Mine were a mix but mainly from home. If your only friends are from school then you've got a bit of a social problem.

Why?
I was at school for majority of the time, I had friends in my class and I always met up with them and hung out with them. Doesn't seem like a social problem too me? Quite the opposite.
Obviously when I reached college I branched out into even more people, but at school you don't think about it, you naturally hang out with people you see the most.

I just think its daft if all your friends are from the same place and in the same circle. Its better to have wider groups of friends and I don't think its very sociable to just keep with the same people all the time.
