Is it normal not be afraid of death at a young age?

Actually, plenty of people are unafraid of death regardless of age. In a recent American survey, about a quarter of people reported being unafraid of death, and another quarter reported only being a little afraid of death. Fear of death is natural even at an early age - many children start fearing death around 6 to 7 years of age, and some adolescents obsess about death. After all, without a healthy fear of death, the human race would probably be extinct by now! However, the opposite is also true - given that death is an inevitability for every one of us, fearing it excessively will paralyze us entirely. So the ability to live day to day without thinking about death is also important for our mental health.
