Stop being a clown and just measure it.

the USA is obviously in serious trouble if it's children cannot even measure things directly in front of them.

He's not in the U.S., so we are not alone in this problem.

I measured it from the handle bar and downwards to the stem and it was 25.
If I have to measure the handlebar itself I can't because its broken in the middle.

No offense, OP, but I think that at this point it may be better for all if you seek local help. Are there any bike kitchens or co-ops in your area? If not, you might go chat up the folks at the LBS

If you mean that you measured the diameter, then sounds like you have a 25.4 (1 inch" handlebar)

Any bets on the next post???
1. "Will someone ride my bike"
or...
2. "What size allen wrench do I need???"
Or...
3. "How do I change the handlebar???"
Or perhaps...
4. "Next...Now what...Just help me...or Clown"
While I think number three will produce the most thought provoking questions, my personal favorite is number one and number four would be expected from a teen who won't help themselves.

I think this is how bikes end up in the trash heap, and kids end up in the hospital.

I can't tell 25.4 from 31.8 from that murky pic. But it's a big enough difference that YOU should be able to measure it easily enough by putting a ruler across the broken end.
Or how about this:
Have you got a credit card? A credit card is about 54 mm wide. If your bar is less than half the width of a credit card across at the clamp, you need a 25.4. If it's more than half a credit card at the middle you need a 31.8.

I doubt the OP is serious, but just in case:
Get a small piece of cardboard, a ruler and a pencil, scissors
Draw 2 lines 26 mm apart perpendicular (right angle) to one side
Cut along the lines about 3cm, not all along, to make a U-shape
Now try to slide that U over your handlebar. If it goes, it's 25.4mm If not, it's 31.8.

You folks must have a lot of time on your hands. Either that or you have some Don Quixote blood in your veins. The OP obviously is not interested in anything but a spoon-fed solution, yet is unmotivated to provide the info necessary, and is likely to just be back after another self-created problem due to his abuse of the bike.
