My girls S13 won't start. When you turn the key it just makes a single clicking noise but nothing else happens. I checked the battery and it is okay. Can it be the starter?

Thanks, any help will be greatly appreciated.

check your connections first. Try and jump it regardless of if you think your battery is ok.
Ten hit on the starter if it still doesnt start. if it starts, after that, its your solenoid

sounds like battery terminals. but yeah, if not, like the guy above said...have somebody hold the key in the start position and literally hit the starter solenoid with the business end of a long pry bar...or something comparable.
