Dear  student 
BENZYL CARBO CATION IS LESS STABLE WHEN COMPARED TO PARA BENZYL CARBO CATION .
BENZYL CARBO ANION IS MORE STABLE THAN BENZYL CARBO ANION. 
Hope this will help 
Good Luck

p-Methoxybenzyl cation is far more stable than p-nitrobenzyl cation, because the lone pair of electrons on the methoxy oxygen will neutralise the positive charge on the benzylic carbon by their participation through resonance
