Struggle is the debut studio album by American nu metal band Nonpoint. It was released through the now defunct independent label Jugular Records.
Several of the songs were later re-used on the band's next album, Statement. The album was originally released independently as Separate Yourself in 1997 with a different track listing. Although the same mixes are used between both releases, a number of songs are exclusive to each. There is no edition which contains every known song from the album sessions. Although the album was reissued again under the original name, but with the suffix "The Beginning 1997–1998" added on, the track-listing for this release is the same as the first reissue and does not feature the songs exclusive to Separate Yourself.

Reception
AllMusic wrote: "Melding funk and hardcore with their own vision of what rapmetal should sound like, Nonpoint managed to create a sound that isn't readily comparable to other groups."
