When a parent, sibling, friend, or relative dies, teens feel the overwhelming loss of someone who helped shape their -fragile self-identities.

of happiness in the whole world. When I am angry, my silence will become louder than your words. But when I love, it is with a force that is stronger than the self, selfless, almost self-destructive to those who would allow it to be. The Greatest Gift My whole life I have been around people who for them, love wasn’t enough. And, if you did one wrong, love wasn’t enough to cure it.
