Breast Cancer.
I have a weird lump in my left breast. But I am only 14. Its been there for about 1 or 2 weeks. Can you get breast cancer when you're only 14? I'm not sure, but I'm scared it might be something. Or are lumps normal? Its in my nipple, but I can't feel it when my nipples are hard..

It is possible to get breast cancer, regardless of age. The younger you are, the less likely it is, but it is still possible. The trick with all cancers is to catch them early, because the sooner a doctor can identify it and decide on a treatment, the better ones chances are. This is why you need to schedule an appointment with your doctor promptly.
Whenever you have concerns about your body, the best course of action is always to ask a professional. As a woman, it is so important that you become comfortable discussing your concerns with you doctor. My biological mother passed away as the result of breast cancer in her early 20's, but it probably started developing in her teens. If they had caught it earlier, the cancer would not have been so advanced and it would have been easier to fight off.
I'm not trying to scare you by any means- chances are, you're completely fine. There are a lot of different reasons that you might have a lump in your breast, and most of them are completely harmless. It'll probably go away on its own.
But it's always better to take precautions when it comes to your physical health, so make sure to get it checked out as soon as possible.

It is possible to get breast cancer that young, but unlikely. I'm not sure if it's normal or not though. I would recommend talking to your mom or another OLDER female you are comfortable with. They might recommend you going to the doctor just to be sure it is nothing.
