You should lie and tell her it's great, faggot

Find anything you like about it. A word. A line. A feeling.
If you can't, ask questions. Where did you get that idea? What emotion did this come from?
If you post a line or two I'll make up some bullshit you can pass along.
Ask if she wants feedback--hell, be blunt and ask her if she wants to know what you really think.
If you respect her at all, you'll be honest.
If she doesn't want to hear the truth then tell her you don't want to say anything about it.

You should first ask her how she would like you to respond. Some people don't want criticism, they just want to share their shit with people.
if she's open to feedback, then tell her the truth in a constructive way. Ditch the "12 year old wrote it" and focus on specifics:
>This specific passage right here... isn't there more to this image? Could it be spiced up a bit, maybe more detail?
Stuff like that. Encourage her to keep at it and keep improving. You might be surprised; maybe she'll graduate to 14 instead of 12.
And, in general, always find something positive like this guy says:
