GirlsLife.com - My boobs hurt! Is this normal?

Yep, it’s normal. Your boobs are a little sore when you press on them or run into something because they’re growing. Not fun, but definitely a fact of life through your tween and teen years. It’s absolutely nothing to worry about, but if it would make you feel better, your doc can check ya out and make sure you’re in tip-top shape.

For now, avoid doing the things that hurt when your breasts are extra-sensitive. Or, try wearing a bra with a little bit padding to give ya some cushioning. Sleeping on your back or side instead of your tummy could give ‘em some relief, too.

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! 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!!
