As a librarian, I try to put my personal beliefs on hold as much as I can when I am working. Still, there are a few issues that might raise the kind of moral dilemma to which you refer. Luckily, no one has asked me such a question yet, and I have been answering questions for more than 30 years.
In the days before computers in libraries, a young man asked if I had a book about how to build a bomb. Feeling pretty sure my library would not have such a book, I went through the motions of searching the catalog, and as I suspected we did not have one. I am not sure why this teenager asked this question--whether he wanted to build a bomb, when he had some intellectual curiosity about this subject, or just wanted to see what I would say. That is about as close as I have ever come to such a question.

No, because it's my opinion as an answerer to bring forth honesty and truth but my answer just might conflict with the questioner's beliefs. I just tell them my truth and it's up to them to find their own truth in what I reply.

I have the conflict over the difference in what was okay in my youth, and what was okay in my children's youths. There are huge differences in matters of safety, in what 'dating' meant then, and means now.
It is very difficult for me to accept a lot of the things that young people do today--even more so than how I needed to bend in my children's cases. It made no sense--the world is a much more unsafe place these years than my youthful years--yet kids (and most of their parents) find it acceptable to do grownup things as pre-teens.

Many times. I think it's a normal thing. Nobody's the same. Everyone is certainly different even for the twins. I think we need to learn to accept differences in our lives. Differences make human life more exciting and uplifting. No?

If I understand you correctly, no. I always answer in a manner that is consistent with my beliefs.
