10．Your peers are people your age or close to it．Besides（除…外） close friends，your peers include other children you know who are the same age------like people in your grade，sports team，or neighborhood．Peers may have a positive influence on each other and play an important part in each other's life．
Peers set plenty of good examples（樹立榜樣） for each other．Having peers who do well in school or do their best in a sport can influence you to work hard to realize your dream，too．Peers who are kind and friendly can influence you to be kind and friendly in yourself．Even peers you've never met can be good models．For example，watching someone as your age compete in the Olympics or give a piano concert might encourage you to go after a dream of your own．
Your peers listen and give you their opinions as you try out new ideas．They can help you make decisions，too：what courses to take，whether to get your hair cut or let it grow，or how to solve a problem．Peers often give each other good advice．Your peers will be quick to tell you when they think you're making a mistake or doing something dangerous．
Your peers might get you join in clubs，sports，or volunteer groups．Your world would be less rich without peers encouraging you to try some new food for the first time，or listen to a CD you have never heard before．
