1 - READ THE WORD
He knows nothing
“Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”

2 - Reflect
It is very common for adults, when challenged by young people, to be negative in their thoughts and hold the idea that these youths know less than them. Less about life because they have had fewer experiences, less about faith, less about love. Sometimes teenagers are questioned because adults mistakenly believe they are unable to give advice because they have not experienced or suffered enough.
The truth is that this is a mistake, linking knowledge to age is something that has nothing to do with the truth. It can be that a young person is deeply connected to God the Father in his heart and from that connection he has access to the wisest thoughts and the purest advice.
However, there will be adults who question it, they question it because they feel threatened by that spirituality. We must learn to listen to one another regardless of our paths or our seniority. We will all go through different paths that will turn us into Christians who deepen our faith. With God we will always find the best answers to our problems. The youngest ones can be the ones that give us a valuable lesson in life or the older ones can point out a path that is wrong, the important thing is to trust in God the Father's design and hold on to Him.
