Crutches should not be used unless there is a specific need. Walking with crutches can cause falls, can result in pulled muscles, and can create new pain in an otherwise healthy person. Crutches shift the body's center of gravity and should not be used as a "plaything". As well, unless crutches are fitted properly for height and weight, the use of crutches can cause shoulder injuries.
Instead of wishing to be on crutches, discuss why you are feeling you want them. Do you feel people on crutches get more attention? That they get out of responsibilities or get special perks? If so, discuss with your parents or a counselor what you feel you lack as far as attention.
You might also talk to someone who has had to maneuver on crutches. It is not easy. It makes the arms, shoulders, back and the "unaffected" leg feel sore. It can create hip pain. Crutches cause inconvenience since you can't use your hands or arms to carry things. I bet people who have used crutches will tell you that they hated every minute and couldn't wait for the day they didn't have to use them anymore.
