∙ 12y agoThe most common way to break your wrist is to fall backwards onto it. Usually it is quite painful and becomes very stiff. If it is broken it may start swelling but the determining factor is you will not be able to move it a certain way. If you think it's broken do to the hospital so they can make you a cast and start the healing process.

What can you do for entertainment with a broken wrist as a pre-teen?
See what you can learn to do with your other hand. If the broken wrist goes to your writing hand, see how good you can get writing with the other one, or otherwise developing its dexterity. (You could try bouncing and catching a ball... but be careful about your broken wrist.) If it's not your writing hand, you can still develop your dexterity farther.
