Be specific about why you are asking.
And be honest.

Blackrabbit could not have said this any better. In fact, I think this perhaps one of the best quotes I have seen on this topic.

A boy is unsure about himself, his place in the world and can be easily influenced. He tries various things to find manhood and is still dependent on others to survive. He acts often without thought. He lives in the present. A boy will puff out his chest, believe his muscles and virility make him a man. A man is sure about himself, he knows his value. He is independent. He has learned from the past, lives presently and plans for the future. Most of his actions are thought it and so, he is responsible. He is no longer vulnerable to the vast temptations of youth, he knows the difference between adventure and stupidity. A man has a calmness about him, a firm handshake, his eyes study. He wears his wisdom with humility.
