    As an adult I don't really think that age matters. But for a 14 y.o., I would just be 'cautious'

    I don't think it's bad to reveal your age nor your name. The one thing you do not reveal is your personal information such as Credit Card, Address, and etc....with only having your name and age they cant find you...lol

    You should never reveal any private information to strangers on the internet,
    it's dangerous.

    As much as possible no, revealing more personal infos makes you more vulnerable to the public.

    I don't see anything wrong in giving your age.If you can give your name, you can give your age too.However, giving your address, contact details and other personal details is not advisable.

    Hello Carl...its first time I noticed that you are also here at this forum.

    Mabuhay tayo mga Pinoy! I think sometimes it is advisable not to reveal our real age on the internet. This is for safety purposes especially for minors. As for me, I hide my age because I am not young anymore hehehe.

    To me, age is not a barrier for someone to perform well. So I don't see there's a need to know about this piece of information in the first place.

    I don't think there should be any problem in revealing your age, just don't reveal your other particular information, like - Address, Phone no. and such. :D

    Yeah, you revealed your age, but it's not an issue anymore. Anyway, it's better to not share your personal information in the internet

    It's kinda an individual question, if you want that your interlocutor will know your age, then you can tell it him/her and vice verse, if you don't want that your interlocutor will know your age, you just don't tell it to him/her. I believe that it's a right of everyone whether reveal real age or not. In my opinion, people are able to reveal their age if they are convinced that they trust a particular person. Moreover, this information isn't belonged to confidential information about a person, so you can easily share it. So, everything is individual as I said and is up to you. Be careful in the net.
