▶ Your Answer :Some people assert that getting advice from friends is better than from older people, while others argue the opposite view. As for my opinion, I stand on the latter side. The grounds for this are not only can people save time to solve problem because their peers know larger things about current affairs than older people, but also people can make closer relationship by sharing some troubles. For one thing, people of different background has different concerns and background. As a teenager, I am unable to talk about my serious worries with elderly people, because they do not know what our generation feel, eat, or live in our everyday lives. So much information is needed to make them understand my worries. On the contrary, peers can understand what you mean and talk about our concerns more easily without any instruction of background knowledge. So you receive a better advice and save a lot of time. Take my experience, for instance. When I was in high school, I had trouble in getting along with my friends. I shared my worry with my parents, but they did not know how to make new friends because of their lack of understanding of young people. So they failed to give advice to me. On top of that, by telling their secret worry people can make close friends. Like there is a saying, “It is who you know, what you do, that makes you succeed”, having some close friends is significantly important factor of succeed. Concerning human relationship, there is no better way than sharing their stories, consulting with others, or giving some advice to your peers. Honestly, it is quite hard for older person and younger person to become a close relationship. It is much easier among people who have similar age. I have heard my little brother’s story before. Actually, he had not that much friend because he always consulted his stories with older people like their parents. One day, he told me that he was worried about his human relationship and he felt lonely because there is no friends to talk about. So I suggested him that he should consult with his friends rather than his parents and he started telling his problems with his peers. In doing so, he could make new friends and felt comfortable and relaxed. To sum up, Two main reasons of this are that : firstly, gaining help from peers instead of elderly people enables people obtain more realistic advice, secondly, it allows people acquire close relationships. For these reasons, it is much beneficial that people gain advice from peers. |
