A better temprament comes with doing more games (experence).
Because up until now you have not read between the line, I'll be a little more blunt.
Cool it! You're taking it too seriously. Let them into the game- laugh it off and realize it is part of working Jr. High. Sometimes we all know the rules but how to enforce them is what makes good officials.
Trust me (because I'm still there) relax and enjoy the game. I was the same way on the softball fields. If there was a minor infraction or a way to enforce a little know rule I was right there to do it. Then I started doing men's fast pitch. In three years I have yet to see a legally throw pitch not to mention all of the other violations. Some are important and most are not. I have now umped two ASA National Tournaments and am a better official.
Water rolling off a duck's back!
