Get some older friends, they are fun, they have a lot of info, they are generally less scared of consequences so they let you do stupid stuff, they give you room to grow and get wiser, they generally have more money and cause better opportunities. As young person I always were around the generation of my parents and I never regret it, it provided me with the baggage to get through life without too much problems. When middle aged make younger friends to keep you young and to be able to pass on the culture to young people that want to be around older ones.

To add to that: get some younger friends as well.

As someone pointed out in this thread, the group think that forms in same-age groups can be downright dangerous.
