  • I had a friend who was an A-cup at 16, convinced that was how she'd be forever. A year later, she was a D-cup. Another was probably a B-cup until she was 19 and loved it, and is a DDD now and hates them.

    You're like a baker whose cake isn't ready to come out of the oven, but still worried it won't rise. Until it's done, you can't say anything for certain.

    • Thanks for your option! That's a really good example! :)

  • Girl when I was 13 I felt the exact same way. I got my first period soon after my 11th bday and at age 13 I was also obsessed with my BWH measurement. I felt really awkward that I was developing certain features of a grown woman but I was nowhere near that. I felt like I was not an adult yet but not a child anymore.

    All I can say as someone who has been there, trust me it gets better and makes more sense as you get older. You haven't done maturing yet. At age 19 now I get plenty of compliments on my figure, sometimes I laugh when I think about how worried I was about how my body looked at that young age! If I could go back in time I would tell the 13yo me to stop worrying about my body and do my homework.

    Have patience.

    • Thanks so much :)


  • Every woman feels that way, so it's actually pretty normal what you're feeling.

    Womens bodies have been doing what's happening to you for thousands of years. Have faith, you'll get there, but you're probably still developing at your age, so it's not final yet.

    • Thanks :)

    • Worst case there's things you can wear that can disguise what you end up with, or change your outward appearance

  • At 13 you are still a young girl. By the time you are done with high school, 4 years from now, you will be 17 or 18, and a young woman. A LOT will happen in the next 4 years with your body, trust me. So, don't think you are flawed, because you are just fine and right where you should be. See you how you are in a year, and every year after that.
    You will sprout, grow, develop, and change a hundred different ways.
    Hang in there :)

    • Thanks

    • Welcome... and IF you can go back to school, look at the older girls and you will see a lot of differences.

    • :) :)

  • Believe me, you'll wish later on you still had that young petite not as curvy body. Many men love a youthful looking body as a woman ages because many women who have that full curvy body too young, often become too big later on. Give it until 19/20 yo. Even 25 to 30. I had the same situation. I could tell you how and why it all worked out later on

    • Thanks :)

    • An add on to my reply. I won't admonish a young girl of 13 asking this question. But it seems like click bait. I doubt very much a 13 yo girl is asking this question to any who are concerned that a 13 yo is on here asking this. Number one, she's anonymous. She or whomever can ask the question without worryworts getting uptight.. And why are negative responders on this subject in the first place. Was it 13 yo that interested you. Lol. To anyone who doesn't know hip to waist ratio, ,, the measurements given 30/26/33 is plenty curvy normal for age or even proportion but yet slim or petite. Except for a 30 chest, doesn't say cup size. A 33 inch hip for a 13 yo girl can be quite full. A 26 inch waist is tiny. Literally 9 inches wide by 4 inches. Do the math. Equalling a 26 inch circumference. Or square 9×2 plus 4x2. Assuming she has small breasts her chest measurement below her breasts is more like 27 inches. Depending on height, she has more of a body than adult women do based on hip to waist ratio. Petite in stature. she's actually better than normal based on overweight women. Be proud that you're not fat. An 8 yo could be larger than you.

  • Trust the process. You're still young so who knows what will happen. Your hips will most likely get larger along with your breasts. You can also do exercises for a curvier look. :)

    • Thanks for your option :)

    • Np :)

  • Not sure if this will help but whatever you have isn't your body yet. You can curse it every step of the way but it will keep stepping at its own pace all the same.

    • Thanks for your vote that's really kind 😊

  • We all feel awkward about our bodies to some degree, especially at your age.

    • Thanks for your option :) :)

  • It’s ok hon, you’re still growing. Don’t fret, just let nature finish its work :)

    • Thank you so much for your option :)

    • Anytime :) just be patient and enjoy your life

  • You're still pretty don't be hard on yourself

    • Thank you :)

    • You're welcome :)

  • Being "curvy" has nothing to do with guys finding you attractive. It's more about your personality than your looks, anyway. Let me put it this way, if you let yourself enjoy life, laugh out loud, and find yourself smiling a lot, you'll do just fine.

    • Thanks :)

  • You are still probably very pretty. You are at a volatile age when body-image is the topic. Hang in for a few more years and your breasts will likely be hanging out more.

    • Thanks for your option :)

  • I mean, you are only 13yo; your body is still developing.

    Don't compare yourself with other girls, remember no one is perfect. If you wanna do something that worth everything, focus on: your physical and mental health, focus on your studies. Also, I highly recommend to start a romantic relationship when you end highschool, why? After highschool, you will be able to be more independent, and independence (including economical independence) is a crucial part of romantic relationships.

    • Thank you :)

  • I’m sure you’re a very pretty girl. Stop worrying about yourself. You still have plenty time to develop more.

    • Thank you 😊

    • My pleasure

  • You're only 13, honey. Give it time.

    • Thanks

    • You're welcome.

  • You’re not nearly fully grown. Give yourself a break.

    • Ok :)

  • Don't worry you still have time, you won't be able to recognise yourself when you'll turn 17

    • Thanks for your option :)

    • Sure littlelady😉

  • Give yourself more time to grow. I’m sure you’re beautiful for someone your age.

    • Thank you :)

  • This is the last place you should be have such discussions. A better place would be your parents and others who love you and can better help you.

    • Ik but I was always scared so i wrote it on the internet because no one know who i am really and i felt embarrassed to talk about it with my parents or loved ones like face to face

    • I understand that, but this site won't help you. Many are the sickos and perverts who would use it to groom you into inappropriate and destructive conduct. It is much safer to discuss such sensitive issues with your folks and loved ones that to have to deal with the strangers I have described.

    • Yes you are right thanks :)

  • I'm sure you are a very beautiful girl. Everyone develops at different paces. Some develop quicker than others. Your still young. Let nature finish doing it's thing with you. I'm sure whatever happens you will always be beautiful. Just remember, you can't rush perfection

    • Thank you 😄😄

    • You're welcome sweetheart. Just be patient. You'll be just fine.

  • You might want to get yourself checked out for polycystic ovary syndrome because that can describe your early puberty very much and could cause you to be a bearded lady, but if you do become a bearded lady, let it happen because uniqueness in many ways is sought after by a certain few people, but those people will be with you for the rest of your life, and also those certain few people grow in numbers because of getting older.

    • Ok thanks for your option :)

  • So oh my, you're 13 and worried about your body image. Girl, you have a LONG way to go for your body to catch up to you! Even when you are 17 you'll see an incredible difference and say to yourself, "Damn, I AM fine!"

    • Thanks :)

  • Hey you still very young wait till you are 17 or 18 plus ig that anyone has a pretty side

    • Thanks

  • Don't worry too much about it. You are beautiful the way you are.

    • Thank you
