Do.

You have multiple people as the simple subject of the sentence.

It's tougher if you swap it out for "or" though.

Do/does your teacher or friends...

In school I learned you go with whichever agrees with the first option (in this case "does" because it agrees with "teacher") but frankly that always sounded like the teacher making up an answer because she didn't know.
