Often,children are warned about the dangers of talking to srangers."Never talk to sranger,or take anything from one."Children are told.This id good advice when we are young and more sussceptible to the unknown dangers of the world.The sad part is that although following such advice as children may keep us safe from certain dangers ,many of us carry this sense of mistrust towards others into our adult lives.At some point,we must put at least some degree of trust in people we do not know.It is impossibe for us to live inside a bubble.After all ,even your closest friend was once a stranger to you.So what about your opinion,do you trust a stranger or carry some sense of mistrust towards strangers that you meet in your life?

Sometimes I prefer to trust strangers, because even they cheat me and I don't feel very angry. But for a child, parents should tell them that never talk to strangers. It is a terrible thing if some parents lose their children. In our country, there are some criminals who steal some children and sold to other families. They are quite bad thing for parents. But for an adult, he/she usually has a ability to know who is good and bad. If you trust a stranger who cheated you, you should trust another. Some of us often don't trust any stranger.

Hi wonderful1 ! I must say that you are an optimistic and wide person,cause on one hand you trust people in your life ,which means you trust life and always see the good nature of human beings,on the other hand you know that trust shouldn't be blindly,especially to small children.It is really disastros for parents to lose their children.So we should trait a child how to distingwish good strangers from evil strangers ,but not to forbit them talking to strangers. Anyway,children should learn to deal with strangers in their lives,and select good ones to make friends with.Thank you for responding!

in the age that we live..we can never ever trust a stranger unless we get to know about them..atleast some basic info about them with some proof..and these days even decent looking people can sometimes be bigtime freaks..

It depends on the situation , on the place , on the time. According to me now the world is not trustworthy and no one can be trusted easily. But sometimes its not so we can trust a stranger by seeing his manners his background and his habbits so we can both trust and untrust depending on the situation

People interact with strangers easily. It is their skills to communicate without having the hard time. But then, we need also to be cautious of doing so. We can never tell what runs into their mind, especially acquainted with strangers will bring wrong notions.
