misunderstood by everyone around her/him
I think entourage is inappropriate when talking about young people, and it seems to me that 'peers' may be narrowing it down TOO much --- after all, isn't it often the older generation who seem to misunderstand?
I think 'everyone around' probably sums up the kind of feeling --- been there, done that!
