I'm 13, 5'6", pretty skinny (88 lbs.) but I have no breasts. I'm pretty much flat. I started my period a little over a year ago, but nothing's happening. My mom has small breasts too. Is there something wrong with me :/

Hi Sweetie,

There is nothing wrong with you, other than being too thin. At 5'6" and 13 years old, you're a good 20 pounds underweight, in my opinion. Gain a little weight, your breasts might grow some.

And I do understand your anxiety, but trust me, small boobies are the best. Yeah, there are some guys who are only into big boobs. And most of them are virgins! Any guy who has actually ever been close to a woman knows that boobs are boobs, and most men love them all.

Now I know you won't believe me when I tell you you're lucky to have small breasts! And a lot of men actually prefer women with small breasts.

I'm a 36 year old woman and I wear a 34A bra, and you know what? My small breasts are possibly my best feature. I wear tops that accentuate how small they are, and I take pride in them. They're perfectly proportioned to my petite figure, and I wouldn't change them for the world.

And you know what else? If I go to a club or a party, I have no trouble attracting guys. It's a myth that all guys want big boobs. What guys do like is self-confidence. I don't try to make mine look bigger, I celebrate what I have, and guys like that.

As an experiment, try wearing a tight top some time, one that screams "I have small breasts, and I'm proud of them." I think you'll be surprised by the positive reactions you get.

Take pride in what you have, project self-confidence, and lots of guys will be after you!

Your breasts are probably developing fine. The size is only fat, some girls put on a lot of fat on their breasts when they develop, and some do not. Both is fine - as you can see from your mother. Don't be worried about that ;o) I know all 13 year olds ARE worried about such things, but try not to be more than you absolutely have too ;o)
