My friend is a compulsive liar
i’m 14 and have 3 bet freinds and wen i’m talking with them ,1 of my freinds
says really randon things. eg. my cousin got stabbed,my sister fell down the
stairs, my granny had a stroke, my other cousin won the lottory, i was stuck in
a lift with a woman in labour,my brother tried to kill himself with his school
tie and my dad had a tumour died in the operation, came back 2 life, and went
home the next day.
its really weird and always out of context. Me and my othr freinds think she’s lying, so we asked her brother. He had never herd about the lottory thing, bt she came then and told him to shut up and told us he was lying. today, 2 months after she sed it, she told us it was a joke.
So wot else has she been lying about? We keep on asking her and she just avoids the question but hangs around with us like normal. 1 of my freinds isnt talking 2
her and its really awkward. Im cought in the middle. I dont want 2 leave her
inacse she’s not lying and all these bad things did happen 2 her but i dont want
2 hang around with a lyer, shes really sad and i’m confused. nothings the same
anymore. I’m in all her classes and she still hangs around with us. she’s not
getting it and wont give us a clear answer.

Listen bab, if she lied about suicide, then I doubt it very much any of that crap is true. I suggest u talk to her on your own n tell her that if she doesn’t tell u the truth, then u will not bee hanging around with her any more. I couldn’t hang around with someone like that, they are the ones that could get u into serious trouble. Try asking her brother again, when she’s not around.

hi, you know some girls around this age are proned to lying and I know it can be annoying, Some lie about events at home and others say things like ” Oh I have a 33 year old boyfriend” which is un true.
If she is always saying things that sound off just ask her then and there, I dont know if that sounds right, is it true” If she shruggs her shoulders and changes the subject it is most likely a lie. The only thing you can really do is ask her to be straight or your friendship will end up finishing through lies.
sorry i can not help more!! Anna

It sounds as if your friend is attention seeking to the extreme. Maybe she’s telling you all these stories becuse she likes all the attention you and your friends give her as a result. It sounds like she may have some underlying issues? Maybe she doesn’t get enough attention at home but still it’s not fair for you to bare the brunt of it. I’m guessing that you care alot for your friend other wise you would of stopped your friendship with her by now so maybe you could sit her down somewhere quiet and tell her that you know she has been making up stories and use her brother as proof. Ask her why she feels the need to do this. If somethings troubelling her maybe she should go and see the school counsellor? If she continues to tell you more lies acknowledge it but try not to give her the attention that she craves.

To be honest i think everyone probably knows a liar but the things you are telling us are quite disturbing and it is quite sick to lie about very serious things that happen in everyday life and frankly tear family’s apart. Maybe she is lying because she isnt happy with her own life. And most likley is looking for attention, because like many children now is often home alone; lest to defend for themselves or in other words isnt getting the right amount of attention at home, maybe you should speek to her about this, if she doesnt quit the lying now it might wreck the future ahead of her.
