It just made sense to lie after that. It doesn't make it right, but it made sense.

Well that does fall under the 'necessary lie' group. Although, what kind of friends would run away from someone in this situation...?
"You don't have a room?"
"That's creepy..."
"We don't hang out with creepy girls."
The things that kids can do sometimes... Hanekawa's situation is such a failure on multiple levels, including friendship and community. Nosy people are disliked, yeah but apathetic people are worse, at least in my book. This probably falls back onto differences in cultural mindset since it's very looked down upon to be nosy in this individualistic day and age. While it is true, what someone does is their own business, once their choices start affecting others, it is no longer just 'their business'.
In America, Child Services would have a GOLDEN WEEK of their own with this case... Hell, from the way they acted, Hanekawa could have moved in with someone else entirely and they would have not cared for the first week or so.
