What if the correct term was "How young are you?"

It sucks that everything has to be about growing old and feeble. Would you like to live in a society where that was the right way to ask someone their age?

You can say that.
You'll get alot of "What?"s though.

"How young are you?" implies you view the person you are asking to be immature or childish. I simply don't ask someone their age, unless required to do so for whatever reason. In that case, I'll use "do you mind telling me your age?", or something along those lines.
