At this age you are very suggestible and will easily identify with negative things in particular. Perhaps you may also have weak ego boundaries, which can also make it easy for you to merge and lose your identity with other people and ideas. But my concern is that this is also the last opportunity for you to resolve any childhood issues that need attention. These death ideations may stem from some lurking trauma that needs immediate resolution. Meet with a counselor and work through this soon: while it is troubling it is also an opportunity to sort out the problem happily now itself. For your information it is always better to relate to the present and the reality, which is, that if you are living a healthy and risk-free life death is not something for you to worry about. So if the facts are present only then a possibility exists. I can't see such a development at such a young age. Sudden death can happen to anyone if we expose ourselves to accidents. So don't worry and if you are spiritual have faith in yourself and God to safeguard you, Say your prayers daily.
