hi im emma i have an eatin disorder but i love my dody i wight 7 stone i not that not good i try ever thin to put wight on i need help xx
Hi Emma. I think you need to ask a family member or friend for some advice about your problem. You may need to seek a counselor or why not join a self esteem group? It will get better as you get older I promise! If you love your body, then maybe it is a psychological problem. Please, don't keep it in, let someone know! It will help you tremendously!
im 16 everyone says i hav the perfect body but im soo self concius and quiet depressive over my small breasts i feel lik a boy ..! im still a virgin my friends all hav big breasts and are sexually active . do u think this is the reason my breasts are small?
Being sexually active doesn't make your breasts any larger. You are only 16 and you are still developing. Usually when girls get their periods at a very early age their breasts of course start to develop and when girls get their periods at a later age of 14 or 15 of course they are considered late bloomers so of course their breasts are smaller than that of a girl who has developed earlier. Bottom line though most guys don't care about that. Most guys are grossed out by large breasts. And the larger the breasts the more they will sag later. So be confident and be happy to have small perky breasts that will still be perky long after your friends have drooped. By the way I felt the same as you being 68 pounds in 9th grade & I was still 95 pounds long after graduating from college. I was always worried about guys making fun of my small breasts but don't worry! Like I said a real guy will like you just the way you are!
hey i'm 13 and will be 14 soon and i'm only just a 30 A and have'nt started my periods and all my frineds have bigger boobs and started there periods is this normal or should i be worried please help thanks :)
hi.. im 13.. im exactly the same.. one of my bestfriends is a c and shes not fat or nothing.. its nothing to worry about seen as were not going to be getting up to much anyway at 13.. it is normal.. i havent started.. and thats a good thing.. because you dont have stress over going swimming or anything.. just be happy with being freee from blood and stuff now.. you shouldnt be worried at all.. i felt the same.. but now i realised theres nothing to worry about.. hope this helped you:)!
Yes this completely normal. I didn't get mine until the middle of my 9th grade year when I was 14. Your just considered a late bloomer as I was and you may not get large breasts as a lot of late bloomers don't. I didn't. I was a 32 A until I had my daughter when I was 27. I went up to a 36 C and after having my son I am now a 36 B but keep in mind when you lose weight one of the first places you lose it is from your breasts. So most of the time the thinner you are the smaller your breasts will be. Oh and by the way if you are really athletic you generally don't have a period so that can put it off. My neice is 13 and plays 3 different school sports as well as 2 rec. sports and she hasn't gotten hers yet either and she has a small chest as well but she only weighs about 88 pounds so don' worry.
im 17 and i have large breasts. they are a size 38C sometimes a 38D. i have always had larger breasts than most people my age. i went straight from nothing to a size 36B/C. the thing that i am sooo self concious about it sagging. it seems that they are sagging and im quite worried as im still a young woman. im afraid that when i decide to take it to the next level and have my boyfriend see my top half naked, he will be turned off because of my breasts. i never let anyone see them because im way to self concious about them. it has had a big effect on my life and i feel like i am the only young woman out there that has this problem. i know there isnt anything i can do without surgery, but im just really embarassed about it. how can i get more self confidence about this? and is there anyone else out there that has this problem?
Hi i dont have large breasts but i understand where your coming from its a very difficult thing to deal with at such a young age my friend was the very same as you now she is 22 still has the same breats never got anything done to them she is in a very happy relationship and her boyfriend loves her for who she is so if you cant find a fella that doesnt like you for you then he doesnt deserve you so dont be worrying about what stupid boys think anyway you can do some chest excersises to tone and lift the chest to stop them from sagging just go into a fitness shop or join a gym and the sales advisor or gym instructor will help you with what your looking for so please stop worrying your still only young xx
hey i emma dont wory about your body im a 32 c i love my body but i ot an eatin disorder
hi i am 25 and i feel my breast are small and a very funny shape they have no grown or changed shape i really want to have a boob job as i find it really hard to look at my self in the mirrow it makes me upset i just dont feel like a women i am a mother and i fell like a 13 14 year old is there any advice that could help me i dont have the money to get implants but i carnt live with it o more please help me
Right im getting sooo annoyed upset and im worrying soooo much. im 16 & 34b but i think im a c cup now, im not sure. anyways, a few months back my boobs were fine, yea i had my flaws but they were fine. now im gettng stretch marks appearing from no where on them, im a size 8, not big or anything.but they are mostly noticable when I stretch the skin back at the sides of my boobs, but still noticable non the less.theres also little ones forming along the top of them and kind of just going around the whole breast to be honest.but on my right breat the stretch marks at the side are quite deep, and when i bend forward and look into a mirror, thats when i can really see the claw like stretch marks. but im really starting to panic. i just want them gone. im using cocoa butter but tbh it isnt doing anything. i hate the feeling of them. I used to be able to feel my boobs and they'd be nice and soft without feeling any scar like stretchmarks. but because im like a perfectionist with my self, i have ocd when it comes to that. its really really undescribably getting me down and i go around the house in baggy clothin all the time. sorry for going on. didnt realise how long it would take me to explain this. but is there any sort of laser treatment that could posibly be done. ive looked online and i did see that there was a lasor treatment for stretch marks just want to know. please get back to me. i dont reli feel like me anymore. x
hi try bio oil or clarins stretch mark cream they are supose to be good for stretch marks alot of pregnant women use the bio iol during thier pregnancie to stop the skin stretching and im sure its only your boobs growing you will notice when you go for you next bra fit xx
i think as your boobs have a growth spurt stretch marks will appear because you dont have lose skin before your breasts develop do you? My advice is always be measured properly for a bra so that you wear the correct size bra & if your boobs feel heavy an underwired bra will lift them & prevent red rashes underneath your breast. The best advice by far is always be measured properly.
HI im 13 and i am barley a 32 a. everybody im my year has average size breasts to me so im a little worrid as well any advice cause i dont know what to do :( XX
im 15, and im barly a 32A and everyone in my year are c's and bigger and dont worry about it becuase your only young and you will develop more honest it kinda depends on the size of your mum's like if your mum is small theres a chance you might be but thats not very reliable also depends on your figure if your really skinny then dont worry you will grow by your 15 im the one thats gota be worried :L x
I was the smallest size in my year an girls 5 year younger than me had bigger breasts but then i quickly in a few mounths I shot up to a 32 DD so don't worry they will grow big some get bigger breasts when younger some when older
Hi my advice to you is give it time your still very young i remember being your age having nothing at all now im a 36d so your boobs are still growing as you grow i tink they stop growing between 18 and 21 not to sure so you have loads of time to grow them and maybe some of the girls in your school are sporting chicken fillets in thier bras you never know lol xx
Hi, I had the same thing as you, I was never very big all the way up until about 17 and a half, all my friends had much bigger boobs and my ex boyfriend was really horrible about it, now I'm 18 and in the past 6 months i've gone up almost 3 cup sizes, you just have to wait for your growing time to come x
im 17 and im wondering if it normal to have slightly itchy nipples dry white skin on them and that spreads on the areola ... plz help if you can xx
yes im 40 and having same problem, please can you give sdvice, the itching around my nipples are getting worse though, and flaking,
i have the same problem and i suffer with psoriasis so maybe its that. try some aveeno moisturiser i find it good.. also fake tan only makes it worse so try to avoid x
I feel my breasts are too big for my frame. I am a dress size 14 and a 34J bra size. I have always been unhappy with my breasts. I was 17 size 8/10 with 32 D breasts, was told to lose weight so he could measure the reduction in my breasts. I disagreed and stayed unhappy and extremely self conscious. 2009 I requested a breast reduction via my GP. I was a Size 12/14 and a 34J he was very understanding and was happy to put me forward for the operation. My BMI was 26, I knew I needed to get my BMI down a little. This is very difficult with an Underachieve Thyroid at times. I cycle every day to and home from work. I attend Sanjro Martial Arts once a week (though not for a few months - injury) Unfortunately I needed to move to another borough and register with a new Doctor who seems to think the complete opposite to my previous Doctor. Yes my weight has increased as I have an underachieve Thyroid - but for the last 8 years it does no matter what dress size I am, my breasts never shrink! My new doctors seems to think the NHS does not carry out breast reduction surgery. He clearly was not interested in me and kept looking at his watch. Reading off the internet about thyroid problems! I went to work, cried all day, felt extremely depressed and cried when I got home! started getting scary thoughts! There are no female doctors and the other doctor is his Farther..... I can not afford the £7500.00 to go private. The emotional drain this has on my life is exhausting! I have even left a Job which I did enjoy, because of my breasts!
Hi I am 30 years old and suffered from hypothyroidism. I am 4 ft 10 inches with size 32 G's. The docotors told me I would have a hard time loosing the weight and hear take this drug. It was like life was over. I decided no on all that the doctor had to offer me. I took life into my own hands. I spent the last 10 years working on my emotional well being and no longer have a thyroid problem. I got ride of it through accupuncture. I got my hormones balanced by the accupunturist and life has been great. It has been a year since I stopped taking pig thyroid. That is what I had found that was not chemical to help my thyroid. No side affects. As for my breast I lost 25 lbs but did not loose any of my chest. I did loose some weight on my upper chest and back which makes me look smaller. Good luck and don't give up!
If I was you I would ask for an appointment with the nurse at your GP's surgery. Explain how you feel & show her a print off of this thread if you think you need to. She might be able to advise you as to what is available on the nhs & tell you which Dr to see & preferential times to see him ... perhaps a double appt will stop him looking at his watch. If you dont get any further with it all change your GP.
Hi im 14 and my nipples have just dissapeard im really concernd it has been like this for a year. Also they tend to point. They are not normal/ Any Advice????
