Is it okay to have younger friends?

i don't have many friends.. but recently ive started hanging out with this group of people.. different ages really. i'm 18. Their age range is something like 14 - 20. 14 year olds i would have thought are a bit young for me. but they act so much older, and i'm not the oldest person there. So is that ok?

AndrewPenney	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 11:09AM LawRaJayne, I too find that younger people can be very mature and grounded. But if this is EP (not Real Life, where you can see exactly whom you are talking to), do please be careful what you share with them just in case they are not the age they claim to be. There are a few grown men here who use fake accounts to talk to younger people ... just be sensible... and guarded. Take care ! AP Rated: +3Vote for this!
PurpleQueen	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 5:50PM Of course it is, at any age. I'm 36 (going on 37) and I have friends from 23 to 48 years of age. Different ages=different opinions, backgrounds, interests... which all make a more interesting friendship! Rated: +2Vote for this!

AngelsTears	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 5:51PM Its not a problem at all. I'm 18 also and my two best friends are 15. Rated: +2Vote for this!
mghale	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 5:52PM Yeah, I think it is fine to have younger friends. I'm 21 and I have friends which are in high school. I mean it shouldn't matter what age they are if you have things in common then why should age matter? I think friends are people that we can share experiences and fun with. Rated: +2Vote for this!
koyptakh	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 6:21AM Hi LawRaJayne It might seem Ok now but when you are all in a retirement home when you are 70 they will only be 66 to 68. That is absurd and will look too odd! For for your future self's sake you must never have friends younger than 69! :) ps Annasangels is 70+ so you could be friends with her - just do not forget to speak up. :) Rated: +1Vote for this!
wary1	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 6:25AM If it's not okay to have younger friends, then old people (like me) will be very lonely, no? Rated: +1Vote for this!

manav	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 9:23AM friends must be friends, not younger, not older. friendship lacks boundaries, if it is true. but take care too as AndrewPenny suggestions. Rated: +1Vote for this!

xSapphire	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 3:16PM My best friend is almost 4 years older than me. I did not know what she found in a kiddo like me... But I have found out that it is not your age but your ability to be loyal and confident matters. Rated: +1Vote for this!
HippyChix	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 10:02AM Oh course it's OK! Lol, I think most of my friends are younger than me. Plus, a lot of the time younger people are much more fun than older people seeing as their not tied down, stressing about relationships and stuff... :) Rated: +1Vote for this!
loyaldude	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 5:10PM Friends are great and this is how go about being with my friends. If I want to feel young I go with an older crowd and if I want to feel mature and old I go with a younger crowd. In retrospect age is only a number like the rings in the tree trunk.
