The loss of a family member or close friend, although tragic, can have positive outcomes.

I agree, because it sometimes helps those left behind realize their own mortality, to take better care of themselves and others. It can draw estranged family members and friends closer. Makes people realize how short life is and to better care for themselves and others, and if you need to mend a fence now is the time to do it as you may not have a chance again. We never really realize how important people are to us until we lose them. Sometimes we take advantage of our relationships until they are gone. You may join a volunteer group to help cancer, drunk driving, etc. to be prevented. So the death of one person in your life can help you to save other lives.

Socio-economic issues aside, teenagers everywhere face the same problems.

I agree, because even if you have different beliefs and live in different countries you still have relatively similar problems.
