Since im agreeing to relationships to be boundless, then i suppose friendship should be of no barrier at all,

If friendship is to be judged because of age, then there is really no point making friends in the first place.
Getting mixed with younger people, gives you knowledge of where the next generation is coming from,
While mixing with the older , gives you insight and wisdom , where you do not gain at your current standing.

Its a good thing to be opened up to friends of a wide spectrum, and learn from their experiences,
But the caution of mixing with the right friends still preceeds.
People are generally cunning and some may end up using you without you knowing, thats what they always say about opening the doors to strangers.

Its a double edged sword, but used with caution can prove a lethal weapon.
Remembering that nothing venture nothing gain. There is much to learn, and even more to understand from your social circle.

As far as it is, the sky's the limit.

Good luck

I don't agree that there's a limit. You can even be friends with your parents' friends, for example, like I am. Of course, being friends with people your age is probably better, but people shouldn't stick to that.

I think that you can be friends with anyone ant any age, but you should casually hang out with people a little closer to your age. Like if you're 10 you probably shouldn't be hanging out with a 40 year old...

all of my "friends" are my age.

I put it in quotation marks because they aren't my true friends

You're fine. You could have no friends at all.

Absolutely agree. However you define "friendship", it may depend on many things, but simply age/gender/ethnicity shouldn't be one of them. I have sexual and non-sexual friends. Friends where I act their age, friends where they act mine. All of them I accept them as they are, and put their happiness and well-being ahead of my own (as best I can).

One reason I can read and write today is that, at 10, I had a good 40 year-old friend. Get your mind out of the gutter people.

I get along best with people 8-15. Most teens beyond that are just too far-out for me to relate to. If I were to run into one I liked, sure. But that's not an age bias. It's more like a standard of decency I've set for myself. And I honor wisdom and experience. Why shouldn't I?

it really depends on the type of relationship and with who. i'm really close with my 19 year old cousin who's a female. typically, i wouldn't hang around her because i wouldn't be allowed, but it's my cousin and we are both old enough, and mature enough, to know what's ok and what's not ok. so i think it depends on several factors.

i dont think theres an age limit your parents might not approve of older friends as your younger friends parents might not approve of you bein their friend but as long as your decent n your friends are decent people i dont think its n issue im 13 n got much older friends my parents are just cautious of when im around them n what not not only bout innapproprite stuff but some of them are old enough to drink n buy alcohol but my parents trust me to make good decisions i aint gave them any reason not to yet i think thats what it all comes down to is trust between you, your friends, the parents everyone i mean if you had a secret friendship or you start gettin in trouble expect your parents to prolly blame your older friends as well as if your younger friends do the same expect their parents to want to blame you... i think we can learn alot from older friends n teach younger friends alot
