Is it bad that I do not feel sad or even care about Japan's disaster?

Question:

For some reason, I do not care about what is happening in Japan at the moment, I do not care that people are dieing and have no homes and are hungry... I just dont know why!!! Does that make me a bad person?

Answer:

Naw, you're not a bad person! I think a lot of it has to do with your age. I'm 16 so I'm not trying to offend you, but a lot of times teenagers are sort of selfish and they don't really have compassion for much of anything unless it involves them. It's a phase everyone goes through :P
