i hate my body. i feel so out of place around my friends, my 2 bestfriends have big boobs like b and c, i can barely fit into an A, and my 16th birthday is in 2 weeks, summer is coming and i will look so stupid in a bathing suit, a padded bra will do something in a shirt but not in a bathing suit, i dont want people talking about me, my self confidence is low enough, i dont know what to do
if you really feel that uncomfortable, there are padded bathing suits & such. but you shouldn't because everybody is different and there's NOTHIGN to be embarassed about w/ your bra size. an A is fine, some people are just smaller or develop later, and you probably aren't the only one.

Most of the time, you are viewed by others in the same way your view yourself. If you give off the vibe of no confidence, that will always make you a target. I learned that the hard way ;)
Comfort in your body can only come from you. Personally, I think smaller breasts are more attractive and feminine but that's just me. I think you should feel just fine about your size.
You're only 16 anyway. You have plenty of time to grow if that's what you're wanting. But until then, try feel GOOD about your body. Hold your head high. Tell yourself you look great. I know that sounds way corny but in time, it'll do loads for the way you view yourself.
Truthfully, if you open yourself up to people, smile, appear confident, your breast size isn't going to matter at all. Especially when the entire package is attractive and confident. You get what I'm saying?
LadyGoodman answered Thursday April 20 2006, 11:21 pm: I have friends that are really flat who, despite that, still get a lot of compliments about their looks and guys who like them. Some guys actually prefer less of a chest! It's normal to not be so comfortable with your body but there's no reason to be so stressed out... no one's going to be truly grossed out or offended by your smaller than average chest, and if they are, they're not your real friends anyway. If you still are really worried about it by the time summer comes around, you could always wear a shirt over your swim suit and say it's because you burn really easily. Hang in there, being small won't always be seem so horrible, not to mention you still have time to grow. ;) [ LadyGoodman's advice column | Ask LadyGoodman A Question ]
loves2shop86 answered Thursday April 20 2006, 10:28 pm: hey!! ok i know what you mean because i am an A cup and i am 20!!! i mean you are 16, you still have time to grow!! but even if you don't, you need to learn to love yourself and what you have! you want other people to like you and not talk about you? then you show them that you are proud of who you are! if you like your boobs and your body, then why would people talk about that? why should anyone else love your body if you don't love it? self confidence can make the ugliest person in the world look better in the eyes of others. so when you have having a bad day and you are down about your body, just suck it up and pretend like there is no problem... trust me, it works! if you are going around showing others that you are not impressed with yourself, then they automatically won't be impressed with you either!
now, if you are dying to have big boobs, why not trying to gain some weight? i am really skinny, and i know if i put on a couple of pounds my boobs might grow... however, i choose to stay skinny and keep my small boobs. are you willing to gain some weight to see if your boobs might grow? that's your decision. but who cares about boobs that much anyway?? i was talking to a couple of my guy friends the other day, and they all said that they would rather see a girl with a nice butt than one with big boobs! seriously, boobs deffinitely come second to butts nowdays!
lastly, who the heck has a perfect body?? NO ONE!! i'm sure there are a million things that you like about yourself. long eyelashes? pretty eyes? nice lips? long legs? there are just too many things to name!! but you can't have it all! just focus on the features you love about yourself. when you wake up in the morning, don't look in the mirror and say "i don't have boobs and i hate that!!" no don't even look at that! look at yourself and pick at all the things you LIKE, and focus on those. compliment yourself. remind yourself everyday that you have features that others only dream of. keep doing this and i promise you one day you will believe it!! it worked for me when i was your age and had low selfesteem! :) hope that helps!

Tickle-Me-Pink answered Thursday April 20 2006, 10:01 pm: thats a tough situation, i am 15, i dont have big boobs, but i dont hate my body or boobs one bit!.i would look retarded if they were any bigger. & i wouldnt let anyone hurt my feelings about any part of my body. there is no way to make your boobs get magically bigger i am sorry , you need to understand this is who you are,and this is how you were made. if your bestfriends say something about them or anyone else. ignore them they are not true friends anyway. you will probably not even know these people when your like 30, so dont let that lower your confidence.
