I was happy with my addition, so am going to crosspost it here. Just had my second vaccine dose so hopefully this isn't incoherent.

Advantages to younger people from knowing older ones.

Thanks for posting that. I hope it reaches the eyes of people who need to see it. When I was a kid I was starving for adult mentors and role models, and I'm so glad I was able to find some. If I'd convinced myself that somehow interacting with adults was inherently problematic, I would have been so screwed.

Yeah, I didn't really know any non-parent/teacher-y adults until I got to uni, but some of the ones I met there were a revelation.
