go to the drug store and buy a splint to put your finger in and take some advil for the pain. I have broken 3 of my fingers before if it isn't dislocated all the doctor is going to do is x-ray it splint it and charge you a huge bill.

Even a finger needs to be 'set properly' if it's broken, and the only place that can be done is in an EMERGENCY ROOM or DOCTOR'S OFFICE. If your parents won't take you then you should go to the school nurse ... but if you can't go straight to the ER, then you should 'splint' your finger (use popsicle sticks and wrap gauze around it, but not 'too tight' because your finger will swell) ... and try to keep your hand ABOVE your heart to keep the swelling down ... and to to the school nurse the first thing Monday morning.

i think you should go to the hospital, it is expensive, but in the long run it will help. because if you don't go to the hospital and your finger is broken, your finger will be permanetely damaged
also there is this incident that happend a long time ago and its true by the way
there was this girl and she feel off her top bunk and broke her arm, but her parents had no money to sent her to a hospital, sothey just wrapped her arm in clothe. Soon her arm felt really really bad and so the doctor visited her. She found out that in order to save her body, she needed to amputate her arm, because of the infection
so i think you should really go to the hospital, hope u feel better!

if its not to crooked then its probably not broken or at least not bad. if you choose to care for it yourself then..
forget the popsicle sticks, how the heck do u tape that and crap with a broken finger.
ok so get a cup of ice water stick your finger in there till numb
with your good hand cut out a piece of cardboard or something like that, for it to the shape of your finger, put some tape in it and stick your finger in there
leave in there for however long u think you need to or until you buy ur wn splint
hope this helps.
