i feel like im waiting for something thats never gunna happen
Question Posted Tuesday September 1 2009, 12:04 am
i'm 15 years old, 5'3 and 3/4, 104 lbs, started my period about a month ago, and have all signs of puberty- except boobs. i cant stand seeing myself in a mirror when im getting changed because its repulsive to see my non-existant chest. i dont just have small boobs, im completely flat chested. i might as well be a ten year old boy. every time i look for advice people say theres still time and im just a late bloomer, but i've been waiting to get them for 5 or more years (some of my friends started developing as early as age 9.) i'm so worried i'll stay this way my entire life. is that possible? i don't want any answers if all your going to say is "your 15, there's still time. :)" no. wrong. unless you were in the exact same position as me but still got them eventually you can't say that. every single person i know my age has them and i've already started my period, your supposed to get your boobs before your period. so please no answers like that. and i'm sorry if im coming off bitchy, im just frustrated as im sure you can imagine.
I highly doubt it is a growth problem like the person suggested below me, The truth is there is no age that we stop growing in the breast area. Our breast is fat tissue, It grows and it shrinks with our body weight. When we loose weight, We loose weight everywhere and it is pretty much the same as when we gain weight. At 15, Everyone who has been telling you that you still got time is right. I am 24 years old and I did not start growing breast until I was about 17 years of age. Then again, As I hate to tell you not all of us are born to look like Pamela Anderson... [ BahaiMa22's advice column | Ask BahaiMa22 A Question ]

^But this is rare
It's a possibley they might never develop.
I think you can buy a special bra to make you look like you have boobs.
Are you thin? Two of my bestfriends are really thin, and they practically have nothing, but they're definatly growing.
But anyway. You ARE probably just a late bloomer.
You're boobs don't stop growing till you're 18-22 years old.
I know, us girls like NEED to have boobs.
But really, you'll probably get them during the year, or this summer. [ KlutzyKim's advice column | Ask KlutzyKim A Question ]

I don't remember, it could have been early 15 or late 14, but that doesn't really matter. It's complete bull when people say that "oh you'll get boobs once you get your period" ...uh, NO. That doesn't apply to everyone, let me tell you hahaa. I'm still waiting for mine, although, you might not notice a huge change yet, they are growing. Because during each of your periods, your breats swell and after your period is done they get a little bigger each time. Also, if you put on weight, they get bigger also. I'm not saying like, go put on some pounds, but these are just the facts. It could also be in your genes that you don't have boobs, my mom didn't get a chest until she got pregnant with me my brother and my sister. It's different for everyone. and it's not fair that my sister has boobs and I dont ! honestly, ahaha. But you just have to live with it. If you look around you, you'll see that alot of people are flat chested or flatter than you think.. they just use push up bras and all of that.
I know what it feels like to have everyone around you have a chest and you being the odd man out. But it doesn't mean you're not attractive. I mean, I have a boyfriend, so he must not care :] haha. However trust me, your boobs will get bigger after each of your periods. You probably won't have like the boggest chest and you might become barely a size b cup, but you won't be flat forever. You have a ways to go.
The possibility of having a flat chest for the rest of your life IS possible, I know that's not what you want to hear, but I had to own up to that too haha. You'll get used to it, it doesn't really bother me anymore. I am how I am. But i promise you, you won't be as flat as you are now for the rest of your life. you will get at least a little chest even if it's just a tiny bit. and if it relaly bothers you that much, wear a push up bra or when you're older and done growing you can get surgery, but for now, you just have to try to not think about it. because you are beautiful just the way you are, with boobs or without.
good luck ! hope i helped and dont sweat it so much :] if you need anything else, feel free to inbox me, xxo. [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]
