for some reason the thought of dying makes me sad and frightened and the thought of living forever also makes me sad and a rather sick feeling. Its confusing I don't want either :'( (I am 15 yrs old)
Suggestion:
Oh my little one do not ponder these things for there will be time when you have lived awhile. You will soon learn that how long a person lives is not as important as how much they live. Remember that we cannot control the length of our life, but we can control its breath, depth and height.
Go out and enjoy your life and think about how wonderful it is to be alive. Very soon you will begin knowing what love is and realize that our life has more meaning than we can imagine.
I do agree that living long would be intolerable. Heck, why yearn for immortality, if we do not know what to do with ourselves on a rainy afternoon.

life is long if you know how to use your time wisely. no matter what we all are gonna die. even if you were to live to be 1200 years old, what hell you gonna do for that long? Life is not short, but we make it short.
You have to live your life, as if it were the last day. Imagine if you are told. "hey, you will die tomorrow then think how you are going to live your life today, Friends? Family? Sing ? Dance? Pray ?
Do something that you want! to do. You enjoy doing, Dying is inevitable, Truth is you will die. Wethere you like it or not. depends how you live your life in order to figure out if evrything was worth it.
Once you do that. My friend. There is no Fear of so called Death.
good for you
You are at a point in your life where it is quite normal to think like this . Please don't 'sweat it " for too long, for you have no power over the future.
Reason tells you that you will die one day, but still it is difficult to contemplate.
For me , the trick is to live the moment I am in, live the moment in which I am breathing , the moment that I am alive and thinking.
We are not promised another moment , day or year . All we can do is to do the very best at taking care of our body, mind spirit, and those around us. If we do this to the very best of our ability, we have a better chance of living a longer happier life.
In the end , Sweetheart , it does not matter what we want . our lives will end one day.
In all likely hood you will be ready and willing and accepting of death on the day it comes.
I have watched several people die and it always seems that they are ready and accepting , even embracing it in the end.
You have now , and in all likelihood you have many exciting , adventurous years ahead of you .
Live the life you are blessed with to the fullest and make some one else's live worth the living too .
If you are associated with any type of church, faith or mentoring type group it helps to have a belief system to be of comfort in times like these , seek them out …………Be happy !
Why do you not want to live forever? Is it because it will suck? I don't believe it has to be that way.
