What Is The Treatment For Badly Hurt Ankle In The Gym Class?

I am only 12 years old and I fell in gym class today. My ankle hurts really badly now and I think I need to get it checked out but, my parents won't let me. They told me to ice it and said that I will be fine. When I tried to walk on it, I was almost in tears.

To do lot of icing frequently...once in every 2 for 15 mins...
Gently knead over the leg muscles...calf and outside of ankle...
Keep your keg compressed with compression bandage...
Keep your keg elevated...
