What's one system you'd like to change, and how would you change it?

The mental health system. They lock you up, mask the problem with forced drugs, then try to give you some wishful thinking. If they're going to force you to be inconvenienced, least they could do is address the actual underlying problems. Altogether, I spent a year of my teenage life in a treatment center for my suicide attempts. I've also been to county jail, only difference is the people. It only served to punish and restrict, it solved nothing. I kept on with my commitment to self-destruction, all the way to permanent damage. I hate them for how they wasted my time, how they waste everyone's time. They managed to make life even more hopeless.
