Who says Hamlet is 17? The gravedigger says (V,i, 150) that he started work as a gravedigger "the very day young Hamlet was born", and later (V,i, 164) "I have been sexton here, man and boy, thirty years". Which means of course that Hamlet is 30.

Hamlet tells Ophelia to get to a nunnery. However, "nunnery" not only meant convent but was also slang for whorehouse. It's a matter of interpretation every time he says it which one he means, or whether he might mean both.

Horatio is a fellow student of Hamlet's who clearly loves him. Laertes is a Dane of about Hamlet's age, although of less exalted birth. Hamlet respects him and calls him "a most noble youth", while Laertes says of Hamlet's apology to him, "I am satisfied in nature" although it is difficult to believe anything he says at this stage. Fortinbras is probably as close to a peer as Hamlet has in the play, and he says "he was likely, had he been put on, to have proved most royal". While we do not know what Fortinbras's basis was for such a statement it surely confirms that Fortinbras respected Hamlet.
