is it normal for a 13 year old daugther to lie

My daughter has been lying telling people (her friend and teacher and parents ) that her best friend kill himself should i be worried about this

Is this the only lie she has told? Does she lie frequently? If this is the only lie that you know of that she told, I wouldn't worry. In her mind she probably has a reason. You just have to find out what it is. Tell her she knows it isn't true and she shouldn't be spreading lies. I am sure it is effecting her friend's parents. (the one she is lieing about) She may not know the damage she is doing. If she is aware, then she must have a reason, no matter how wrong it is. I think the reason must be disclosed.
