My nipples stick in, not out. Is this normal?

Check these out, too...

"It’s called an inverted nipple, and it occurs in 2 percent of girls," says Dr. Kathleen Kaufman of Santa Monica, Calif. They can pop out as your breasts continue to grow. "The breasts are fully developed about four years after you start having menstrual periods," says Dr. Kaufman.

There’s no medical reason to be concerned about inverted nipples, but it can restrict you from future breastfeeding. Surgery is an option if they remain inverted, but Dr. Kaufman suggests discussing concerns with your doc.

MOD my sister is a 34 DD and my mom is a 32 A. my sister is tall and my mom is short and i am a lil bit taller than my mom, and still getting taller. does this meen i will be a lil bit chestier then my mom?

Hey girl! It might mean that, or it might not. Genetics are funny and you sometimes take after your mom exactly and sometimes you don't. The only way you will know is by giving it a few years.

Hey girl, that's normal in general. It's all apart of your growing body.

Mod!Mod!Mod! My breasts are extremely tender and I haven't started my period. White stuff is all over my underwear. Does this mean I could start my period soon? Should I carry a pad in my purse or backpack? P.S. Mom started at 11. ---Annalyseeeeee!♥

Hey girl! You could carry some around just to be on the safe side. You have some major signs you may be getting it soon but all girls are different so it's hard to tell exactly when!

MODD!
I am a 32B/C. my mom is a D and so are all the other women in my family. I am thinner than my family members. I also got my period near the end of july. Do you think my boobs wll get any biggger???

Hey babe,

Probably. A lot of girls keep growing after their periods. There's no way to tell for sure, but if your mom is bigger, you'll probably go up at least another size before you stop.

im 15 and wear a 36A. my oldest sister, whos 29, wears a 36B. my second oldest sister wears @ least a C cup. my mom is about the same size as me. do u think ill get any bigger or will i stay the same? is it also true that you stop growing whenever u get ur period? thnx!!

Hey girl, that rumor about the period def isn't true. You're going to continue growing (though at a slower rate -- no more crazy growth spurts) into your early twenties. As for your bra size? That'll grow too, but not too, too much. Give it some time, and you may be surprised. Everyone's bodies grow at their own rate, so don't sweat the numbers and just stick to being healthy. A cup or C cup you're uniquely you and wonderful the way you are!

I have noticed that my breasts have starting growing faster in that last few months, since my mom isnt on the large side will I probably end up with breasts that are about her size? And what makes guys so obsessed with them, some of my guy friends seem to look at my chest and not my face when we are talking and I am not even that big?

Your breasts will probably grow to the same size as your moms. Also, when it comes to guys they are full of hormones so they cant help themselves when they look at your chest. Don't worry about it too much because eventually they'll mature and stop rudely staring at your chest. Best, Kristen

Hey girl! This is different for everyone. You should talk to a doctor to get more info on this.

Hey girl! Everyone grows at different rates. But if you can always talk to a doctor or your parents about this kind of stuff.

Every girl develops at different times, so you just developed early. A lot of people have the same size boobs at a young age as someone older. Ashley<3
