I'm Tired

Recently there has been alot of stuff that has been bothering me. My school, the war, gas prices, immigration, gay/straight, abortion, the patriot act, the government, katrina, really just everything. I'm soo tired of all the shit and problems. I really want to at least do something about some of it. However, there is so much going on right now, how am I supposed to decide what is more important? How am I even supposed to do anything about something as big as the war or gas prices? Every day I hear something in the news or something that is happening around me that makes me mad. There is so much that just makes me shake my head and say "why the hell is that even a problem? How can people be so stupid and heartless?"
Sometimes I just think people get to caught up in their own ideas to stop and even listen to someone else. To take a walk in someone elses shoes and see if maybe that person has a point. I've always tried to be very open minded and un biased, but I feel like I'm the only one. It seems there is no one around me to help me make even my community a better place. If I can't even help my community how could I ever help my country or the world? Every one around me is so sure of themselves and so set in there ways that it infuriates me. I live in a small town in Ohio, anything that is "weird" is looked down on. If anyone tries to change something, they're called trouble makers, and people say "why can't they just leave things be?" I really want to help people around me and make where I live a better place, but I don't know how to do it, I feel like I have no one to help me, and I don't even know where to start.
I've always wanted to write an essay or something for uaa but I can never decide what I'm more passionate about. I can never decide what needs peoples attention, because I think almost everything deserves peoples attention. This little essay( or whatever you would call it) goes out to whoever thinks they can help me. I really want to do somethig. I want to make a difference and make the world a better place. Someone help me.
