  • I was super self conscious about what size they'd be and seeing as they didn't really grow much I've always struggled with body issues and feeling feminine, even though I am kinda tomboyish and still haven't really had any issues having experiences and fun it still lingers at the back of my mind

    I've kinda gotten used to the fact that they're never going to be noticeable if I'm not wearing skin tight clothing or something, at least I can still sleep on my stomach and barely ever have to wear a bra though lols

    Also girls are a lot more forgiving and accepting of other girls boobs (whether they're big or small) probably cuz they get how it can feel if you're worried about boob related stuff

    • Cool, sounds like you girls support each other. I like that. Your still young so don't sweat it, tbh nobody cares about boob size in the end

  • I think the biggest thing is worrying if they are too small, too big, do I stand out because of them, etc. There are really many thoughts that go through a girl's mind during puberty.

    • OK interesting, makes sense tbh. I know it's a big change & there's a lot of pressure from society that romanticizes boobs

    • @l9newulf Yep! I am going to say that is probably the #1 worry for girls. Are they going to be big enough or too big or when will they start/stop developing. Trust me, there are many other worries as well.

    • Same for guys as well, I know there isn't as much but we got worries as well at that time. Thanks for the response!

  • There was a time at the end of middle school into my first year of high school that I was jealous of others that had larger boobs than me. Mine never really got big.

    But as time went on, it really stopped bothering me. Now, honestly, I don't really care.

    • Yeah honestly no one really cares about breast size. Guys grow out of the stereotype that bigger boobs=better & look at the actual person

    • Yep! Now I'm just happy to have them.

  • They increasingly annoyed me while I ran, but so did my pubic hair.
    Also, my little sister started elbow dropping in my breasts after they started growing.

    So, I was a little annoyed. I also noticed that boys in my class were staring at them, and I thought that was funny.

    Other than that, I don't really have to think about them too much. Clothes accommodate my new shapes and growth.

    • Just like the boys at school I'm guilty of that, we can't help it especially at that age. Glad they don't bother you too much

  • I didn't find it any big deal at all.

  • Well of course I was really happy and pleased to think of myself as an adolescent girl and no longer a child. It was a fun and interesting time enjoying all the changes. I never felt worried about it or insecure in any way. I was always very happy and comfortable about everything.

    • That's excellent, I'm glad you are happy with yourself

    • Well we really can’t change anything, or at least not without crazy surgery. It is best to just enjoy what we have

    • Couldn't agree more, wish more people were like you & were just happy as they are

  • I didn't like all the attention I was getting from boys at my school so that made me feel uncomfortable at times. Once I got a little older i got use to the attention

    • I'm sorry about that. I don't think anyone should be paying attention to your breasts, it's just a normal body part. I will say that in school, at that age breasts are such a mystery to guys that's why we like them. As we get older we don't really care

    • Men are crazy about boobs at any age lol

    • That's true, however our respect for the woman becomes more important than boobs. (Although boobs are an added extra 😂)
