I don't get it, why do we consider friends either much younger(especially) or older a bad thing?

Question

A friend is simply someone we get along with and like being around, and trust. There is NO harm in having much younger friends, or much older. Those who limit themselves to age miss so much of the world. A relationship is one thing, a friendship another. The age differences, with the walks of life these friends have had, may be very helpful to us, in any circumstance. I have many friends both much younger and older, being 18, I have thirteen year old friends to 30+ year old friends, and anywhere in between. My uncle is 50ish, and he is one of my most trusted friends, granted he has relation on his side, but a valuable friend none the less. Why do some consider this age difference bad?

Answer 1

I think it is good to have older friends, mainly because they could be a good mentor.
An older/younger friend might not be into doing the same thing as the other. but I actually think that it is a good idea to have an older friend for the mentor purpose.
Afterall, they have already gone through alot of similar instances that younger people go through and they good be a good role model on how to get pass them.
For people that think that its bad or w/e thats stupid.
And if your friends with someone younger, then you could be a good mentor to them and also help keep some of your youth.

Answer 2

I say- why question these people to why they think what. So what!! Each indivual sets us aside from the another. I'd say- these people are missing out on lifes opportunities, each age gives us something we want in return. Why do people question others on why they do certain things. They just do

Answer 3
