Answer 1

Well, you could always take her aside and tell her that no one believes her, but you wanted to tell her alone so that she's not embarrassed. Tell her that you don't want to hurt her feelings - that none of you do - but you all don't like being lied to. Tell her that you will forgive her and won't say anything else about it if she stops. And ask her WHY she's lying about it, because it sounds like she wants attention for some reason or she wants to be thought of as cool.  

Answer 2

Just tell her shes gonna feel stupid but its her fault for making a stupid lie.

Answer 3

That's actually kind of sad.  She's got some self-esteem issues and is wanting desperately for you and your other friends to like her and think she's cool.  Just talk to her alone and tell her you know he's fake.  Let her know she doesn't have to try so hard and that she's your friend.  

Answer 4

so she's13 and trying to feel important ,probably the kindest thing u could do is let her know u are aware of what's going on ,if u do it with sensitivity and caring ,let her know every body does unwise things sometimes ,it's no big deal ,she will probably stop before things get out of hand .

good luck.
