 It really depend sometimes you can tell when its people that lie, tell others secret and stuff all the time.
Others can just be really good at pretending they are completely trustworthy and some people are just honestly trustworthy.
But from experience I'd say when it comes to friends if you know something really important that other people shouldn't know- trust no one. It could end up in u getting hurt emotionally or even physically.

 At your age, you're going to run into a lot of people who will sell you out and lie, cheat, and steal behind your back to get what they want. It's just what happens with teenagers.
Generally, it takes some time to know if someone is worthy of your trust. Do you have a friend who has stuck by you for the past several years, never faltering in their loyalty to you? Have you done the same to others? the situation you described above might make you seem untrustworthy to others. It's in the eye of the beholder.
Don't worry so much about what other people are doing, but rather waht you are doing. If you live your life beign a good, honest, reliable person, hen others will likely treat you the same way. But also understand that young teens make a lot of mistakes. You all are still learning what it means to be honorable, and how you want to be perceived by others.
Be patient with them and give them time. Be their example to follow, maybe that's what they're lacking.
