I feel helpless about people in pain, what do I do?

Home More advice Politics & Law

I live in a town where they educate us (I'm 14) a lot about world issues. Poverty, starvation, etc. So I'm very aware of so many issues. I happen to be really good at empathizing and some times I can't stop. It's like whenever I hear about everything that's going on or whenever I think about it, I feel like I'm the one being hurt and it hurts so bad. I can't stop it. I just want to help but I'm 14, I can't do much. And I do do what I can but I feel so helpless and it kills me to know that people are in pain. What am I supposed to do?
