Lump on Left Side Rib Cage

Hi, I'm 14 years old and I recently found this lump about 2 inches below my breast on top of my rib cage. Its about 1 inch in size and has a rubbery feel to it, does not hurt at all and I feel perfectly fine. I'm really worried but my friend's mom whose a nurse said it's probably just a lump of fat tissue. Any other ideas for what it might be?

Did you ever get it checked out? What ended up happening with you?  My 13 year old niece just described and showed me the same symptoms.

Could be a 3rd breast but more than likely a fibroadenoma or lump of fat.  Both nothing to be concerned about.  

Get it checked out if you are particularly worried.
