• It is believed that old people give better advise than young people. I will discuss my opinions in this essay.

• There is a growing tendency to seek advice from older, instead of younger, people. In my opinion, this is prudent because older people are less narcissistic and have more mature view points.

• I think that we should ask help from older people because they are wiser and more mature. On the other hand, younger people are less experienced.

• Recent research has confirmed the suspicion that our seniors are less self-involved. Just as children begin as complete narcissists incapable of feeling empathy, young people must also work through trauma, hurtful pride and delusions to become healthy.
