Hi, i'm 13 and not that long ago my mum went to a funeral and the people their told my mum of how this 22 year old boy died and when my mum came home she was telling my older sisters and then i over heard my mum, it kept bothering me of how this boy died cause it just freaks me out of thinking what people out in the world are like and at the moment i'm trying to go to sleep but the same thing about how the boy died keeps repeating in my mind and scaring the hell out of me and i feel really insecure and scared how can i stop this fear?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (17 December 2007):

Hi sweetheart, you simply have to accept the reality's of life, we all die. Some of us last till were Oaps some don't see 20,others never make it out of the womb. Some of us die tragically others peacefully, some are surrounded by loved ones others alone. But we all die eventually.

If you leave the house in the morning you may get run over by a bus, does it stop you leaving the house? does it stop you from sleeping? No because you've accepted it as a reality of life. Same as death.

I'm not saying switch off and ignore your feelings, its good and healthy to feel something, just don't let it take over your life. I know this is easy for me to say I've seen my fair share of death in every imaginable way. Which is why I'm saying it.

Good luck dont let the past stop your future. x
