A peer group is a group comprising people of similar age, background and social status.

The term 'peer group' is commonly used to describe those who might reasonably be considered to influence a person's life in terms of perceived appropriate behaviour and beliefs.

Age is probably the most important factor when speaking of a person's 'peers'.
