text: Not only the age of the people you ask matters but how they act. If they are a bad influence on people, you should definitely not ask those types of people for advice, because they could lead you in the wrong direction. Look for people you know will be helpful and who will try to point you in the right direction to get you on the right road. Stray away from asking mischeveous people, and go for people who try to do good things. Asking a lot of good people is better than asking bad ones. It is always good start with adults when asking for advice, because they were kids once too, and they may know a lot even if they didn't grow up in the same generation. Many grew up differently, and the different responses can come in handy.
