Help:(

Hello, i'm 16 in and i feel very self conscious about my breast size. I feel as if something is wrong with me because i don't seem to grow. I currently wear a 32 A.  But my friend seems to flaunt herself and makes me feel bad because she tells everyone how small i am. :( Please help me out.

Thank you everyone. I thought all of the advice really helped me out. I don't feel as bad as i did. I'll be sure to tell her to knock it off if she continue's. She seems to be that type to flaunt EVERYTHING.  But thank you all very much.

ps -- if a woman gains weight in her breasts, she immediately looks more matronly and fat all over to people, even if the weight is genuinely just in the breasts, because people visually associate bigger breasts with bigger waists and hips.  I looked downright chunky when I was breast-feeding, and my pants size was the same as before I was pregnant.  At least a smaller-breasted look is sleek all over and you look lithe and slim.  Try not to react to your stupid friend, she's probably insecure and trying to get "one up" on someone for something, even if it means sacrificing a friend.  And it is true, women with bigger breasts are often plagued by guys who don't want them (the women) for themselves, but just for a fetishistic attraction to boobs.

Some friend you have. Ignore her. I'm 21, almost 22 and am a very small A size. (I wear sports bras and haven't sized myself lately since I went back down in cup size) I promise you, NOTHING is wrong with you in the least. Breasts come in a variety of sizes, and nothing says you have to be large chested. In fact, it's horrible. My aunt is large chested, and has to have bras specially made for her. She gets attention for her chest only, and has trouble finding shirts that will fit her. You can't wear any of the cute shirts for risk of looking trashy, and it hurts. You can back aches, they sag horribly and you have to be in a bra non-stop. You sound perfectly fine.

It sounds like your friend is very unaware of how hurtful her comments are.  Have you told her it upsets you?  I was very self conscious at her age too, but because I was too big.  As you get older, you feel more comfortable with your body.  Honestly,  I've never had someone put me down for my size.  It sounds like you need to lose your friend.  No one should ever say anything to offend you if she's really a friend.  Confront her and tell her how you feel .   If she continues, lose her as a friend.  
   Wait til you're older and you'll feel better.  If you get to a point at an older age and it still bothers you, you can always change it.  That's the beautiful thing about the modern age.  It's not insurmountable.  I thought about a breast reduction, but I opted not to, and I'm happy for my choice.  As you get older, you'll feel more comfortable.  Until then, stay away from bad friends and enjoy your life knowing you have choices.
