You need to tell an actual adult - may it be the school nurse so someone with real credentials can take a look at it, if your parents aren't around. Next time you get hurt, at least look up the correct way to take care of your wounds on the internet before you put foreign objects (i.e. actual staples) into it. That is very dangerous and you could do more damage than heal it. Now go to the school nurse and tell her exactly what happened - they are prepared for these situations and will take care of you.

Very simply put, having those in your arm can cause a serious infection and that could lead to scarrign and far worse. If you are afraid to go to the doctor becasue of someone getting mad at you for it, then you need to contact a teacher or other authority. It is considered abuse to NOT give a child care!
Get to a responsable adult you can trust adn ask them for help.
