Trust issues with new friends

[skulldead]

Okay I just need some advice because for the past few months I've been hanging out with some new friends at school, but i finding hard to actually treat them and call them friends even though they do it to me. The problem is for most of my middle school and freshman years all my "friends" usually stopped talking to me, ignored me, and some even started just to bully me to fit in with their other friends. This also happened with any other "friends" i made. Even my "best friend" did that my freshman year. So i just wanted to know if i should trust them because i guess I am scared it going to happen all over again.

You are always going to loose friends, and loose people you love - but thats life. If you shut down and never trust anyone - then you wont go far and you will destroy alot of opportunities that you could have. You need to be able to trust everyone - and those who destroy your trust then you simply don't trust them anymore. Always give someone a fair chances to enter into your life - or you will miss alot of opportunities to have really good friends and even life long friends. There are always going to be bad people who don't care how you feel and don't care how they treat you - but also understand that there ARE people who care and will treat you with respect. Trusting people, like most things in life, is a trial and error process.
