While I agree with Elijah that the death of a loved one is bittersweet, I have a somewhat more 'pessimistic' view. In today's world teenage girls are constantly over-glorifying pain and depression. It has suddenly become 'cool' to be damaged and broken; some girls showing off cuts on their wrists like trophies, like the physical evidence of pain makes their pain superior. Girls fake a mental or eating disorder, just to grab attention where ever they can. Girls are seduced into finding a kind of sick joy in their unhappiness, because as 'one of the damaged' you can enter a community of broken girls all basking in their misfortunes; supporting each others recovery, but each not really wanting to leave the comforts of belonging to a group of people. It's disgusting that these girls are driven to the extreme of faking this kind of pain, just to receive the attention that all humans crave; and because of this girls and boys alike who desperately need help and comfort and kindness are denied these things since no one can tell if they are faking it.
(Side note: Boys may be included in this too but frankly I haven't a clue what goes on in your bloody minds.)
