As a child I earlier had many times pretended as if I had stomach pain,I have headache so many times ,so that I don't have to attend the school,when I knew that something was going to happen in class,like oral test or class test or if when I was not able to complete my homework.I personally think most of us must have pretended atleast one time.Isn't it?

I think I don't know a single person who has never lied about being sick to skip work or class.
I have done so to skip my work a few times. For example in my birthday, as everyone should enjoy that day instead of being somewhere where you can't enjoy at all.

I don't know a single person who hasn't lied to skip work or school, but I want to believe there's someone out there who has really not done so

Yes, I did that when I was young. And I was also very afraid it might come true.

Hahaha. . Yes, I must admit when I was really little I would do that, too. My brother was in high school and I was in middle school. If he stayed home (usually he lied to them about being sick), I told them 'it's not fair that he gets to stay home and I don't', so they let me stay home, too. 
When I got older my parents knew if I was lying or really sick. They would let me stay home if I asked, too. I don't think I missed a whole lot of school, but it was nice staying home once in a while.

Same here. I use to pretend I was sick too just to get out of going to school. Sometimes, I would just overdramatize my sickness so that I could stay at home. I would make it a bigger deal than it really was when I could've actually attended class. I didn't really miss class to skip out on tests. Sometimes I did though, but not most of the time. Most of the time was because I didn't feel like going or because I didn't finish my work or there was some project or something due.
