It is quite possible that you do have a broken bone. Many fractures-in fact most- do not cause a break in the skin. Many as well will not show obvious deformity. Small cracks or fractures in the bone can cause pain, swelling, bruising, all of which you describe. the only definitive way to know is to convince your parents to take you to your doctor or local emergency room to have a xray taken. This will give you your answer unequivocally.

A fracture and a break are the same thing. Neither the nurse, you, nor your parents can tell for sure if it's broken unless it's a compound fracture (bone through the skin). You do need to see a doctor or go to the ER for an x-ray. If you tell your parents and they won't take you, please ask to talk to the school nurse or counselor about it.

DO NOT BREAK IT SO THAT UR BONE STICKS OUT, that is ridicules, it would hurt 50 times more. you should go to the doctor, however. my uncle was playing softball once and severly hurt his foot. it was dark dark blue and purple from above his toes to the upper part of his ankle and it had swollen to the size of twice his foot. he was limping and could barely walk. when he went for an x-ray, it wasn't broken, just sprained. but if you are in that much pain u should get it checked out for any other complications

Since your parents dont belive you (my parents dont belive me all the time eather, i hurt myself ALOT) anyways, ask the nurse if she or another teaher you trust could take you to the hospital. Tell who ever you talk to about it the story and see if they belive you. If that doesnt work call a trusted family member who wont do the same thing your aunt or parents did and see if they can at least take you to the hospital.
Hope you get better. :)
Hope this helps

The school nurse should call your parents herself and tell them that you will need to have an x-ray because she thinks it is possible that you may have a fracture.

Have the nurse call your parents.
