Don't give up! I used to think the same way until I realized that if I didn't stand up for what's right, I had no reason to expect anyone else to. This is one of the driving forces behind my recovery (both from a lifetime of dysthymia/depression and a recent pattern of drug addiction/self medication) and my goal of returning to college in the fall so that I have some chance of affecting change in the world.
