And what about, you say, you’ve talked about your friends. Are these friends you live with or are these friends from outside where you live?
 
Friends I mentioned earlier are the ones I live with. I have other friends who I’ve known for longer who don’t live with me. 
 
Do you see them often?
 
Sometimes. 
 
Are these friends from school?
 
Some of them are friends from school. Some of them are friends from college. A lot of them are friends who did not go to the same school as me and are friends of my parent… their parents are friends with my parents.
 
And what sort of things do you like doing with your friends?
 
Playing games, watching telly, ordering takeaway and anything else I cannot think of off the top of my head.
