You can fix it, but it won't stay. Whenever you drive your car it will always vibrate no matter what. Eventually it will loosen any work done and break again. You're much better off getting a new one. Unless you could find a decent one from a junkyard or another owner. You could even put a mintblue kit over it.
If you want to dish out the money, here's what I would do. Remove the bumper cover and carefully fuse the torn parts back together from the back with a soldering iron. Then reinstall the bumper cover and apply some touch up paint. You will still be able to tell it was damaged, but it won't look quite as bad. Plus you won't feel as bad if another rock hits it.

IT CAN BE FIXED!!! It can be plastic welded back together, sanded down smooth and look just like a Brand New bumper. Plastic welding is simple, most important part is prep work. A plastic welding kit can be baught, which should include everything you would need. Let us know how you fix it...Later,

no, it isn't a temporary fix, I'm sorry. welding fuses material together, making it as one piece, if done by a professional automotive technician, it should be good as new. Just because I say putty filler, I don't mean fill a damn hole with bondo. The putty is only to make the finished surface smooth as glass, ready for paint, the filler never being more than a 1/20th of a centimeter thick.
It won't break off.
People who are saying this are ignorant people who think that if you have a ding in the door that you need to get a new one to replace it.
Face it, it can be fixed. My friend had a much worse damaged and it was fixed for $50, but not painted.
It should be less than $100 to fix it and then paint it.
You can also look at car-part.com maybe there is a yellow bumper somewhere close to you....
