Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question and welcome to EmpowHer. If I can only think of the millions of reasons why I played sick growing up.......daydreaming. I am not sure we can diagnose a reason why she would do this but before jumping to a mental illness...lets think of many good reasons.
Does she want to go to school?
Is there a reason her voice doesn't "work"?
Is she getting bullied possibly at school?
Is she trying to get out of doing something? Ex. attending church?
Before being too concerned, I would talk to her to see if there is something possibly bothering her that is causing the lie. If I think back, there was always a reason I played sick....can there possibly be a reason she is?
