TheChupaChump agony auntOn birth control pills there are side effects as it can change your hormones... one of my friends ended up getting chin hair after using it. Take precautions

Don't worry- you're still very young. I was an A cup all through high school (age 17). I was a B cup in college (age 21). I was a C cup after college (age 25), and am now a D cup a year after stopping breast feeding (age 28). Breasts change and grow as you get older and/or gain weight. Breasts are made of fatty tissue. If you're extremely thin, you likely won't have large breasts without surgical augmentation.

If you're really concerned about it, you could always ask your doctor to make sure you don't have any hormonal imbalances. However, as long as you have started your period and have gone through puberty, your breasts just might develop at a slower rate- and that's ok.

person12345 agony auntIf you mean they're small, breasts don't stop developing until you're like 24. I had an A cup until I was 17 and then they grew to a C during college. But if you mean literally nothing at all and you're not extremely thin, you may want to see a doctor so make sure your hormones are all OK.

I think a lot of the time it's to do with your weight and frame, I think that's what it was with me anyway. I used to feel the exact same as you, I thought I was odd because my boobs were small and it seemed every girl around me had bigger boobs than me, I thought their was something wrong with me and I was late developing. But I think really it was because I was so tiny, petite and thin, it would've looked MORE abnormal if I had these huge knockers to go with my frame, it suited me the way I was.

They did grow a little more by the time I got to 18 and I'm still the same size now (34 b) and it still suits me what frame I am, I think I would just look daft with bigger boobs.

Are you skinny? I've found a lot of girls who're thinner tend to have smaller boobs. It could simply be that you're just a late developer, they might bloom by the time you get to 18. I'd give it another year and if nothing has changed and you're still not comfortable with them, I'd see a doctor about it. And remember if you're still not happy with them in the future you could always get implants.

hiya, no worries, my breasts started to grow at 10-14 and i absolutely hated them cos everyone used to point them out all the time; so there's always the opposite, though later i appreciated them

Anyways,yes youre not alone, ive heard it happen to some girls and it hugely worries them too. i think its important you see your doctor, cos it might be a hormone problem. Evening primrose oil can help with breasts making them bigger and firmer. But definitely, it happens to some girls and eventually they come along...a few hormone pills or diet alteration...there is always a solution
