Hi Lional Koh; yes, in the vernacular of the vulgar correctness is determined by the successful transfer of information. But no, when speaking informally often connecting words are implied that should be included when speaking to pedants.
1. Since (I was) young, I have been been healthy.
2. When (I was) young, little did I realize the importance of learning.
So, Yes and No; such is language
