Like the title said, I am pretty glad to be me.
If anyone hasnt read my "I Run This Town!" Post, it might not hurt to read that since I make some referances to the bully girl in this blog post.

Anyways I am just glad to be me. Not power-hungry, not completely ignorant or uneducated, well-tempered, self controlled, kind, and just me.
Rather than using intimidation to get power, I prefer to get connections and use kindness, and I don't really like to call it power even. Just being nice. It works better for me anyways, since I don't like to be mean and intimidation doesn't work when you are 107lbs and a female.

I also like that I can be open minded when it comes to politics. I don't like bashing others over their different opinions. As long as they aren't bashing me I am okay.

Im developing a backbone and gaining respect of other that have tried to push me around, while still maintaining my kindness.

I don't really like how I tend to over work myself and do too much for others.
I have hardly been able to feed my self for the last few days, and I have just noticed how dehydrated I am. My lips are dry chapped and cracked and now even my face and hands are super dry, and I don't live in a dry or warm climate.

And I have been falling behind majorly in school.
I am not even going to start with that.

But whatever. There are far worse off people than me.

Alright so it went well overall. I went over the list of rules I had made and people respected me.

I didn't take crap.
I can say I'm pretty proud about how well I did not letting people step all over me for once.

There was one little bump though, two kids got in an argument about the ways they raise their animals, and that is something that I am very serious about. Unlike all the other kids, I like to raise my cows gently, without hitting them ever. And all of my animals have been very gentle because of it.
So one kid was talking about how he punched his cow in the face for pulling him when he walked it. The other kid told him that punching animals was mean. and the cow puncher said "well then you don't know how to raise cows then!!"
At that point I chimed in, saying "HEY. Different people do things differently. You BOTH need to respect that."
They did not say a word after that.

I am so tired about being laughed at and treated badly for not hitting my animals. So I won't take it anymore.

I have improved

Today, I feel depressed and feel like crap.
The people I am supposed to be leading for a school club (as I am the president) treat me like an idiot.

To them, all my ideas are stupid and not worthy of any respect.
I even get told rude things for liking the color pink and wearing skirts, and I am a girl.. "Ew why would ANYONE like the color pink. Youre stupid for thinking that" "I don't wear skirts because I am not retarded"

What is up with these people? There is nothing wrong with differences.

And they are the reason I have to hide that I watch MLP. They make fun of other kids at my school for watching it and make fun of the show itsself, though they have never watched it before.

I just want some respect. I give them respect, so why don't I get any?

I'm starting to think that it's because I havent been showing livestock for my entire life, and that now that I do I raise them kindly and they see that as weakness..

This is my first blog I hope ya'll enjoy..

I show dogs at least one weekend a month and work for a professional while showing, I also raise and show beef cattle and hogs.

I got a new cow for christmas

I don't exactly know what else to say on here, so I guess that'll be all
