Is it breast cancer?
My right breast really hurts a lot all day today. This never happened before and I'm only 13! At times today it stings inside sometimes but mainly hurts. I was wondering if it's normal, maybe this is the time where milk devolopes on a girl's body, or is it an early sign of breast cancer? I can't ask the doctor because I'm not confortable with a boy touching it and looking at it.

You only develop milk when you're pregnant.
Sometimes it gets sore because you're growing or you are on your period.
You could ask your mom or go to a doctor (you can ask for a female!)

It is normal and not a sign you have cancer or anything. Actually breast cancer isn't usually painful at all, which is why they always want you to
chuck them yourself for lumps.

have you gotten your period yet? because sometimes during a girls period her breast can get a little sore.
if not, then like the other girl said, you are probably just developing. and if your too afraid to talk to your doctor about it, then try talking to your mom about it first.

It's probably because you're still developing. You shouldn't be lactating yet, unless you're pregnant, so it's not that... it's very typical to have pains in your breasts at your age, since you're still growing.
As for not being comfortable with examinations, doctors are professionals, and I can assure you they don't get anything from examining you. If it were an early sign of breast cancer, you'd need professional diagnosis anyways!
