which has come purely from my power of being a sixth former has caused him to shy away from the help I was trying to give to him.
