Your bones can become brittle from lack of calcium. Calcium levels become low when you don't have many dairy or calcium rich products. Coke, Fanta or any other carbonated drinks are VERY bad for calcium levels and can lower them extremely.

Because children's bones are softer and therefore will bend further before actually breakingA child suffers a greenstick fracture because young children have soft bones in which they bend and partially break. The reason why an adult wouldn't suffer a greenstick fracture is because bones in the human skeletal system become calcified (harder) and more breakable with age.When you are a child, all of the body's bones are new, so are more soft and durable. Adult's bones are old, so are more brittle and stiff.
