What will be an ideal response?
Young adults understand the finality of death, but still persist in a belief that it is not likely to happen to them. This is referred to as unique invulnerability in the text. Young adults tend to overestimate their life expectancies. The text also explains that the loss of a loved one during young adulthood shakes this feeling of unique invulnerability, sometimes to the point of suicide.
