But the thing is, shes lies about so much you just cant remember to tell her. She thinks her druggie brother is really cool and clever and big, but he isnt. Hes a sad act losers that just smokes dope all day, has no job, lives in a caravan in the garden, and lets his mum pay for his credit card depts. Shes such a fool. Why is she like it ?

 You say she's your friend in which case I imagine your concerned for your friend and your friendship. Some people that lie compulsively may be compensating for a difficult life or simply seeking attention. You may think that's a strange way to seek attention, but as long as she knows it bothers you the more she may continue.
Try to avoid making a big deal about the things your friend tells you. She may just slow down trying to impress you with words.

 She lies to be liked, to be noticed... simple as that! You haven't told me much about your friend but I bet if you went into more detail about her you'd be telling me she's from a broken home and has seen a lot of arguments and troubles in her time.
Next time she lies, point it out to her straight away, in fact every time she lies point it out to her. Tell her it's not cool and if she's not careful she's going to end up losing friends over it. Tell her "no one likes a liar" and that one day her lies are going to backfire on her.
