This is a serious question do you take the advice of teens on here serious?

knowing that they havent really had a lot of experience with lifeThis is a serious question do you take the advice of teens on here serious?
Yeah. I'm still a teenager myself. But that's beside the point.





My best friend on here is 3 years younger than me and she's given me lots of good advice =]This is a serious question do you take the advice of teens on here serious?
Definitely. I form opinions on people and what they have to say, based on who they are and what they say, not how they look, or their age, or their gender, etc. Just because a person is young, it does not mean they are devoid of sound advice, knowledge, or wisdom.





And some young people actually do have quite a lot of life experience because they've been through more than the average person.
I don't usually go to people's profile pages to try to work out their age (also many people will lie about it), I just try to listen to what sounds like the most sensible, well thought-out advice. Being a teenager, I try to answer questions to the best of my ability using my knowledge and experience, but if a question asks something I know nothing about, I don't answer it because I don't want to give people bad advice.
Experience is not the only thing that matters. Wisdom and intelligence can be shown at any age, and the teenagers here are generally both helpful and insightful in their opinions and suggestions.





Besides, if I didn't want their advice, why would I be here at all?
I've read so many questions from teens and have always tried to answer with much respect. Just because you're young doesn't mean you don't deserve respect. A lot of people tend to forget that we were all teens once. When my son was a teen all the kids would come to my house because I was one of the few parents who would actually listen to them and care what they had to say. That's so sad that there's so many adults that can't treat teens like human beings. Good luck to you.





Alex
how would you know how much experience we've had?


we have all been through are fair share of sh!t to and deserve respect like the rest


and as the days go on and life gets harder for everyone


in the long run it's gonna be our hardship and experience that makes a difference not the whiny old people who are complaining


we can never fix enough for you


but we can try
I always make sure that when I give relationship advice to tell people I have NO relationship experience, but that the advice I am giving is the way I would like to be treated in a relationship.





I will never say that I am an expert. I'm not.
I take advice based on the merit of the advice.





It doesn't matter who it's coming from.





Some people consistently give good advice, and some consistently give bad advice. That is how I learn how wise a person is, and the extent to which I can trust what they say.
im 14, going on 15


and although i haven't had a long history of being here, doesn't mean i haven't been through enough to not understand the struggles of life.





so i would take them serious, only if i could connect with them on their view point.
Actually I've been through a lot in my life and im actually pretty mature for my age. I've done so much stuff that a teenager my age would not have done. You shouldn't really judge someone because of their age.
That depends.





Life experience and age don't make you wise. I don't look at the person's age, I look at what they have written. If they have a good point, that point is just as good whether they are 15 or 50.
if they sound immature, then no. if they know what they are talking about then yes. dont be so quick to judge. some of us ';teens'; have children, and are alot more mature than you would ever think.


everyone matures at their own pace.
I have known a few teens whose advice I would take seriously just as I've known some older folks who were hardly reliable sources of anything!
Yes.





I'm still a teenager myself. I don't think age says anything about insight. You don't need experience to be smart and to have common sense.
I do! You never know just HOW much experiance they've had... answer mine?
