Welcome! This here is for young survivors that are not sure about surviving in a civilization lost apocalypse full of undead beasts. I am here to give you tips, tell you advantages of being young, disadvantages, and so on forth. Now, I would consider the optimum age for "young" is 12-18. This range seems to be a fairly mature group and at least know about real life issues and how to do things alone.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Being Young: Your young, and as of that, there are many advantages and disadvantages that you have at your age.
Advantages:
Youth: You are young, so you can do many things older people can't do. Maybe you can run faster, crawl into small spaces, climb easier, your not fat(yet), and you won't be straining your back any time soon!
I'd say that is all you have. Youth is always on your side. Other then that, you have a whole lot of disadvantages.
Disadvantages:
Lack of experience: You haven't experienced life as it has to offer. You haven't learnt lessons, you haven't gotten a real job, maybe haven't even drove, let alone gotten to college or lived on your own. These are quite crucial when it comes to Z'day, as experience is what can decide life or death.
Electronic Oriented: Admit it, how long do you think you can go without the Internet, TV, you DS, your Mp3, etc? I'm betting your parents could do it. They were raised when these things didn't even exist. You, on the other hand, was raised near the 21st century. Your life depends(as you think) on electronic entertainment to keep you going. Unless you know you don't need these things, this is a very big thing in your way.
