Miley CyrusMiley Cyrus has said she finds it hard to make true friends because of her celebrity status and her family are always on the look out for people trying to take advantage of her.

The Hannah Montana star is quoted as saying recently: “I need more friends. It’s kind of like my quest right now just to have more true friends.”

“Some people think you have more privileges than other teenagers because of what you do. And that’s not it at all. It’s actually the opposite.”

She added her mum and dad keep a close eye on who she’s hanging out with: “They’re protective for sure. My mom is more strict than my dad.”

“You want to keep your closed circle of friends. And sometimes my mom is saying, ‘I have a bad vibe about this person. She needs to hang out with you when I’m around just to keep you safe.’”
