Almost 16 and self conscious about my breast size
I'm almost a 16 year old girl, and I am not comfortable with my breasts, I'm 97 pounds and 4 ft 10, my bra size is 32 B, I feel very self conscious about it and its ruining my relationships. Please help!
And I should add, you're only 15! Who knows what size you'll end up at? You could end up with breasts that are too large (many many years ago I dated a woman who was 17, and that happened to her while we were dating). This just isn't going to be that important to you, but what is is worrying about what your friends are thinking. Just isn't relevant to you and your life.
Maybe you need a man's comment here. Small breasts, large breasts, aren't important to the kind of man you really want to know. They want to know all of you, not just your breasts. As to the above comment, I'm one of those guys who likes smaller breasts. From experience, women with very large breasts often have difficulty doing a lot of things you probably like to do -- athletic activity can be painful. If you look at many of the beautiful models and actresses, they have small to middle sized breasts, and the ones with large ones have phoney ones. Learn to love yourself, that's the sexiest thing of all, and be grateful you're slim -- it's healthier and will allow you to do more things in your life. Enjoy.
Ok, they're probably telling the truth, but they're probably not as thin/small boned as you are.
Moreover, small breasts aren't even necessarily a bad thing. My boyfriend loves skinny girls and he knows that small breasts sort of go along with the whole package. Almost all his exes had smaller breasts than I do--he clearly loves that look. I have never known a woman who had trouble dating because of small breasts. Truthfully, you're more likely to have trouble dating because of bad skin, or being overweight--and even then, those people still get married!

My friends aren't lying as we go shopping together, but thank you for your reply.
I was where you were- well, actually, I was 5'5", 112 lb, and a small C cup (but proportionally speaking, we probably looked similar- skinny/small boned). Since you are SO small, a 32B probably looks bigger on you than it would on your C cup friends. There's a reason nobody notices huge boobs on very overweight women- because everything is huge! same thing with tiny girls. If everything is tiny, 32B boobs look totally normal. a 32B chest on an overweight woman might look smaller.
And another thing- friends lie. Plus, your friends might be heavier than you are. You sound very skinny, and when you are very skinny you naturally have less fat- that means smaller boobs. I had smaller boobs than most of my high school friends, but they were also heavier than I was! As an adult, my breasts are still smaller than most women's, but compared to the rest of my body they are proportional or maybe on the big side. It's all relative. I'm sure they look good on YOUR frame. If you were six feet tall and two hundred pounds, with 32B breasts, then they might look small. But since you're such a small person, they probably look average sized.

Thank you guys, its just I feel embarrassed while with my boyfriend because all my friends that are my age are size C and up
I agree, a B is not small for a girl your size. Men like women all different shapes and sizes. I'm sure you are beautiful, learn to love yourself. God made you perfect and he doesn't make mistakes! When I was younger I used to be so unhappy with my weight, I thought I was so fat, now after two kids about about 35 pounds heavier and i look back at pictures and I was soooo skinny!!! I'm so mad that I didnt' enjoy it! It really is so important to have good self esteem, live your life and enjoy every second :-)
I agree with remar. I am much larger in body size (5'8" 200lbs) than you with about the same breast size (38 B), lol. Your breast size is fine, quit watching so much Tv those people on Tv are not real, and you don't have to be like them. You are just fine the way you are. And if you find the right guy he will like you for your personality and your mind, not your breast size. I agree focus on your school work that is more important.
