Depression: If your thoughts of death are impacting your ability to function, it is a big problem. Don't be embarrassed, this is in no way your fault, and it is a natural fear. That being said, it is important to seek counseling. You can overcome this fear and lead a full, active life with the right help. If you spend your whole life afraid of death, you aren't really living. Hope this helps!!

Death: At your age this should not be. Focus on other things - perhaps talk to your parents they may be able to help. If that fails then seek treatment with a psychologist. You have to understand that at some point every human has to die.
