Which answer best describes peer groups?

A) People you are close to
B) People who are closely related in age and share similar interests
C) Individuals who are significant in your life
D) Individuals who you get along well with

Peer groups are typically made up of individuals who are closely related in age and share similar interests. While they may also be people you are close to or significant in your life, the defining characteristic is the shared experience and commonalities among the group. Getting along well with individuals does not necessarily make them part of your peer group.
