I started writing a narrative wich is supposed to be in third person. I not sure wheter what im writing is in third or first person. Can someone tell me b4 i continue????? :)

She hated everyone and when I say everyone boy di I mean it. She’s not the sort of I’d like to talk or the person anyone would want to talk to. It’s not as we hate her being ugly or because she wears glasses, we hate her because every time you talk to her, she just doesn’t talk. If you keep talking to her or ask why she isn’t talking back shell just crack the shits and start calling you all sorts of rude things.
I have to admit it she is hot, but its not like id go out with her, especially if she wont even talk back. I heard that kids used to tease her at her primary school. They teased her because she was smart. I don’t get it how could you tease someone because there smart, I mean

thankyou

Third person is written like this:

It was another fine day in the mountainous capital of New York, Albany. Commander Awesome had just departed from his secret cave mansion in the outskirts of the medium-sized metropolis to fetch some grocery items from the local supermarket. As he sailed downwards to the local Wal-Mart, he took a large sniff of the fresh late summer air and grinned, displaying two rows of absurdly bright teeth.

First person is written like this:

Sweating profusely, I walked up the steps and took a seat in the hard grey plastic chair next to Commander Awesome's couch. He continued to stare into the distance, ignoring my presence completely. After 7 minutes, I decided to say something, but the Commander began talking right before a word left my mouth. He began narrating the epic stories of his past — his heroism, his political crusades against corporations such as McDonald's and Wal-Mart, his battles with elaborately described enemies, and the life lessons he had learned from all his work. Over the course of those 45 minutes, the Commander eloquently and flawlessly told these tales in a frantic, exaggerated tone. These stories and lessons proceeded to change my life forever. They touched the inner core of my soul, birthing an entirely new person. My life would be altered forever, as the powerful voice of Commander Awesome echoed throughout the empty halls and spaces of the Astrodome.
