True or false: Your boobs don't even out til you're 18


 

Check these out, too...

  • Fact or fiction: Wearing a bra stops your breasts from growing
  • Boob hair: Normal or not?
  • Could I have Huge Boob Syndrome?
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • Do these blue veins on my boobs mean I'm sick or something?
I’m 10 years old and just beginning to enter puberty. One of my boobs is bigger than the other one, and I heard they don't even out ‘til you're 18. What should I do?!


You might wanna check your sources, babe, ‘cause this “fact” is major fiction! While the size of your breasts may change over the course of your life, depending upon your maturity, hormone levels, health and other factors, the truth is that you might always have one breast that’s larger than the other. That being said, they could totally even out by the time you're 12.


There’s no telling what your boobs will look like in two months, much less eight years. Chatting up your mom, sisters, female cousins and aunts might give you some insight into your family’s growth patterns, but the fam can’t tell ya what you’ll definitely look like in the future.


For now, it’s time to learn to love what ya have and stop stressing about what you can’t control. If the difference in sizes is, well, a full bra size, then size-up to fit the bigger breast. And remember: No one is gonna notice except for you, so relax!

I am only 10 but my boobs just started growing I talked to my mom but I didn't want to ask her this if ur boobs are itchy and they hurt when I touch them a d the nipple area is hard with a little hair on nipple is that normal!




Hey girl,

Totally normal! Your boobs can absolutely get sore or tender sometimes, usually just before your period. Hairs around the area are normal as well, and can be removed if they really bother you. As for itchy boobs, try to wear cotton shirts and moisturize your chest skin to avoid itchiness. And take off your bra when you get home so they get some time to breathe! Smile

~MOD!!!~
When I was tenn... My boobs were as big as my big sis's own! I grow so fast! I even started menstruating eaarly! Is that going to affect me in any way when I grow older? I am sixteen now... Nothing is going to wrong except the fact that my boobs are big! Thanks!




Hey girlie,

No worries. Sometimes it seems like our growth spurts will never stop and we'll just keep growing and growing, outta control! But the tween/teenage years are just the prime time for our growth, both height-wise and developmentally (including stuff like your boobs and maturity). By the time most girls are 21, or even 18 years old in some cases, they've stopped growing. So just hang in there for now - and if you ever have questions/concerns about this kind of thing, you can talk to your doc to reassure you <3

How do u tell when to switch to a cup bra instead of training bras? And will other people notice? Thanks! :>




Hey girl,

It really just depends on when you decide you want to switch. If you feel like the training bras aren't giving you as much support as you want, then it's probably time to switch out of them.  And most likely, people won't notice unless you start wearing a padded bra, but even then it probably won't be too noticeable! x0x0

MODMODMOD so my right boob fills up a 34B, but my left boob doesn,t, so should i stick with a 34B or go down a size for my left boob?




Hey babe! I always think it's more comfortable to go up a size, so I would stick with the 34B. But it's whatever make you comfy. xoxo

Hey girlie,

When we're close to our periods (or even some random times too), our boobs and nipples can get to be pretty sore. Read this article on how to soothe them - and remember, you're totally normal! Smile

When im at school im usually fine but im always exhausted when i get home and after naps i get really sluggish almost even more tired and very cranky what should i do? i eat healthy for breakfast and lunch.




Hey girlie--it sounds like you need to recharge your body, which means sleeping until you are ready to get up and avoiding naps.

so i just started using tampons, and i'm getting pretty good at it even though i'm new. the only problem is that when i pull it out, it is all clumped up and i have to yank or else it won't come out, and then "down there" hurts for a couple minutes. what should i do??




Hey girlie--it sounds like you are using a tampon that is too big. Try moving down a size to match your flow.

Today we had a sub in tech class, so instead of doing our normal class, we watched Bill Nye the Science Guy. Well, afterwards we had to write two things we learned, and there was an extra sheet of paper. So on it, two of my friends and I wrote "I love Mr. Turner" (that's the real teacher's name not the sub) and a bunch of hearts. Then we signed it with a boy's name in our class. But the worst part is one of my friends actually turned it in!!!! And now I am scared that we are going to get in trouble!!! What should I say if he mentions it?!!







hey! just laugh and say it was a joke. i really doubt you will get in trouble Smile

I wish I had boobs to even see that one might be bigger Smile But really, no two parts of our body are exactly the same, not our hands, our eyes and not our boobs but sometimes it is more noticeable. Its hard to say if yours will even out, chances are they will. We went over this in class last year about the different size body parts.

I really want to do cheerleaeding! Im really embarrased to tell my mom. My parents want me to do soccr, larosse and feild hockey and track and dance and basketball. NOT cheerleading. I really want to do it, but what do i say to my mom, im so embarrased! PLease help! What do I say?




Hey girlie! There's no need to be embarrassed, cheerleading is fun, a lot of hard work, and it's good exercise. Ask your parents why they're opposed to you doing cheerleading and explain why you're passionate about it. Don't get frustrated or angry. I'm sure they'll understand if they know the reasons why you want to be a cheerleader.
