A member asked:

My parents don't believe in going to the doctors for anything, even with my sprained ankle. what can i do to make sure everything is okay ?

Guidance counselor: You need to get xrays to make sure nothing is broken. Go tell a guidance counselor at school if your parents won't take you to see a doctor.
