Im really mad right now can you tell

Some people really are just malicious and it makes me wonder, why do I even bother?
Why do I care? Why do I go anywhere?
I dont like this place and the people that live in it, never have, I just do the bare minimum and not any else, yet I care so much about everything as if I didnt wanna be anywhere else, why cant I just imagine the world as a fantasy land and live in my own reality

Thank god you don't know about West Africa and it's biggest child prostitution market in the world. Both boys and girls working just to feed their families, as well as their own parents selling them to brothels.

But sure, be mad at Japan, because that's what's important for you. Who cares about Africa. It doesn't produce anime or manga or those quirky foods you can buy locally.

I didnt know about that! Dude!
I only knew about the japanese thing cuz I saw it in my manga! Im not racist! The heck!

Firstly, you're allowed to be upset and complain about a specific set of events or circumstances without having to lament the entirety of the world's woes. A person is, for example, allowed to be upset at gun violence in America without having to cry every morning about violent militia in the Congo. You are allowed to make a complaint about a south east country's way of doing things WITHOUT needing to also bring up and mourn over problems in Africa, especially when that complaint is being posted on a website mainly dedicated to South East content.

On the topic of your post though, I will say this. It is self-destructive to care about things you cannot control. I am not implying that you pretend they don't exist and ignore them, rather I would say that you need to focus your emotions towards where you are right now with the people who are around you right now. If you want to make a positive impact, even the bare minimum, you need to start with the world within your reach.

@Hitspark big thanks dude, and I get that its self destructive, so much so that my reply to my post was bitching about why I cared so much about it
Its hard to do that one day to another though, I genuinely lose sleep over things like these and itll probably be a long road till I fully accept the world is just like that and theres nothing I can do about it, thats something painful to accept after all, this is why I like feeling small sometimes, makes my worries feel minimal so I can focus on my friends and the good parts about my life... Thanks for the advice

Don't worry, in Europe they invite 12-13 YO teens to get them drunk without any mixer ceremony or whatever, it's a pretty worldwide thing (taking advantage of others, specially younger). The sugar daddy thingy is also not only Japanese only (starting from middle school usually, you can also read manga about that), you find the same stuff in many, many "advanced" countries. You can rest assure that most of the things that happen there also do in your country.

I have to know that in my country its even worse cuz the age of consent is 14 jeebus louibus

@Hitspark point of my comment is to show how little of a problem it actually is compared to what's happening right now all over the world, not necessarily to participate in World Woes Olympics.
Certainly nothing worth losing sleep over.

World has always been shit, murder/rape/slavery while more common back in a day, is still happening everywhere around the world, especially in Africa.

You can complain about things you care about of course, but don't expect other people to not point out how childish it is.

I dont think we should take two bad things to see which is worse, thats kinda immoral

my country its even worse cuz the age of consent is 14

Sure! A bunch of people suffer from tuberculosis, thusly it isn't a big problem at all! It's a natural thing
