Question
Paranoid as I may sound, here goes... I graduated from high school about two years ago, and I wasn't treated very well then. I had trouble making friends, and the ones I did make weren't really there for me... what I want to know is, how do you tell when someone is really your friend and when they're just yanking your chain or trying to get something from you?

I had similar issues growing up but I realized I was isolating myself by being so skeptical of people who came into my life. I gradually started to let people in but very slowly. I'd hang out with people who asked to make plans and I guess feel them out. Some people turned out to be casual friends but through this experience I met a group of amazing girls who are all going to be my bridesmaids in my wedding in August.
