 Your boobs don't stop growing until your early twenties. Your boobs won't just continuously grow, they'll come in little spurts. And soreness doesn't mean they're growing, just means they're swollen from fluid retention. And don't worry too much about breast size. I know at your age the guys are all going totally crazy over big boobs, but they'll grow out of. They're just excited because they're discovering their new hormones (and those enormous plastic watermelons in porn) for the first time. Men really do find any boob, large or small, beautiful. I have NEVER heard a man complain his girlfriend had breasts that were too small. You're totally normal, and your breasts may yet grow. I was very flat throughout high school (as was Tyra Banks) but hit a big growth spurt in college. But mostly what changed was that guys stopped caring so much about breast size and more about your face and personality. And those guys are the ones you want to keep in the end.

 I basically agree with everyone else here :)
Don't panic! Every body is different and grows at different rates. Usually, your boobs won't stop growing until you're very late teens/early twenties, you've got years yet!
And also, size can be hereditary. If your Mum or the women on her side of the family are mostly small, chances are you're not exactly going to be FF size. Just hang in there, they'll grow when they grow. And if you're still an A-Cup when you're 20 or so, just remember this (a guy friend told me this once), anything more than a handful is a waste, so as long as your boyfriend doesn't have HUGE hands, you're all set :P
Peace,

reader, anonymous, writes (9 July 2010): I'm 16 and still an A too and I used to get hung up about it but I heard my current boyfriend telling his best friend he thought mine were the perfect size and that gave me my first boost of confidence. I then started realising that as I'm quite thin (small apetite/vegetarian/various reasons), it'd be disproportional to have really big boobs, wouldn't it? So I don't know if the same goes for you but yeah.Also, I've recently gone on the pill as I'm considering losing my virginity soon (MAYBE) and it has actually made my boobs a bit bigger. Not suggesting you go and do this but yeah.I've always lacked confidence in myself and I still do but somewhere along the line I learnt if you act as if you're the confidentest person on the planet (not cocky or arrogant, just walking tall, head up etc.), you look it.

 It could mean you are destined to have small perky boobs. Or it could mean that your breasts had a little growing spurt now, and will continue later on. Mine didn't grow until I was 16-17, and I was a size a for years until then. Some breasts continue to grow even after puberty.
Look to your mother. You are most inclined to get breasts like hers. If she has small ones you must settle with the thought that you too will have small ones.

 Hi, I hope I can help you. I started my period when I was 12. I did not start growing breasts until 3-4 years after starting my period. I had no pain in my breasts until they started growing. Since yours cause no pain now, it is obvious they are not growing at the moment, but it doesn't mean that they won't. I had a time similar to what you are experiencing that lasted for a year, and I was grateful because when mine started growing again they hurt.Now I have still have small breasts, size B, at age nineteen which may be why they grew in this manner, but I also have a hormone imbalance where my body doesn't make enough estrogen. I started taking birth control for this and my breast grew a little , but not a lot because I am thin built. If you are thin your breast may stay small and if you notice other symptoms such as severe cramps, migranes, burning sensations in your legs when you have your period or fatigue once your breast start growing again, suggest you be checked for a hormone imbalance. But you shouldn't concern yourself with your breasts. There are many ways you can't flaunt what you have and as long as you are confident. If a guy doesn't like that, then you where not meant to be with him. I hope this helps.

 I know it seems like this is a major crisis, as all teenage girls feel pressured to have big boobs. (and the boys dont help, as they think the big, inflatable fake boobs they see in porn are real. Boys really can be thick idiots sometimes).
But the reality is, that women come in many different shapes and sizes, and so do their boobs. Small ones, big ones, droopy ones, pert ones, and even wonky or lopsided ones. Its all NORMAL.
Boob size can depend on all sorts of things - including genetics! How big are your mum's boobs? As this can often give you an indication as to how big you will get. If your Mum has smaller boobs, you may have smaller too.
Also, different women can take longer or shorter times to fully develop in all parts of their body. It is all perfectly normal. You are still only 15, and your body is still developing and growing. I know all teenagers (including me at that age) thought we were adults, and grown up, but physically you are not. You still have the body of a child. Your body is still maturing, and I promise it will get there. You just have to have patience and accept you might not get there for a little while yet. Puberty is a difficult time, where the brain is beginning to think more "adult" things, but the body has yet to catch up. Its a bit like a battle.... one is fighting the other. They will eventually make peace and work together, but its a stressful process in getting there.
Hang in there! You are a perfectly normal, healthy 15 year old.
