You know what really grinds my gears?: The moaning thread.

Y'know, just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them 'herd people' or 'religious zealots'.

I'm here to moan.

I hate how powerless I feel in this society. The bureaucracy has so much control over our lives. People are abusive, mean scum. I'm struggling with the fact that I have no power over others. It's like I'm under complete control and it makes me rage inside. I have no power to do the things I truly please to do. Everyone is so used to it they've become pathologically convinced that it's okay. It's not okay. I don't want to live this feeble life until I die. I don't want to be restricted by the boundaries of my own strength and intelligence. I am though and I shouldn't have to be.

You are aware that most every teenager goes through that feeling at some stage of their teen years, aren't you?

It'll wear off... you'll find something worth your while... you'll grow up.

In the mean time, it's best not to verbalize all that angst, as it may come back and byte you in the ass.

And that's why everyone keeps telling you to grow up.

Well said.
