Please talk to your mom or a woman you trust. At age 12 your breasts are likely to be a little sore because they are growing like crazy right now. You will feel so much better and you'll be able to stop worryig if you talk to an adult about this-not your friends. What do they know about your body that you don't know?

I'm just like you I'm 15 now and have rather large breasts and when I was just 10 I started to feel a lump in my right breast. . I thought it was breast cancer and I told my mum straight away she took me to the doctors the next day who listened to what I said and I said it hurt me and he said its because I must be growing them early its nothing to worry about x x

At 12 your brest are just beigining to grow, lumps and bump on a 12 yr old mean that they are growing 99.99 precent of the time. it totally normal for you to be curious about your body and what it is doing. The best advice I can give you, is to talk to your mom or a trusted female adult. DO NOT ASK YOUR FRIENDS! they wont know any more than you do!.  Good Luck and don't worry too much, and make sure you talk to your mom ok.
