I concede that the older you are, the more experience you have but being older doesn't necessarily make you smarter or wiser. The arrogance of age is a terrible thing - it imposes views and judgements on others deemed "younger".
The mere difference of a few years does not give you the right to rank yourself superior to all that you survey from your exalted pedestal. A 24 year old living in an ivory tower should not give advice to a 14 year old living in the streets on how to live life. How can one give advice for a life one has not lived? You're not qualified to tell others what to do unless you've been through the exact same situation. Easier said than done.
