because she was being forced to marry Paris so she faked her death, so the wedding would be cancelled. Then romeo found out from Balthazar that Juliet was dead but they both don't know that she is faking because he never got the message from friar Lawrence.
With a potion that she got from the apothecary. Too bad it worked a little too well--Romeo thought she was dead, and killed himself in grief. And then she woke up and saw him dead and killed herself for real. Whoops.
Friar Lawrence gives her a death-faking potion. He apparently brews these things himself. When we first meet him he talks about the grace that lies in plants, herbs and stones. He appears to be a sort of herbalist on the side. Kind of like Brother Cadfael, if you know him.
Juliet pretended to be dead so that she did not have to marry Count Paris and they would think that she was dead so that she could leave with Romeo to Mantua.
So that her family would believe she died, and then she intended on sneaking off with Romeo and living happily ever after.
The guy that was supposed to take a message from Friar Lawrence to Romeo explaining that Juliet wasn't dead got caught in a quarantine and was unable to deliver his message.
She told him it was either that or she'd die for real.

Fake her death
In Act 5 of Romeo and Juliet, a prominent symbol is the potion that Juliet drinks to fake her death. This potion represents her desperation and willingness to undertake extreme measures to be with Romeo. It also symbolizes the fragility of their forbidden love and the tragic consequences that stem from their inability to be together openly.
In act 5 of Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence did not consider that his plan to fake Juliet's death with a potion might not reach Romeo in time or that miscommunications could lead to tragedy.
