My friend lies a lot,(were not realy even best friends anymore because of lying) especially about this one boy, but we have proof that she was lying and she even admitted to it, but the lying gets so annoying, because thats all she does, and everyone knows she lies. or maybe shes just "acting" like shes done when she has been pretending to be friends with someone. what should i do? because this is just getting rediculouse now?

Why are you even still talking to this person?

My sister is the same way. My sister lies about the most petty and insignificant things. It gets very frustrating at times. Even when you catch her in the lie and have proof she sticks to her lie like if she tells the truth her tongue is going to fall out or something. If that is your friend, HELP HER. That's what friends do. Despite all the playing and having fun. There are times when she needs you, like now, and there will be times when you need her. Don't walk away if you really want to be friends with her, that's not what friends do. Maybe there is some deep reason why she does this, tell her to ask her parents for counceling. My sister went through depression when my parents split up, she had to deal with the fact that none of our parents wanted us. I went through it too, but everyone deals with things a little differently. Try to stay by her because everyone has their flaws and she may need you now more than ever!

Let her know how you feel and that if you can't trust her, it is impossible to have a good friendship -or a friendship at all.
Maybe she feels like she is so boring, that she needs to lie to hold your friendship and or attention.
Start by telling her what you really like about her. For example, I love the way you spend time with me, doing things we both enjoy -riding our bikes, etc. I love those cookies you always bake and -your a great listener too! But girl you lie like a rug! Seriously though, it hurts when you lie and I'm concerned that one day it will hurt too much to come back to you and continue our friendship. I would like it alot if you stopped that for the sake of our friendship.
Remember that old saying?
"If he/she will lie,
they will steal.
If they will steal,
they will kill.
Trust is an issue here.

Tell her you are tired of her lying and that you aren't going to take it anymore. Then, stop hanging out with her for a while and see what happens. If she really wants to be your friend, she will say that she's sorry, but that doesn't mean she will stop lying. Make her understand that you don't want to be her friend if she isn't going to be truthful.

If you still care for your best friend why don't talk to her and correct her on what she's doing. What are you as her best friend if you don't mind with all her wrong doing. If your sick and tired with her lies better leave her alone. She's not worthieth to be your best friend. Sooner or later you might caught into trouble because of her without your knowledge. Love yourself and do something that won't bring you harm.

It sounds like she's done it so much, she can't help it anymore. When she lies, maybe you could gently tell her that you know it isn't true, and that she's a nice person...who doesn't need to lie for people to like her. All she has to do is be herself. It isn't that you want to bust her. You just want her to recognize when she's doing it, and try to stop herself.
If that doesn't work...you can try this: Every time she lies, you make up a bigger, more unbelievable one. Make it so big that everyone KNOWS its not real, and when she says "Oh bull!" You say "I know it's bull, just like what YOU said is bull. Do you see how stupid it sounds?"

just talk to her and tell her how you feel. this sounds like it is getting out of hand. I had a friend like this and i just stopped talking to her but remained polite like saying hi when you pass in the hallway but not being "best friends" or if you still want to be friends talk to her and let her know that her lying hurts your and if she doesn't stop I'd say it's time to kick her to the curb! I hope my advice helps you!! Good luck.

Tell your friend that her lying really annoys you and if your friend doesn't stop and try to save the friendship maybe you shouldn't be friends

I would talk to her about it, maybe she just doesnt know she is doing it. . But if she does than she is not a very good friend, and you should try to find someone who wont lie to you even about stupid little things.

Just be honest with her and tell her how you feel about her lies. If she does not change, then cut her friendship. People might think you are a lier too.

Don't be BFF'S with her.When you guys first met she probably lied when she said she wanted to be friends.If you still have the guts to talk to her tell her that lieing is not the answer honesty is!
