Ignorance is bliss.......

So I have got use to children pointing and staring at my very bald head but what I can not seem to get use to is grown ass people pointing, laughing, talking, making comments, or staring at me. Didn't your parents ever teach you any damn manners? Do you not know what doing this to some one can do to them? The past week I have really put myself out there. I took the kids to many fall festivals, to legoland, to tricker treating, I went back to school today with a whole new group of people I had never met before. So needless to say I have been around people who don't know me or what I am going threw and it has amazed me at the level of ignorance and honestly I don't know how much more I can take. At this point I go to school because I want to learn and I want to be there and these children make me want to stay home far far away from them. I feel like I am in high school again. The looks, the stares, the smart comments, the snickering and talking behind my back, how much is a person expected to deal with and brush off before they have had all they can take.....I don't know that answer but after one night of class I am almost there. I got a dean's list award tonight as well but all I could think of is how I made that stupid B and so I didn't get Presidents list :(  Then to top it all of I am sociology and the teacher wants peoples opinion on things that people don't usually talk about for fear of starting controversy. Like racism, religion, cultureism, every thing. I noticed tonight that my thought's and opinions and how I see the world is much MUCH different then those of whom I go to school with.  In the words of Maranda Lambert "Life is to short but it's to long to live like some country song".  I guess people don't expect me to express my opinion and not care if others share that view.
