text: Talking to all these different people gives you an opportunity to talk to people of different age groups who have more life experience then you. Asking people younger than you helps you because they have a open and free flowing mind. They might give you the simplest answer that never crossed your mind. Talking to your peers about things is also helpful. They understand how your peers react with one another, so he/she can help you get a prospective close to something another peer would say. Reaching out to your elders I find to be the most important. They have a lot more life experience then you, and there is a possibility that they have gone through something similar. They can give a lot of important advice just from their past experiences and things they have done growing up. Plus, sense what happened is in the past they already know the outcome of their decision, so they can share it with you to pass on what they either did right or wrong. This way either kind of advice in beneficial, if they found they did something wrong you know to stay away from that option, and if they found they did something right you know to consider it.
