I was 11. I was in a baseball game getting ready to bat, I saw who was pitcher it was a kid in my class! He was the kid that kept hurting people in the game! I was'nt nervous, But i had a strange feeling that something was going to happen. Well, I was up to bat, he through the ball, and it was heading staight for my face! I put my right hand in front of my face and WHACK!! It hit my hand. And... I broke my thumb, but I did'nt know it, 2 days after was another game I had to go to, I went with my Boyfriend who was on my team and when we got there I could not throw, pitch, I could barely catch! so me and my b-friend went to the coach and told him, My thumb was all bruised up and sore, He told me to sit out the game, so i did. The same day I got my dad to take me to the clinic. They gave me an x ray and told me I broke the joint part in my thumb. I had to wear a cast and right with my left hand with a hell of a time. The worst part is I had to sit out the whole baseball season! I still got to go to the games and practices and stuff like, I just could not play! Jacob, the kid that did this to me is still saying sorry!!!

When I was six, a wall fell on my hand, and it messed up my wrist. I had to treat it like it was broken, but I don't think it actually was. I can't remember. Anyway, that's the closest I ever came to breaking a bone.

I broke my left arm when I was five and just about to learn writing. I was a lefty and had to switch to right because of that. The good thing about this accident is that I became ambidextrous.

I was 19 or 20. It was raining and I was at a carnival on that ride that is a big boat that rocks back and forth (I hate that ride anyway) and the non-skid things were worn off on the exit ramp and I fell and broke my ankle. A piece broke out of the ball part on the bottom of the bone, and the little bone that is on the side in my leg broke off and was just kinda hanging there. Had to have a couple surgeries to fix it all.

The only bones I've ever broken are the smallest toes on both my feet. I believe they broke for the first time when I was... ten or so.

13. I was devastated because me and my best friend had this thing where we had determined never to break a bone, even though we were always doing crazy things.

I was 13, broke my leg and I was in Russia as an exchange student! And the healthcare there isnt the best, I dont want to say anything bad but it was very primative. At least it was in the early 90's. The xray machine looked like it was from the 30's and the hospital was in shambles. They put plaster on my leg as a cast which kept flaking off everywhere.
I was on an overnight train about 2 weeks after this and someone stole my crutches :( Which are very hard to come by in Russia apparently. So I had to walk around on the ankle/leg for 3 weeks until I got home to the states for some real medical care! I was crying when I limped off the plane, so happy to be home!!!!
It never healed up right, even after months of physical therapy. It still hurts me sometimes LOL.

When I was 14 I was running cross country and in the second race I got a stress fracture in my fibula. It didn't have to be casted though because it's not the weight bearing bone. I just had to wear a boot for 5 weeks.
