Our current culture is not necessarily one that was chosen. If schools are like prisons – they are, then it's top-down enforced. The APA is also a sinister cabal of vipers, so psychology is corrupt to quite an extent. These children are blind-sided, and their parents are too retarded and zogged out to do anything about it. Where's the choice for these young, misguided people?

Point. Nefarious players at play.
