If someone really cares for you as a friend or loved one, you know you can trust them. You know you can count on them to always be there for you and that no matter what dumb things you might do they won't stop caring about you, ever.

One of the nasty tricks these guys use is to get you to trust them and believe that they really care about you and what happens to you is to make you believe that they care more about you than anyone else.

You might not realize at first that they are tricking you for their own personal satisfactions. Don't feel bad if this happens, believe me they are masters at what they do, and there are so many people, parents, youth organizations, employers, churches and schools that they fool, you are in really good company if it happens to you.

   

It all starts out really great. They are nice to you and treat you special. They go out of their way to help your folks with transportation, they might even give you gifts and money to "help out".

They could be a really true friend, if things change though, you'll begin to see what I mean. They will begin getting you alone more, being more "touchy feely" with you. They will start trying to introduce you to x-rated movies, porn movies, magazines and pictures.

If you begin to see this kind of behavior, be very suspicious, and resist accepting it as ok. Tell someone you trust and tell them as soon as you realize there may be a problem. If its a family member, its vital to trust someone. If you are afraid to tell your parents or any other family member, tell your most trusted school teacher or counselor, or your minister.
