So, I've realized a lot of things about myself in these past few years.

1.  I hate seeing people bullied.  It's such a horrible thing, and I cannot stand it.

2.  I really like to help people with their problems.  I get such a great feeling knowing that I tried my hardest to make a difference in someone else's life.  

3.  I'm afraid of my feelings, and I don't like other people to know how I feel.  I'm not the type of person that will go up to a guy that I like and tell him how I feel.  No, I'm more of the type of person that will try and think of all the reasons not to like him and then think why I like him and over-analyze everything while still try to not let anything show.  I will NOT admit certain feelings no matter what.  Like, when I thought I was right, then realize that I wasn't.  You'll never see me admit that.  

4.  I hate it when people are passive-agressive.  I just want to tell them to get a life because the little games they play aren't cool.  Either hate me, or like me.  You can't have both. 

5.  I really hate it when people break promises, or say something and then do another.  Is it so hard to keep your mouth shut if you know you aren't going to be able to keep a promise?  

6.  I handle my money better than my mom does.

7.  The thing I hate most is when people stereotype others.  It is arguably the most ignorant thing a person can do. 

Speaking of stereotyping, I was this close to punching my mom's cousin the other night.  She's living with us, and she is very religous.  Now, I'm religous in my own way, but she is one of those people who use the bible to try and win EVERY argument.  I mean, we were discussing POLITICS, and she brought up religion.  Some of the things she said were so ignorant.  I respect other people's views as much as the next guy, but seriously, some of the things she said were just insane.  She said things like the devil was in the government.  I understand that our government is a tad bit corrupt, but it's not ALL horrible.  It's been around for over 200 years for a reason.  She was talking about Obama and said that she didn't trust him because he was black.  Not in those exact words, but she said that.  She said it was because she felt that he's racist against white people.  Now, I don't understand that at all.  He has never made a racial slur, nothing.  Yet, he HAS to be racist because he's black because ALL black people are racist against whites.  She said, and I quote, "They just want to see us all in chains."  Now, tell me you wouldn't get mad if you heard that.  But, it didn't stop there.  I tried to explain my opinion of the situation to her, but she wouldn't listen.  Oh, and she called Obama the "anti-Christ."  She wasn't like, "HE'S THE ANTI-CHRIST!"  But, she said, "Hey, maybe Obama's the anti-Christ."  Then, she laughed.  I just stared at her because I couldn't find the humor in it.  I don't even know I if I would want Obama to be president, yet I was still getting pissed.  Everything she said was just so uncalled for.  And the thing that angered me the most?  She had the never to dismiss my opinions with the, "It's because you're 15."  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!  Just because I'm 15 doesn't mean I don't have a brain.  Hell, I'm probably more knowledgeable about it all than you are!  No, I guarentee, I'm more knowledgeable than you are.  But, does that matter?  HAH!  Don't make me laugh.  None of my opinions will matter until I'm at least 25, at least.  

I can't wait to take Current Issues next year.  Then, maybe my opinions will actually be accepted, for once.  

It's not even like I was trying to bash her views.  I would just comment on things like, "You can't put ALL politicians into one group like that."  or  "Not ALL blacks think that."  And she answered with the "Well, most."  

Stereotyping is the worst thing in society right now, to me.  All it proves to me is that the person that is doing the stereotyping is ignorant.  There is no better word to describe them.  Ignorant.  Because, an entire group of people cannot feel the exact same about one issue.  It just isn't possible.  

Sometimes, I really hate my age.  

But, on a lighter note, HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY to all the mothers out there!   : ]
