Why is it always so sad when a young person dies?
A girl from my school passed a while back and, although she was pretty unknown around school, we're all pretty sad about it---especially the adults. When I was in the fifth grade I lost a classmate, too and my parents were so shocked. I find that people tend to be more sad about a child passing than an adult or senior citizen. Why is that?

Well, when a child passes away people are more sad because they haven't lived their life fully, they lost it young. They haven't gotten the chance to venture out in the world. Versus a senior citizen who has lived most of their life & seen what the world has to offer. I hope this helps

Because they still had a lot of time before their natural death.
They never got to live their life, they had potential to do great things.
