When I was in 6th grade (11 years old), I broke my own finger to win a $20 bet.

OUCH. How did you do it?! And what did you buy with your winnings? :p

Just thinking about that makes me cringe! I've technically never broken a bone -touch wood. I chipped a piece of my kneecap off - and fractured 4 ribs but never broken a bone!

I had never broken a bone, and when another kid came in with a cast on his arm talking about how painful it was, I laughed and told him he was being a pussy. He said something along the lines of "if you broke a bone you'd be crying like a baby". Soon after, came the bet. Lol jeez I was an idiot!
Eeesh that does sound rough :p My sister has had the worst bone break I've ever seen. She was 8 in school doing P.E, they were on balancing beams.. literally 10cm off the floor, crash mat under she fell off... Her wrist snapped in 3 places and her radius actually came out. A pretty nasty compound fracture - the doctors were amazed at it and said it was one of the worst he had come across, they were worried she'd lose the feeling.
End of the day she had an 8 hour operation and 4 plates, 28 screws later she can use the arm! Plays up a bit in winter though but its alright!

Wow, that's a lot worse than my finger! Fractures to the bones in the wrist can be very painful. After my self-inflicted stupidity, I never broke another bone again!
