In my opinion, anyone younger than you (same generation), u can address as EM. For children, then it would be CON, CHAU, etc...
But it would be polite if that person is a man and just few years(1-5) younger than u and u address him as ANH, i think he would feel nice to hear that.
But for lady older than you, but not too much (e.g less than 5), it would be pleasing to her ears if u still address her as EM so that it made her feel Younger and happier

Im going to school, what are you doing?
In the above sentence, the age of the person speaking (anh) and to whom them are speaking to (em) hasnt been gender specified. But you would think Anh is a guy and Em is a girl.
so, what would happen if I say...
"em di hoc, chi lam ji vay?"
