Boobs

My breasts are growing too fast!

Check these out, too...

I’m in the ninth grade and already need a 38DD bra. Could I have Huge Boob Syndrome? My mom is a 36B, so I can’t go by her. I’m the genetic freak in my family.

We searched everywhere for info on Huge Boob Syndrome. There was nothing on the Web. And none of our experts had heard of it.

There is no such thing as Huge Boob Syndrome—and we’re guessing you already know that. You are probably healthy and normal, but you should see your pediatrician or gynecologist to make sure.

In very rare cases, too much growth hormone can make one body part grow excessively. So even though your mom is a 36B, ask for her, um, support. She can help you find the best bras—you need good ones because large breasts are linked to back problems.

Remember that all kinds of boobs are beautiful, and many not-as-chest-blessed girls envy you.

I am 13 and I'm a 35B i can't wear ANYTHING!! Everyone makes fun of my and laughs! even my best friend! ik that women pay go get these things but y r they so big, and im so YOUNG!?? help me!

I'm sorry girl. I think the best thing would just be to go and get sized. If you are wearing the right clothes you can work to not emphasize them as much. Don't worry about it too much, you are great just the way you are.

There's one girl in the grade above me who puts gel pads in her bra. All the boys are all "oh my gosh, are those real?" It's sooo annoying...

Bra sizes also have to do with your weight. My friend is like 124 pounds and she wears a size 32C.

sushigirl_5 on 3/5/2010 9:37:33 PM

Isn't it a little odd that my mom wears a size 34A, yet I'm wearing a 36A and I'm still developing at the age of 12? I probably get it from my dad's side though. My grandma and aunt both wear C sizes. However I'm very content with my body weight because it is 94.

sushigirl_5 on 3/5/2010 9:35:47 PM

No one will be happy :/
I'm 12 and currently wearing training bras. I don't need to wear them but I do anyway. 30AA is stilllllllllll to big :/

Hey blackrose800... one thing you can do to minimize the difference in size and bras from your friends, is to wear a bra with no padding, DO NOT wear a push-up, and o find the thinest bra possible. Another option would be to wear a shelf bra, which is like a training bra, but with a little bit more support, so you won't have the cups to add anything extra.

HEY GL GIRLS...

if you're reading this advice column, you probably could use some advice yourself. So visit my profile, post me a question and if its super important, put *'s at the top and I will answer your question in 24 hours. THANKS! pass it on to your friends!

Mod I was just wandering... if boob size is genetic. I mean I have seen people who's mom's are big and sisters and so are the person's. I mean my mom has big boobs but I have average ones and am still growing. So whats up with that?

Hey chicky, it all depends. Sometimes it deals with genetics other times its just what your bod is like. You're still growing so your breast may get larger. But be confident no matter how small or large your chest.

Dancing Diva on 11/17/2009 6:07:28 PM

how can u tell if u have breast cancer just wonderin.

Hey girl,

There are lots of signs, but most women discover they have breast cancer after feeling a lump in one of their breasts.

I'm in 7th grade and haven't started my period!I'm a 36a and my mom and sisters all are in the d's!What's wrong with me?Is this normal?

Hey babe, yes you're normal. Some girls just take longer to get breasts and their periods. Just wait it out for now and talk to your doc if you're worried, but I'm sure you're just fine!

***MOD***
I'm the opposite! I'm in 8th grade and haven't started growing ANY boobs yet! Is something wrong with me?? PS-I'm 5 foot, my mom got her period and boobs when she was 12, i have hair "down there" and discharge. When will i get boobs???

Hey girl! Its completely normal because everyone grows at different times, you will have your time to grow eventually.

SummerRox on 11/7/2009 1:54:13 PM

MOD I'm barely 13/7th grade and I'm already a 34C. Is this normal? I know some people with bigger boobs than me but only a few. I'm bigger than most my friends so I don't know how normal this is. Thanks!

Hey girly, everyone's bod is different so what's normal for you may be wierd for someone else. As long as you're healthy, and it sounds like you are, you have nothing to worry about. Your breasts are perfect for your shape.

CrazyXP on 11/6/2009 11:26:06 PM

MOD im the exact opposite of that!im 14 and only a 36A.my chest started hurting when i was 10 but theyve been growing very slowly.my mom had the same prob until she was 15 but she got her period when she was 14 but i got mine @ 13 and a 1/2!!!i dont want 2b as flat chested as my aunt[shes a 38A]!!!!thx!!!

Hey babe,

Women come in all shapes and sizes. You might take after your mom and you might take after your aunt. It's too early to tell, but each side has ups and downs. Whatever happens, you just have to appreciate the good parts of your body!

CountryCutie4 on 10/31/2009 4:38:11 PM

I wear a 32a and sometimes 32b and im in 7th grade. i have SO many friends with bigger boobs than mine, but i dont care. i like being diffrent but i really really hope i dont grow there soon cuz i just got these really cute bras hahaha XD

camel490 on 10/31/2009 1:37:12 AM

i 3pigs,

Some places are different, my friend went to France over the summer and she said that at almost all the beaches she went to a lot of the people went Topless and it was normal. So some places are more accepting to showing stuff like that.

She also said that a lot of the guys went totally Bottomless and didnt wear anything and people acted like seeing that was normal to. So different cultures accept different things. Could you imagine seeing that at the beaches we go to?

luckykel on 10/29/2009 10:33:40 PM

I'm pretty glad I don't have any of these problems, I love mine, they're perfect!
-H-

CountryCutie4 on 10/29/2009 7:27:32 PM

MOD ok, this may be kinda wierd, but i don't see why on tv the show every area of the boob but the nipple, and celebs wear swim suits that cover only their nip. Yea, its not like i want people walking around showing all their stuff but I thought I would ask cus i was just wonderin. thanks!

Hey babe,

I have no idea! I guess it's just the cultural idea of what's appropriate to shows body. In the Victorian era women couldn't even show their ankles, so these things are changing all the time. on a woman'

Try Jc Penny, or any local department store<3 Sherryn D.

skijumper4life on 3/17/2009 11:26:40 PM

Mod,
My sister AND mom have big boobs. Their bras are in the D's! How come I have to be blessed with the small boobs?

Hey babe, sometimes ya just can't help what your body wants to do! Maybe you're not done growing up though, some girl's breasts grow through high school and even college.

I wish I had a little bit of bigger boobs. Mine, I'm not even sure are 32As!!! I wish I had like 32B's or something.

hannah12 on 3/16/2009 11:52:13 PM

I'm 12 and i wear a 34C. I hate it!! For those girls who want bigger ones, the girls on the other side want smaller ones!

I'm in the 7th grade and I am 40B, I wonder if that's good. Should I lose weight, because I am 5 ft. 3 in. tall!?!

Hey girl, Just cause you loose weight doesn't mean your chest will become smaller. You can try to tone up though doing chest excercises, but that just might be the way you are shaped. xo Annemarie

Although aerie is kind of expensive, it's the only brand I wear. They are the mosty comfy bras I've ever worn and come in all different shapes and sizes.
