Where to draw the line when it comes to trusting online and offline friends (real life)"
All of us have online friends and off line friends. Who do you trust more? Why? how do you know how and when to trust people you never met? How much can you trust them? What are the risks of online friendships? Are off line friends always more trustworthy and reliable than online friends?
Re: Who Would You Trust More? Online Or Offline Friends?
To me, they’ve become the same now, there’s no difference between offline/online friends. There are some I regret meeting/knowing but that’s exactly the case with ppl i met at school. Sometmes wit online friends u tend to share more since theres less face to face interaction and u kinda feel closer to them..
how do u know who to trust and the risks you take, they come with all offline friendships tooo..u wudn’t trust someone u met at school and share your feelings and stuff wiht em the first meeting wud ya?
.. i wudnt say one is more reliable than the other simply because of the way I met them (online versus school) but how they act, think etc. like one of my friends (i met online) shes NEVER late when we’re sposed to hang out [which is like a never-gonna-happen thing wit desis] and I love that 
..i have friends frm school who are always late and that annoys the heck outta me.. ill c my online friends more than the ppl i go to school with.. so yeah, trust and reliability depends on factors other than the medium wich u met them.
I also feel compelled to say, i’m 21 yrs old, i been using internet for a coupla yrs now, and nothing bad has ever happened, age and xperience also plays a role in it.. I would be alot more cautious when it came to teenagers..

Re: Who Would You Trust More? Online Or Offline Friends?
i find it hard to trust...period! off or online...doesnt matter.
however im more inclined to trust the friends i see in person and talk to regulary then those that i ive nvr met.

I agree.
The more real world interaction I have with someone the more I trust them
Re: Who Would You Trust More? Online Or Offline Friends?
it varies,
i have pple i am close to that i met online and people that i am close to that i met in real life, there are no barriers as such. it is who your heart lets you trust
