Well... It seems to me that she's not fat, maybe just a teeny bit big for her age. I know that the right thing to do id to be honest, but be nice and gentile about the way you tell her (if you do.) Sometimes girls are really sensitive about their weight.

Good Luck!

She is too young to diet, she is still growing so she needs lots of good wholesome food. She is not too fat. As she gets older she'll thin out.

DO NOT TELL HER THAT SHE IS FAT!!! don't worry about it. it's her body not urs. the best thing for u to do if u really, really, really want to help is suggest to do something with you, like go for a walk around the mall.is she says no, then leave it at that

YOUR A TERRIBLE FRIEND!

well if she thinks she is fat, dont agree or disagree. it makes it worse

if shes a good friend dont ever tell a friend that there fat that will hurt them bad....if you were fat think about it what you would feel like..

its not really up to you to judge her. If you were her true friend you wouldn't be asking this question on yahoo. She doesn;t sound fat, and as long as shes in shape who cares is she's a little bit chubby. At least she's not 19 5'3 and 280 pounds!

She is NOT fat! Don't do anything. You need to realize that just because she isn't a anorexic 95 pounder, doesn't mean she's fat.

that's not fat. you should probably see a counselor, it sounds like you might be the one in danger.

To me it sounds like she is a healthy growing girl. If you feel that she is on the big side just simply invite her along to do some athletic activites.More than likely it would truely hurt her confidence if you told her she was fat

Start doing more physical activities with your friend. Don't tell her she's fat... just help her lose it with her not knowing... At 12 you really don't have to change your eating habbits unless all that she is eating is junk foods. You must still eat your fruits and veggies but your matabolism is running at full force as well.
So take her out and go to the park... hang out.... walk around... go bike riding... anything physical that basically involves her not knowing that she is actually working out.

It doesn't sound like she's fat. However, as her friend it may be best if you reassure her of this and tell her that even though you don't agree with her thinking she's fat that the two of you can walk, swim, do something together if she wants to. Don't be harsh, but don't blow her off about it either. She may really have a problem and this be her way of looking for someone to lean on. Be the friend that you would want her to be if the roles were reversed.

Yeah, she's fat. Sign up for swimming or something. Eat less crap. We've been over this.

Punch her mom in the face, while you're on it.
