I'm sure a healthy mix of young and older people would be great.
Unfortunately, it seems to be common that there are only one or two
young people, so they feel somewhat isolated, or looked down upon...
That was one of the reasons why DFEY was originally founded, if I
remember correctly. I think teen groups have their place, too, even if
its members also attend a mixed-age group. I suspect the general vibe
of the meetings would be very different.
