▶ Your Answer : A large number of people might argue that getting advice from older adults is more beneficial than asking for advice from friends. Contrary to popular belief, I think that it is better for people to ask for advice from the friends of the same age group for following reasons: peers can understand the situation better,and it is reluctant to ask their parents about the problem.
First of all, advice from the friends of same age group might be more helpful since they can sympathize the problem better. It is obvious that peers experience similar problems. Their suggestions are likely to bring about a better result because they can understand the problem and can give reluctant encourage. For example, when I was in grade 6, I fought seriously with my best friend. I decided not to apologize until she talks to me. However, my other friend suggested me to apologize first. I listened carefully to his suggestion and apologized to my best friend. It turned out that it was a misunderstanding on my part. Had I not spoken to her, I would have never get along with best friend again.
Moreover, asking parents or older adults for advice can be a reluctant task to people. It is commonly observed that parents is difficult than peers or classmates since parents may get angry listening to the problem which their children had mistaken. However, friends may try to help with the problem, not blaming about it. Also, it is more easy to ask for advice since children usually spent their time with their peers in school, not with their parents. To illustrate, when I was really young, I teased my friend but I wanted to apologize to her. When I told this to my parents for advice, they blamed me of teasing the friend, not an advice. On the other hand, when I asked to my friend, he advised me about apologizing well.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that the advantages of getting advice from peers far outweigh those of receiving one from older adults for the reasons I have mentioned above. All in all, the importance of learning from peers can not be underestimated in order to improve the quality of life. |
