Completely off topic: "GO MAX GO!"

If it still remains there than you need to have your doctor examine the lump. the doctor will most likely have you get an ultrasound of it to make sure that it is nothing to worry about. if you are over 28 than you will need a mammogram too. good luck

take care

 Honestly i would go see a doctor about this because it could just be your brest are growing but it could also be something else its better to get checked and be safe then let it go and and be sorry. If you are still in school, go talk to your nurse because she should know, and also if your mom just belives its your brest growing she wont take you to the doctors, and you have to have a parent there in order for them to check you, so maybe if the school nurse thinks that you need to get checked she will call your mom and tell her you need to be checked by a doctor

 it is most likly it is just your body changing but see your doctor as soon as you can to put your mind at rest, also if there is anything wrong the sooner it is found the better.
