What do you get from having a friend who is a lot older or a lot younger?

I have both older friends as well as younger friends, i like both.I have friends that i do not see anymore as well as i have friends that i see all the time.I feel that they all have different qualitys and they are nice and chilled out people that you can relax and have a laugh with.I do also have friends that are the same age as me and they are really great as these people i use to hang out with when i was younger.

Well whiteheron I get a lot of things having them, younger people teach me their innocence, they also teach me to reminisce my younger years of experience. Every people has his own s story to tell, so whether you are old or young you touch people's lives by just being yourself. I also learned from the experienced of older adult, specially how to handle thing new to me.

Yes I do have friends who are a lot older than me same also friends who are a bit younger too.Befriending them gives you insights from them, hanging out with the younger ones makes me feel younger, while the older ones , I can larn from their experiences in life..

I have a lot of friends that are older than me. It actually helped me to understand how older people think and feel and gave me enough experience to help me when I'm dealing with older people at work. I also have younger friends and they help get updated with technology! Though my closest friends are people my age, having friends from a variety of ages would really be a good way to widen our views and understanding of people.

I don't normally have a younger friend, well except my relatives. I'm usually the youngest at all groups and classmates. The older ones are giving me a path of opportunity and more resources, while people with the same age as me are pretty much useless to deal with.

I have friends who are as old as my mother and I think it is more of an advantage than a disadvantage. They're care is more genuine, they give me advise that is more meaningful and wiser.

I have found out that you benefit from having people in your life that are both younger and older than you in your life,because you learn things from each that you wouldn't otherwise. If you just stick with your generation you end up with a lot of people who have the same view point as you,wheres the growth in that?

I have both younger friends and older friends. I get very much useful things from them about life, experience etc...I think that age are not very importance if we really want to make friendship with any persons. The most importance is we could share together about life.

We can learn different things from different friends, no matter what age they are at. Much older friends might teach us and guide us a lot in our life, because they have come through more than us. Much younger friends might also bring us much, as they are the new generation of our time, we can always get something new from the younger. In my opinion, it's so great a thing to get kinds of but true friends. You can talk with them, share with them, help them, and be helped by them. We need them so much, bcoz they teach us what life really is. Good luck to you, to get such friends.

i have a friend is a lot older than me. he is very wise to see the problems that i face. i use to get some opinion from him to seek alternatives of solving problems

I made a friend the other day that was around ten to fifteen years older than me. I thought it was a pretty enlightening experience that someone so much older would hang out and spread his wisdom. I have some older friends by 3-7 years and my relationship with them is much different than with my younger friends. My younger friends are fun to hang out with but I feel like I don't learn as much from them, whereas my older friends are really fun and they teach good wisdom.
