Some people think it's better to ask friends for advice because friends are usually the same age and understand what you're going through. For example, if you're having trouble at school or with relationships, your friends might have just experienced the same thing. It's also easier to talk to friends about personal stuff because you know they won't judge you as much as parents might.

Another reason is that parents might not always understand because they grew up in a different time. Their advice can be a bit old-fashioned or strict. Some people also feel awkward sharing everything with their parents, especially about relationships or personal problems. Parents might also worry too much or react strongly, which can make things more stressful.

People also feel more comfortable and relaxed talking to friends. They can share secrets and get emotional support without feeling stressed. Friends usually listen and understand, so it's easier to trust them with personal problems.
