What exactly does breaking/injuring your tailbone mean?!
Question: I mean, it's your butt, right? The end of your spine or something? And how long does it take to heal, and what can you do to make it feel better? A boy in my class fell flat on his butt today and apparently he injured his tailbone... but I was just wondering about that, because he couldn't sit down for the rest of class...

Yes, the tip of your spinal column is referred to as the tailbone. It is also known as the coccyx, and is composed of 4 fused vertebrae. It can be very painful. To make it feel better he'll probably want to rest and ice it. It can be hard to sit on an injured tailbone so he might want to bring an air pad or doughnut shaped pillow to sit on.
The time it will take him to recover depends on what kind of injury it is, his health, and how well he takes care of it.
yes do what Lauren said it is a great answer
