Today, age is only in number, atleast that is what I think. There is this one thing I heard, the older you get, the more childish people wish to become 😆 You definitely will observe live examples, For me the examples are quite live, My grandparents are really children, In the way they think atleast. Sometimes I just cant comprehend them😕

Usually, younger folks always say things that may sound much sensible at first, but sometimes if you ponder over it they could just leave you amazed 😆

Sometimes even, children say things so innocently, they don't realize that they have suggested something highly significant.
Its the maturity that counts, 😆

Accepting advice from somebody younger doesn't make you any less inferior then them. Sometimes it is the innocent that have the simplest cure to our complex problems. Adults intend to over think and make things far more complex than they really are. A younger person may have a much simple and pure suggestion.

Taking advice from somebody online is not only because we don't know their age.. there is much more than that. I Feel that online we don't have to worry about be targetted. We can confide in something which is like an online diary and have honest unbiased feedback. This differs from that from a friend because you may always regret/remember knowing that you told a friend something you makes you seem weaker. Online you can get the answers to your secrets which you don't want people around you to think your inferior because you seek help for them.
It depends, if i was to share info with a younger person in life.. It will need to depend if i know this person and if i am close to them. If so and if it is the right frame of moment, why not? I would certainly confide in them :)
Awesome Discussion Mahi =]

Do you think age matters in taking advice? Would you accept advice from a person younger than you? I don't think age should matter. I don't mind taking advice from my younger cousin sister because she is very honest with me...

Is that why online discussions are so valuable? We don't know each other's age (at least not right in the beginning) and we just take their advice and if it seems reasonable we follow it.
Maybe sometimes people feel embarrased to take advice from younger people. 😆
Would you even discuss your problems with younger people in life?
Yes..I share it with my younger cousin..she is mature and old enough to give me advice😆

Perhaps it is better to get advice from those who are young. After all, when we grow up, we have too many things going on in life (family, job, money, etc, etc, etc). I'm not saying that young people don't have their plates full enough, but what I am saying is that they don't look at life in such a complicated way as adults do. They do what they think is right, and they don't need to think of a thousand things that can be impacted by their decisions. There is a sense of innocence within those people, and I personally think these are the people who can give the best advice.
