Hi i was playing around and i put one leg in the air and then i slipped and hit the inside of my ankle. there is bruising and verry sore ?

RICE...: Rest, ice, compression, elevation I would get it checked particularly because of the bruising, and definitely if you have difficulty bearing weight. Sounds like your fell on your ankle and may have twisted. Need to rule out a fracture. At your age, don't delay because we don't want it to get worse and compromise the joints and structures in the future for you.
