I'm kind of assuming that's me...

But anyway, OP, as many other people have said on here - you should be careful in relying on online friendships, but the same could really be said for RL friendships, too. It is absolutely possible to have real, online friendships. One of my oldest and strongest friendships is someone who I met online several years ago, though we only met in person a few months ago.

When someone is just a name on a screen, yeah, that doesn't mean they're your friend. But, when you become friends with someone who you happen to know by that name on a screen, that friendship is just as strong as any in real life. You can know someone by name and face and not know them or be friends with them.

And seriously, seriously seconding the first anon who responded to this secrets' thread about how dangerous the line of thought of people on the Internet not being real is. Don't let that attitude get to you, OP, and don't let your mom's words get to you. Yes, you should be careful when it comes to online friends because there it can be a lot harder to see when something goes wrong, but that doesn't mean you should never have an online friendship (or relationship of any kind) or that RL friendships are exclusively safe and true.
