Vocabulary
'In the company of...'?
Dear All,
I’d like to say in good English 'young people together with young people in a group, without any representative of another age group being present'.
I know there are expressions like 'in the company of their own kind' or something to the effect, but I can't recall any of them. Could you, please, help me and say what comes to your mind?
Thank you!

'in the company of their own kind'. --This sounds more like lepers or liars.
'young people among their own'.-- This sounds better but a bit stilted.
'young people on their own' -- No, this means unsupervised.
I fail to see why you cannot say simply 'a group of young people', or if you must, 'a group of young people only'.
