I am no longer giving advice on Advicenators, and have requested that my account be deleted.

I am now giving advice on Askville as ->Peter

If you're looking for good advice here, I suggest you ask YoungGrandma. She's the best.

I don't expect to be checking in on this site again, so if you want to ask me something, see you on Askville!

Good luck!

well

my bestfriend sandra has a big problem and my friends and i dont nkow what to do well shes turning 14 she has small boobs she wants them to grow but she dosnt want plasctic surgery everyn 1 teases her tells her omg go get a breasty surgery she wanst them to grow really bad what can she do to grow them because i feel really upset whn she crys :(:( (link)
First: it's WAY too early for her to be getting upset about this. Because at 14, she's barely STARTED developing. It's like being upset that you don't have a dozen roses when the rose bush has only just sprouted. She needs to give it some time!

But of course that's hard, particularly with everyone teasing her.

At her age, it's very unlikely that she'll find any plastic surgeon who would be willing to operate.

And I'm sorry to say this, but there are NO treatments which will cause her breasts to grow, apart from birth control pills. All the creams, lotions, supplements and other body-part-enlarging products are outright scams. Period. I worked for a company that sold that sort of thing, and I know.

Her final development is most likely to resemble her mother and other female relatives; she can look at them to get an idea of how large her breasts will be by the time that she's fully mature (about age 20 or so). She can also ask her mother and relatives how quickly they developed, since her growth pattern is also likely to be like theirs (although there are exceptions; not everyone ends up looking like their parents).

In the meantime, I'm afraid there isn't much she can do. There are padded bras, of course, but in my experience kids can usually tell when a girl is wearing one. The best she can do is try to learn how to ignore the teasing, and be patient.

But if the stress is totally wrecking her life, perhaps she should talk to a counselor. Her regular doctor might be able to refer her to one; she'd need to talk to her parents about that, of course.

It would also be a good idea for her to talk to her OB/GYN about her concerns.

In the meantime, you and her other friends should continue to be as supportive as you can.
