Everyone on here says that breasts grow until you're 18, but is that really true because im 14 and mine haven't grown in a really long time and i know this because my stretch marks which were once there are now gone. Also, i got my period when i was 11, so i know thats really early.
Im a 28A and I'm perfectly happy with my size even though its small. I'm fine with it and I dont want really big boobs anyway, and my mom says that her boobs were the size they are now in 9th grade and i got my period a year before her. And most people in my grade and who are a year younger are bigger than me even though they got their period later than i did.
Any input or personal experience would be great, thanks :]
1. Breasts can start growing as early as age 10 and don't stop until your early 20's.
2. Breasts have been overly sexualized in Western culture making them too big a part of a girls physical identity.
3. Breasts have a biological purpose - for feeding babies.
4. Having a baby changes ones breasts forever, and many women get larger (but much less perky) breasts after pregnancy.
5. During puberty breasts can develop rapidly causing discomfort, sensitivity and even stretch marks .
6. Larger breasts do not make a girl more feminine, sexier or better.
7. Very large breasts can cause back pain and poor posture.
8. Bras are more than just underwear, they are necessary to keep your breasts supported and to stop injury to the breast tissue while playing sports.
9. Breast cancer is rare in teen aged girls but it is important to get used to checking your breasts for lumps and irregularities as soon as you start having your period - this is especially important if you have a family history of breast cancer.

Honestly I think my breasts stopped growing and I'm 16, but I know some people/doctors say that you stop growing in height, breast size and other places in general I think 4 years after puberty.
Getting your period starts midway into puberty, so your breasts stop growing 2 years after getting your period. I don't know how true that is since breast size can change also due to weight gain/loss and even pregnancy. There's a chance that your breasts might still grow.
