What u do is trip over something and land on a child.... This year, I broke my ankle by heading to the computer in school and I tripped over the bookcase, and landed on my student....

Whilst it is not advised to trip over something to get a broken ankle, accidents do happen. Many broken ankles are from sporting injuries, twisted ankles and falls.

Depending on the severity of the break (compound, stress, hairline, etc.) it generally takes 3 months for bone to completely heal. The key things to improve and accelerate healing are to maintain fluid/electrolyte balance, eat a lot of protein, keep the swelling down with anti-inflammatories, and stay off of it as much as possible. Caffeine or a stimulant helps to - as a Vasodilator, it increases blood flow throughout the body, though if you're using any pain medicine it'll do the same thing.

After a short time your doctor will probably tell you to move the ankle (if it's not casted) around to keep the ankle muscles from becoming atrophied. This technique has been in use for about 20 years and works well, though if done improperly or rushed, it could lead to even worse residual pain down the road as you get older.

However, it's generally used only with less severe breaks, and when a soft-cast has been applied instead of a plaster cast. Using a soft, removable cast allows for it to be removed and the muscles used as the bone heals.
