young

1) Talking about young children, I understand it's important to use the right word for young. Can someone please give more information about these words.


молодёжный about how old?
молодой older, about what age?

2) follow a method - следовать способу
Does this verb take the dative case?
What about other meanings for this verb .... in English there is the literal meaning and more abstract meanings.

следовать кому-то - to follow anyone - yes it's dative
следовать за кем-то - to follow after anyone - it's instrumental (I guess)

молодёжный - I think (if we exclude the samples with someone who is 100 years old and calls the 60 years old man a boy or a youth)
it means some age between 14 and 29.

молодой is always approximate, but usually between his childhood and his late middle age.

молодой means "young"
молодёжный means "for young"
