Hmmm... I think actions affect trust, not age. In Sarah's case, I think her story is such that I would be skeptical regardless of the person's age.

Sara was always capable of fast learning and her age not important to trust her, confidence is something that you earn. For some people maybe will be difficult to trust in a younger stubborn person.

I agree. Someone can be old and be completely untrustworthy, while others can be young but have done things to show others that they are worthy of being trusted.

I don't think it's wise to put too much stock in a person's age to assess their level of trustworthiness, but rather by their behavior. "By their fruits shall ye know them."

Yes since age increase as wisdom then trust also become more serious and firm

True but a child's direct honesty.and innocence might well offset age and wisdom, for with age also comes ability to deceive trick.and confuse. So perhaps it might be easier to trust a child knowing the child is direct honest and not skilled in disguising motive or intent...

I believe those of an older age are able to form lies better; however, the imagination of younger people could also account for unbelievability.

In my opinion, it could have changed how the rest viewed her story and perhaps they would have believed her. However, her story would sound difficult for anyone to believe too despite the age.

Wow. This is a new perspective that is quite true, yet we can easily overlook it. However, I believe that this depends on the age of the child. A younger child will have a higher possibility of being believed if this will apply.

Age has nothing to do with this. Infact she portrayed a more mature character.

Maybe or Maybe not because if we want to believe something we just believe it without any reasons and if we don’t nothing can make us believe that thing except our own experiences. So it really don’t matter.

Age affects trust but the more you get to realize the abilities of the other person, trust will subdue the age factor. Age is confounding factor for trust really

I believe young people should be trusted more.

Yes I also agree that youngsters need more trust so that they may confidently share their thoughts.

I don't think Sarah's age kept the others from believing her story as much as how outlandish the possibility of it was. Her age could have contributed to how extreme it sounded since young people are often credited with larger imaginations. Also, Tom was still new in her life and she had not yet built a relationship of trust. Age alone did not seem like the only factor here.

I think age affects trust because normally most children just like Sarah are not easily trusted.
