Complains vs actions

There was once when the school I am studying in announced that it is going to take away the mid-term recess week. I heard tons of complains from my friends and I told them that we should write letter to feedback to the school’s administrator. They comment that it is useless to feedback and that the administrators will not listen to us. I reply them this:

“If you are not going to do anything about it, then don’t complain. I think that it’s only after you have tried to do something about the matter that earns you the ‘right’ to complain.”

I don’t know whether they did do anything about it. For me, I did feedback to the school’s administrator. The administrators decided to give the students back their well deserved mid term break the following semester after which.

Complains will not get any problems solved if there are no actions taken.
