Why should you feel worse about it than you do? Because he was young? I don't know.
Death can be a really hard thing to come to terms with, it can be devestating. However there usually tends to be an emotional involvement for this.
I went to a funeral yesterday. Now, she was an old lady. She was 85. So, i dont know if you feel this way because he was a young kid or if this has anything to do with it or not but I don't have an emotional attactchment to this woman. She used to say hello to me every time I saw her, her husband was the same when he was alive. She was a neighbour, had lived around here pretty much all of her life and so I knew of her, would talk to her whenever I saw her and thought she was a lovely old lady.
Thats the extent of any attatchment I had to her though, so I went to her funeral to pay my respects and then I went to the pub with my mates and got drunk.
You don't necessarily have to feel any worse than you do to learn of someones death.
