i'm 16 and recently ive been getting these really sharp sore pains which really hurt at the side of my left boob and i dont know why but its like im getting jabbed with a pin or something, but it only happens on some days which is really weird? do you know whats wrong with me?
hi im nearly 16, nd hadnt had a period yet. Also one of my boobs is bigger than the other. Theyre not that big in the first place, and i just dont feel very much like a girl rite now......
i am 13 years old and i have no boobs at all, but i havent started my period either?! My friend hasnt either but everyone else has, even people in the year below. Is there something wrong? HELP ME! thanks xx
Emily, there is nothing wrong with you. I started my periods when i was 15, im 17 now. Some people dont start them until when their 16. As for your boobs, everyone develops at different rates and just because friends may have, doesnt mean you will yet. Dont worry.
its ok im 14 and havent started my period yet so dont worry theres nothing wrong with you and theres no point in getting stressed, changes will happen soon good luck x
I'm 16 and one of my breasts is a size 38D and the other is a 36C is there anything I should be worried about is this normal ? :S
hey, i've just had my 19th birthday an i feel silly coming on here but i am a bit worried about my boobs, well one of them anyway. i've always been okay with my boobs, there not big but there not small, so i've never really had a worry, but recently i've noticed that one of my boobs well the left one is extremely veiny, like its coved in long stringy veins right from the top of my chest to my nipple, i dunno if its something to worry about an no-one else seems to know. so any of you got any advice, cause my brain is frazzled :) THANKS!
i'm 15 and my boobs are now currently at a size 34 H, they keep going up all the time and they get in the way of everything, my mum has suggested i get a reduction, but i dont know any information on it, also because they have grown so fast my skin has streached alot and i have alot of excess skin i can just sort of pull on, what should i do?
If you are overweight, losing weight can reduce your breast size, since the majority of breast material is fat. A reduction might be helpful to prevent strain on your back, but it's probably not a good idea until they are fully developed.
