i've never faked an injury... i always WANT to do gymnastics so i'd never fake an injury to get out of doing a skill or conditioning or anything. i've seen girls try to get out of conditioning/certain skills by asking to go to the bathroom when the coach announces what theyre going to be doing, but the kids doing this are young... like 6 years old - not that that makes it okay, but its something that i'm sure they'll grow out of once they get a little older.
as far as hiding injuries goes, i tried to once, but i ended up telling my coaches after a couple weeks. i thought that if i gave it some time that it'd just go away, but it didnt and it ended up getting worse. i later found out that had i took a little time off from gym right away i could have prevented it from getting so bad. and it still hurts sometimes now, so i regret hiding it.
