There are two differing cases. l. kids might fake an illness to get out school, which is a form of truancy. They may well fear for their lives- kids going about with assault rifles and similar weapons. The other is more serious. Kids do get caught up in family arguments and might here remarks like ( you know I wish we didn"t have that Bobby,. he"s such as bad kid, pest, etc) Some kids will even feint ( not the right word, but well, attempt) suicide attempts in a desperate bid to get attention. I knew of an accident when three kids were playilng ( Explorer) back in the mid-sixties, we were walking along a narrow walkway around the buildings where I still live ( they have since put up a fence) I got across clear ( we were all walking with arms straight out- lilke acrobats) a girl who was my friend got over the gap okay- then this guy they called (Gobby) started making weird noises , lost his footing ( or jumped) and fell 20 feet. He survived, but required major surgery. needless to say, nobody played Explorer any more! I heard that (Gobby) came from a divorced family or (Broken Home) almost certainly, he did this deliberately. The stunt could have easily killed him.

How do you get an ex back after faking an illness?

To fake an illness to get the attention of anyone is a terrible and hurtful thing to do. The saying 'Peter cried wolf one too many times' means that when you really are sick no one will believe you. You have lied to your ex and caused him heartache. It would be wise to see a psychologist (many people do) to find out why you feel you need to fake an illness to keep a boyfriend. You have broken that bond of trust with your ex boyfriend and by getting help for faking this illness (it is not normal to do so) then perhaps you can meet with him and let him know you are getting help and hope he believes you and you had better be honest about getting the help.
