Hey Mod
I feel awkward asking this... I just signed up and this is my first comment. It seemed like a trustworthy sight. I've wanted to ask my mom for a bra for a few months now but I can't get anything out. Shes alone a lot but I feel really awkward. I'm afraid to because she's that "not yet" Kinda mom and I don't want to talk about it and have her say not yet because it's awkward and I always look really stupid. What do I say? I'm so confused and scared. I'm 12

Hey chica, sit down and have an honest conversation with your mom.  Tell her how you're feeling, what you want, and ask if she'll help you go bra shopping.  It shouldn't come as a huge surprise to your mom, after all, this is just part of growing up.  You can do it.  Good luck!

Hey so every time i get experience PMS my breasts hurt and know that probably because they are growing, but i have a question...what is the best thing to wear when they do hurt. Everything i wear a bra they hurt and then then at night they hurt even more. What do i do?

Hey girlie,

Maybe you could wear a sports bra or one without underwire, and you don't have to wear a bra at night if it's not comfortable! If your breasts are hurting a lot, I would talk to your mom or a doc to make sure everything's ok!

Ok I'm really scared. I'm 12 years old. I don't really have very big boobs but I measured as a 32A, so I wear a 32A. I have a little bit of pubic hair (really dark, curly, doesn't cover all over tho) I've had discharge since before I turned 11! I'm really nervous to get my period and in the last few days I've had really heavy discharge and it's felt weird down there. Not like cramps, but it just stung and felt like I needed to itch it but I didn't. It was just weird. Anyway, I've talked to my mom a lot and I know she's here for me but I'm just worried. She gave me pads to carry around so I'm prepared so that's good but I don't know. I just think it's weird that I haven't gotten my period yet because I've had discharge for so long. My mom also got her period around my age. If you could just tell me when you think I'm going to get my period that would be great. I know it's unpredictable, but if you could just give me some advice on what to do and what you think? Thanks!







Hey girl,

You are right, I can't really predict when you're going to get your period, just like you can't predict when, either. It's good to know when your mom first got hers though, because sometimes you can guess when you're will begin based on her past experience. Don't be afraid! Try to remember that every girl goes through what you're going through right at this moment. The best thing to do is be prepared (which from your ask it seems you already are) and don't stress so much! xoxo

Dear, MOD!!!
Just today I started to get itchy on my left boob and now it's night time and I have pain on my right boob its in the middle of my boob and I told my mom but she didn't really tell my anything I'm wondering what it is and what should I do !! (I'm 13 by the way )

 

Hey girl, I would talk to your mom again. And it it makes you uncomfy, I would go to the doctor just to make sure everything is okay.

Hey! the only way to really feel reassured is to talk to your doctor about all of these questions Smile To be honest, that's what we mods just have to tell you guys when you come to us with any health concerns. You may very well be fine, but since we're not doctors and we can't even see you face to face, it's not for us to tell you what's fine and what isn't. You know your body. Trust your instincts and talk to your doc!

ook so im 15 and my boobs hurt so so bad. im sexually active, ive gotten my period, its suposed to start tommorow.but i really dont think thats why they hurt so bad because ive had them hurt because of my period but not this bad. my back also hurts along with it! i take birth control everyday to keep the side affects from being so sevre. why do my boobs and back hurt so much. PLEASE HELP
~MELISSA

 

My back and boobs always hurt when I get my period and you'll find that your period will change over time. So I think you feel these pains because your period is on your way. However if your period doesn't come right away, you might want to do a pregnancy test. That's only if your period doesnt come though. So don't be worried. Good luck! xoxo kerra

I need your help! I'm 12 going into 7th grade and A LOT of my friends have already got their full blown periods! I'm just starting to bud and I'm so jealous! I know everybody says "it's the way you are" and "you can't change that" but I am VERY far behind the rest of the girls in my grade. I sometimes even cry over this, actually i cry over this subject a lot. Do you have any ideas that will make a noticeable change in my breast size? And not to be mean in any way, I really would not like an answer that in includes the words "you can't change the way you are." thank you in advance.
-malia




Hey Malia,

It's true, unfortunately - everyone's body is different and some move through puberty faster than others. We're not gonna lie for you - you can't change the way you are. You wouldn't be so sick of hearing that answer if it wasn't true. If you're worried that there's something wrong, feel free to talk to your doctor and ask him/her ALL the puberty questions you have. They've heard it all, so they are a great person to help make sure you're healthy and on the right track. But otherwise, you really have to be patient. You'll have your WHOLE LIFE to have your period, wear bras, and all that other good stuff. You're moving at your own speed, and there's nothing you can do to change that <3

Whenever I press down on my boobs where the nipple is, it feels like there is a marble or something in my boob. Is this normal??




Hey girlie,

Totally normal! Check out this article: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/05/13/Body-Advice.aspx It's always good to do your own breast exams and keep your eye out for any abnormal lumps, but the "little lumps" you feel are most likely related to glands in your breast. Nothing to worry about Smile If you have any questions or just want to be sure, don't be afraid to talk to your doc!

I had noticed a weird lump in my breast and today went to the doctor, who said it was a cyst. She said it was most likely harmless but said I should get it drained. I looked it up when i got home and some of it scared me. Like I read that even drained, they can come back alot and eventually they need to be removed. And that one woman's became cancerous. Is it true that cysts become cancerous? And that they come back alot? And if you know, does getting them drained hurt?? I'm terrified and freaking out and dont know what to do! Help/advice please!!!




Hey girlie,

It is true that SOME cysts have the possibility of becoming cancerous. But not all! There are plenty of "benign" (that means "good" and "cancer-free") cysts that aren't a big issue at all. Instead of looking everything up online and scaring yourself, try to write a list of questions and bring it to your doctor. Your doctor is there to help you and can answer everything you can think of - she's heard it all before. But if you look stuff up online, you'll only be hearing the "worst case scenario" - and that's not accurate because the people online don't know your unique situation <3

What happens to you if you get breast cancer?




Hey girlie,

To give you a really simple answer, people who have cancer (whether it is in the breast or somewhere else) have a problem with the cells in their body. The cells start to grow and develop too fast for their bodies, which makes them sick. So, they work with their doctors to get treated and get rid of the cancer. This can be done through surgery, chemotherapy, radiation. There's a lot more "science" behind it if you're really curious so, if you have any other questions about what cancer is, symptoms and treatment, don't be afraid to talk to your doctor. It can really help to get all the facts! <3

I got bit by a spider on both of my boobs. I'm pretty sure it was a spider (I was sleeping, so I wouldn't know).I woke up and my boobs were itchy, then I found two tiny little holes next to each other on both. It's been a couple of days and now I'm starting to get bumps around both of my boobs. Should I see a doctor. If not how should I treat this?




Hey girl!

I would recommend seeing a doctor. It definitely could be spider bites, but you should see a doctor so you can be sure. Plus, they can tell you the best way to treat it.

Hi im almost 16 and well, my boobs arent ALL the way "matured" yet. One looks really formed while the other is a lot smaller and not as formed. Im not worried about that (should I?) but I am quesioning that both have like a hardish mass in the middle of them and is that a developmental thing? Im not too worried but I dont really know what they are, and I havnt asked mom yet and the internet is no help at ALL. Could you try to help explain? Thanks!!

 

Hey! No I wouldn't worry about one being slightly more developed than the other, that can definitely happen. I can't really give good advice for the second issue though; they tell us to avoid giving any medical advice since we aren't trained, and also don't know your history. Yeah what you're doing sounds fine, no need to panic, just maybe ask your mom about it, or your doctor at your next physical? Sorry i couldn't be more helpful!

Dear mod ?
I have justice under wear and sometimes they have like blue lines where my parts go and kinda makes me wonder what it means and how do u kno what is an isn't discharge?




Hey babe,

It's probably just the underwear - does the pattern or coloring of the underwear have blue? It might just have gotten a little messed up in the wash or something and have stained. You'll know if it's discharge if it's wet, or if you see it on your toilet paper when you go to the bathroom. If it's dry and a set in stain, it's probably just from the undies.

Hey girlie,

Take a dose of Tylenol or Advil! I know it sounds simple, but it'll really help get rid of that soreness Smile And sometimes a hot water bottle (or one of those little bean bags that you heat up) will soothe the pain too!

Hey girlie,

It's totally normal! Everyone's body matures differently during puberty so you can't compare yourself to your friends' bods - it's normal for you! Even if you feel like you're growing super fast and aren't slowing down, it's actually totally natural Smile

So about two months ago I needed a some new bras, so my mom got me two sports bras. that's fine when I'm out horseback riding, but for school and summer, the straps show from my clothes and I can't wear them with most of my tops. I really want some cup bras, but I'm scared to ask my mom for them. What should I do? Thanks so much!

 

Hey girl!

You might be scared at first, but remember...your mom was in this exact same position once. Tell her that you can't wear sports bras with your cute tops, and you want to know if she'd take you to get some cuter, normal bras. I'm sure she'll be happy to help you out.

Almost all my shirts require me to wear a white tank top under them. Mine are the ones from Aeropostale with the built in bra, but that doesn't offer me enough support, it is more like a training bra. If I wear a real bra you can see the straps. Now I don't wear most of my shirts because of this! What should I do? Thanks(:




Hey girlie,

Definitely keep wearing those white tank tops, but try going for a bra with detachable straps! I got mine from Forever 21 - they come in all sizes/colors and have detachable straps so you can go strapless, wear them in a criss-cross, only use one side, etc. They're really affordable (like $10!) and I think they'll help ya be prepared for any shirt situation you've got Smile

Hey girl, Discharge is something your doctor definitely needs to hear about.  Your mom might be stressed, but your health matters to her.  Have her make an appointment, it might be nothing or something small, but it should still be checked out by a professional.  Don't worry about your boobs being different sizes, though, thats a pretty common thing, lots of girls have the same thing!  xoox

Im 11 years old and i wear a size 32D in bras . It feels so uncomfortable to have boobs this big because of my age and because it sometimes attracts the wrong attention. I was wondering if you have any exercises that would help me burn off alot of fat and maybe they would shrink a little ? If not thats fine i just need something that will help me grow into my body . Also , most of my friends are very skinny i feel left out when their in their bikinis because im thicker then they are . My mom dosent allow me to wear shorts above the knees because of my booty . I feel like shes calling me fat when she says that even though i know its not true . I just feel insecure around my riends because i want a body like theirs . Any Advice or workouts ?




Hey girlie,

Unfortunately, unless you lost a HUGE amount of weight there's no guarantee you'll lose any fat from your chest area. The best way to feel better about yourself is to eat right, do something physical that gets you feeling fit (love dance, basketball, softball, jogging, biking, swimming? Whatever it is, it can help release endorphins and make you feel awesome!), and focus on the hobbies/passions that are the strongest for you. Doing what you love and realizing that you're good at a lot of things does wonders for your self-esteem! It makes you realize it's not just about our bodies - it's about what we set our minds to, what we can achieve, and how great we really are Smile And don't forget to check out this article, which can really help ya think about this sitch in the best and healthiest way <3 http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/04/06/Stressed-by-my-big-chest.aspx

I have a weird question... do I have to wear a bra under a cami? I've heard people say something about camis having "hidden support", so does that just mean the ones with the little elastic band in them? I'm a bit confused.




Hey girlie,

Not a weird question at all! It depends on your chest and the shirt. Some shirts are "bra tops" (where they'll have that elastic band or maybe even cups for support) and you should be just fine without a bra, but sometimes you'll need one because the elastic band isn't enough. The best thing to do is try on the cami before you buy it! That way, you can tell what type of coverage it offers and if you'll need a bra to go with it Smile

Hey girl, what was her response when you first asked? If she just didn't answer, then you definitely wanna ask in person so that she can't ignore the question. And if you're really worried and feeling uncomfortable about not having a bra, just tell her that.

Hey there, chica! If ya think you're ready to start wearing bras, that's fine. There's no specific time when you have to get them. You probably wanna start off with a training bra, just to get used to how they feel. And if you're stressin' about telling your mom, don't worry - that's why she's there. It may be a little awkward to start off the convo, but the best way is just to talk to her whenever you two have a minute alone. Tell her that you think you're ready to start wearing bras, and ask her if she'd like to take you shopping. Be to-the-point and honest, and you should have no problems.

Hey! the only way to really feel reassured is to talk to your doctor about all of these questions Smile To be honest, that's what we mods just have to tell you guys when you come to us with any health concerns. You may very well be fine, but since we're not doctors and we can't even see you face to face, it's not for us to tell you what's fine and what isn't. You know your body.

Hey girlie,

Every girl develops at a different speed! You should absolutely be a 36C bra size, if that's what you are right now. Your bod is going at its own speed and developing just fine Smile Plus, in a year or two, the girls are going to be so jealous of the fact that you have boobs - you'll probably get the attention of guys, and they'll wish they developed earlier too. Hang in there! As for your weight, the only person qualified to tell you if you're a normal weight is your doctor. If you have questions or concerns, talk to your doctor and he/she can tell you if you're in the healthy range! <3

Hey girlie,

It's totally ok if you're not crushing on someone right now! Don't lie and say you like someone just to be part of the convo - just shrug and say I don't like anyone right now. If there's no one who seems attractive/interesting in your class, of course you're not gonna develop a crush! Don't force it Smile When you go to middle/high school, you'll have a lot more options and your taste in guys will probably change - so you'll find one soon enough. And remember, you can totally have a crush without wanting a boyfriend! You can like a guy without actually dating him - it's not a commitment just to have a crush Smile But don't pressure yourself into finding a crush if one hasn't popped up naturally! Everyone has their own taste in guys, and everyone has their own "timeline" when they develop crushes. If you're not into that just yet, it's no big deal!

I know what bra size I am, and sometimes I feel like I'm a lot larger than my friends, which I don't have a problem with ~ they wear bras too and everything, of course, but is there an average cup size for any age? For example, if I'm 12 (which I am), is there an average age, like most 12-year-olds have a 38B? Or is it totally randomized?

Hey girl,

The size of your bra depends more on heredity and body shape than on your age, so embrace your body and encourage your friends to do the same! People are different for a reason, and all sizes are beautiful.

MOD MOD MOD!! Ok so pretty much all of my friends are younger than me, but all of them have a bigger chest! 2 of them have already had their period and they're only 11 and 12. I flat. F-L-A-T! FLAT! I've looked online to see what makes your breasts grow faster. It said to try milk and the last week I have been drinking tall glasses of milk. Will anything else help me and make me chest grow faster? Thank you so much!



Hey girlie,

Honestly, most of those are myths.  There is no real way to make your breasts grow more quickly.  Believe me, I've tried too.  The reason they are more chest-endowed than you are is likely genetics.

Also, keep in mind that you're nowhere near fully grown.  Just because they haven't popped up yet doesn't mean you're doomed to be flat.  Most girls aren't completely filled out (hips, butt, and chest) until their early twenties.  I'm 18 and I'm still growing!

Your body has its timeline as to when it's ready to do what, just let it happen.  Otherwise, make sure you're getting all of the nutrients your body needs to grow (aka. try a daily multivitamin or make sure you're eating healthily) Jordan S.

If you feel like you're ready to start wear bras...just try them out! I wore my first ones in 4th grade when I was 10 and I felt ready. I did try to wear some the year before but they were uncomfortable. If they fit, and you feel ready, go ahead! Smile Do NOT wear bras just because other girls are. I am 12 now and would do ANYTHING to go back to not wearing bras...enjoy life without them while you can! Good luck gurls!! Smile

I am 11 and in the 5th grade.In class we are doing the reproductive health unit, and there's this question box where you can write down qestions and the teacher
( Thankfully it's a woman) answers the questions out loud. My teacher was answering a question about shaving, like when you should start or when the average age is. She said in, like 6th or 7th grade. I'm only in the fifth grade and has almost asked my mom, like, 2222222 times.Should I start shaving??? If so what are some good razors and shaving gel??? I'm so desperate I had a dream about it. HOW CAN I ACTUALLY ASK MY MOM!!! HELP!!!

 

hey! Just casually ask your mom if it's ok if you start shaving, if she says no, it's only a year. I like venus razors and shave cream Smile

I almost asked my mom for a bra and it turned out I... I think....I .....need....need .......to go to the bathroom. It's not that I'm afraid to ask her but I'm afraid of what my dad will think. He jokes around about stuff like boys and little things and now this? What should I do?




Hey girlie,

Try to catch mom when she's got a free minute and is alone! That way, if Dad finds out, it's from Mom... and you can tell her ahead of time that teasing about boys is one thing, but teasing about bras would really make you uncomfy. That way, she can handle things with Dad and make sure she's got your back Smile But you gotta be honest and spit out those words! Just go up to her casually and go, "Hey Mom? I think I might be more comfortable if I got some kind of bra." A long time ago, she got her first bra too - she's been there, girl! <3 And she'll be really happy you came to her and trusted her to be a part of this with you Smile

Hey Girlies!!!
I am not trying to '' police'' you, but several girls have commented on articles like this one, young girls - one said she was even seven, and felt uncomfortable that everybody uses the word '' boobs'' like it's a common used word - like internet. Example '' I love my boobs!!! My boobs are so big and are the greatest boobs in the world!!!'' I was wondering if you could use the word '' breasts'' or else I will have no choice but to report your comment. Have you noticed that in articles in this the writers aren't just like '' Love your boobs!!! Your boobs are the best things in the world!!! Boobs are your best feature!!!

~ Peetoes7,
Hey Girly!!! You should probably not sleep with a bra on ; your precious breasts do need '' to breath'' and it is not healthy for your breasts. If you feel weird without a bra on when you're sleeping ; you can always try a cami with a built in bra. Many places have cami's - Justice, Target, Aeropostale, Hollister, and many other stores.

For the longest time I had always been the smallest when I was around friends and now I am not the smallest, so I am so happy. Also I recently found out that a few of my friends were very padded so when we were in the locker room I noticed my breasts were bigger when we werent wearing our bras I was kind of surprised.
I did feel weird because I was kind of comparing myself to them. I know guys compare their 'down there' areas when they are in the locker rooms, so I kind of thought strange when I was comparing my chest with my friends, but now I feel kind of better.

Dear people that want to start wearing bras,
I had that exact same situation! It sounds really awkward, and, honestly, it is. The way I got to start wearing bras is: One day we were both at target. I was looking at clothes, and when we got through the bra section I pointed out a sale, and how I looked kind of silly without one. It sounds super awkward, but when the time comes it isn't NEARLY as awkward as it sounds. You could just point out something small like that. Or I got to get some sports bras too because I said that I needed some for sports. Just try it! You never know!

I recently had a minor breakout and I can't cover it up! My face looks weird with concealer, and I have a REALLY greasy face and hair. I already clean my face everyday. Do you know any DIY coverups or good makeup concealers with out concealer itself?




Hey girlie,

For concealer, I actually use Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse foundation! I take a bit on my finger and dab around the breakout, then use a clean finger to smooth it in. On top, I use liquid foundation, followed by a powder. It sounds like a lot, but I put on really thin layers and it covers a lot! If you want to try this, you could totally leave off the foundation and powder - just smooth the mousse foundation onto the breakout and smooth in with a makeup sponge. You could try mineral makeup, which is a super light makeup powder that covers REALLY well! It also helps cut down on oily-looking skin and evens skin tone Smile It's also important to match your skin tone with your concealer and to NOT use too much!

Sorry if this posted twice, it doesn't say so on my computer sooo yeah.
Okay, I want to start wearing a bra, but I don't know how to ask my mom in a non awkward way! Any tips?



Hey gigglez77, don’t feel awkward talking to your mom about buying a bra. She has already gone through what your body is experiencing now, so she will have the best advice for you. If you’re nervous about asking her to take you shopping face to face, send her a text or write her a little note. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Okay, so I am almost 14 but I don't wear a bra yet, but I would say I am probably a size C already! I want to ask my mom if I can wear bras, but it sounds SUPER awkward. How can I ask if I can get some in a way that isn't embarresing? Thanks!

Hi I just started my period and I need to tell my mom but what EXACTLY should I say?

Hey girl,

You don't have to worry too much about what you say, as long as you get the point across! Just tell your mom you have your period and need to buy pads. She's been there, so she'll understand!

Hey girl,

Unfortunately, every girl wears bras! Don't be embarrassed to ask your mom, she's a girl, too, so she knew this would come eventually! She'll be happy you were able to talk to her, and would love to help you find a great one Smile

Hi!Well,I rub lemon juice on my skin every day to remove tan and I've been doing this for 2 weeks now.But now my lips have turned a very very VERY pale pink!What should I do to get them back to pink?THANKS A LOT!

 

 

hey! I'm not sure, but I think you should stop using the lemon juice right away if it's having this effect on your skin. Talk to a doctor about what you should do next. good luck!
