Our teacher gave my friend and me some advice. (I think 'me' should be placed after 'my friend'.)

Yes, that's right. But I have never been able to learn if it's just a matter of courtesy or if it's the only correct placement of "me" in a sentence like that.

I think it is courtesy, not a grammar rule.
