[QUOTE="keista, post: 515982, member: 11965"] Sorry, I don't know how long she's been wanting to talk about death, but you can send her here and I'll talk to her about it. Generally there are two reasons kids want to talk about death - 1. to freak out the grown ups in their lives and 2. because they can't stop thinking about it. Not necessarily that they are suicidal, but because they are obsessed with the topic and they don't even know why. Death is the reason that teens often make poor choices. They don't comprehend the permanence of FOREVER. Kinda ironic that you posted this today since last night, my DD1 was creating a list of things she wanted to do and at the end there was a distinct "Oh, and I [B]don't [/B]want to die." WOOT! First time I've heard something that positive out of her mouth in about 4 years! And yes, she has an extensive collection of morbid poetry as well. [/QUOTE]
