I'm 19 and my breasts are just the same- (one boob is a D, one is maybe a B cup?)-literally a mirror image with this girls, and I'm fine with them! :) Men have always been incredibly positive about my them...although it's easy to be self-conscious about things like boobs, with a well-fitted bra no one really notices! I think the emphasise on how these breasts have "ruined" this girls life is ridiculous- breasts are there to be enjoyed!
