Why do i want to die young and is it normal?

Ever since I was thirteen I've had the feeling that I'm going to die young. By young I mean before the age of 25, and the more I think about the more I want to do it. I think about death all the time and it's often my own death. I have a fear of aging and I don't appear to be afraid of dying so this probably contributes to it; however these thoughts are getting in the was as my grades have been dropping because I don't see the point of life anymore if you're just going to die in the end, and then nothing you did while you were alive will matter.
My parents know that I'm not trying as hard at school, and they seem to think it's because I listen to heavy metal music for some reason. But I don't want to tell them why because they'll think I'm depressed and treat me differently.

    I grew up under the threat of nuclear annihilation (ever hear of mutually assured destruction?) and did not know if I even had a tomorrow. This led to turn on, tune in drop out and our generation was the first in history not to do better than their parents. Live for today became the motto of a whole generation and sex, drugs and rock and roll were our answer.
    Scroll forward 5 decades and some of actually survived. Many joined the rat race and did just fine, but others lived unique lives as Bohemians, choosing not to live conventionally.
    I would suggest you rethink things and consider living life to the fullest and leaving an old, broken, ugly corpse, rather than a young, healthy one. It would be a great deal more fun.

    I'm 26 and I've waited to die for nearly 10 years, it's normal. I have severe depression.

    I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I feel it's not worth living a long life because the world is fucked up. I say have a good time while you last.
