Yes, they do. Many Jehovah's Witnesses have close friends and associates that are not of their faith. However they likely usually find friends from those that share their value system. Jehovah's Witnesses are cautioned about the dangers of associating too closely with those that are immoral, sexually provocative or violent.
The Watchtower 2nd February 1994 comments:
''We must also be on guard against extended association with worldly people. Perhaps it is a neighbor, a school friend, a workmate, or a business associate.''
Kingdom Ministry June 1989
'' We have been counseled to be cautious in our dealings with men of the nations, unbelievers, and ordinary persons. (See the November 15, 1988, issue of The Watchtower, pages 15-16.) Why should we have unnecessary social contact with people who still pursue worldly ways and who have not become worshipers of Jehovah?''
Watchtower 15th April 1993
''Limit your association to spiritually minded Christians who really love Jehovah''
With these things in mind spiritually mature Jehovah's Witnesses try to avoid associating in any meaningful way with non Jehovah's Witnesses.

Why do people hate Jehovahs witnesses arnt they suppose to help you?
People hate the Jehovah's Witnesses because they were "destined" to, should we say. In the Bible it says that the people of the true religion would be hated and discriminated against. It's fulfilling Bible prophecy. And by the way, the New World Translation of the Bible is not altered to fit Jehovah's Witnesses' beliefs. There are many credible resources that aren't even part of their religion that studied the translation and agree that it is the most UN-ALTERED form of the original manuscripts. Hope this helps. :) Jehovahs' witnesess encourage people to study using their own bible if they are more confortable

Many would say they are. Quite a few witnesses say "They are glad they are" because before they became JWs their brain was full of dirty thoughts etc. and their brains needed washing!

So the objective answer is no they are not.

Do Jehovahs witnesses prey on troubled youth?
This is such a ridiculous question, I am not sure it deserves a response. Alll I can say is, "WHAT?" ANSWER Jehovah's Witnesses do not "prey" on anyone. The word is heavily negative and implies that Jehovah's witnesses systematically take advantage of and harm young people. This is far from the truth. Firstly, Jehovah's Witnesses to not 'target' any age group, nation or race. They preach to everyone, in every home, in every street all over the world. Secondly, their message is not harmful. They teach the bible and encourage all to put the bible into practice. So, no Jehovah's Witnesses do not "prey" on anyone.
