Feeling really awful about myself...

---

Alright, this is really imbarassing and all....yeah. you know how it goes...Anyway, i'm 15 and in my opinion i'm not "developing" at the rate I should. I've always been a late bloomer and all, but lately it's really been depressing me. I hate shopping in the girls section for bras that "give you shape" and crap like that. I'm just sick of it. I do have a boyfriend. We've been going out for almost 4 monthes, and i've talked to him about how self concious I am on this subject and he assures me that he doesn't care but I really have a hard time beliving it. For awile I wouldn't even let him touch my chest at all just because I'm ashamed. I've pretty much planned on having breast implants when i'm older, and as soon as I can afford it because it bothers me that much. Sometimes people say stuff (you know how it is in highschool) and it really hurts but I ignore it and pretend I didn't hear and stuff, but then I go home and cry sometimes because I hate myself so much. And I'll shut up soon (if you even got this far without closing the page) Basically, what i'm trying to say is that I need either a way to make my breasts grow at a faster rate, or a way to make myself more comfortable with the body i've been cursed with. FYI: i'm 5'4" and 95 lbs. So...i'm thin, and I guess breasts are made of fat??? maybe thats why i'm not developing as I should? I don't know...just help! I would appreciate anyones advise. Even guys. I ont give a shit right now.

I think it's probably just because you're thin. Breasts are indeed mostly fat. As you get older you'll get heavier and bigger-breasted.

It seems like you are at least 15lbs lighter than you need to be and it seems like that could be the factor!

Don't feel bad. I know what you're going through.I'm 15 also (turning 16 in a couple months) I'm 111 lbs and I have 36As. I guess I've gotten used to them. Considerate guys don't care about breast size. I've never met one guy in my entire life who did care. There are many other beautiful things on the female body. And your boyfriend seems great about it all.Like the others said, your weight seems to be the cause. You won't stay that weight forever and as you grow they will too.

I know exactly how you feel. Read some of my posts. I'm just as insecure if not more. You didn't say what size you are though. It would help to know.

i'm barely a 36 A myself. But like I said...that's in the girls section. It's so depressing!!

Oh the joy of having to get bras in the girls section at age 15.. I know the feeling... You'll grow. And if you don't and someone makes you feel bad about them, they're just arrogant jerks that aren't worth you're time. Aslong as you accept yourself, it's all that matters. You seem to have a great boyfriend, too. So everything seems to be alright.36A's aren't the smallest out there, anyway.

I'm sorry to hear about your dilemma. There are many mixed feelings that go on when going through puberty. Although in your case I think there is something you can do.I am a little concerned about your weight. Being so much underweight can be very unhealthy. For motivation, gaining weight will probably increase your breast size.As you've mentioned, you've always been somewhat of a late bloomer. Don't put this against yourself. I don't want to say everyone... so I'll just say most people can't control their body during puberty.Don't be too hasty with deciding to get breast implants. In your case you should probably wait until you're 19 or so, just to be safe. Breast implants are tools for boosting many women's self-esteem who find their bodies inadequate in this superficial world. If you're concerned about what males think, know that most men with a sense of maturity think that the size of your breast is not very important.In conclusion: Don't feel as if there is nothing you can do yet understand there are some things you can't help. For now, take care of yourself and see what you can do to get your weight up.

I can't really help the weight thing. I've always been a bit under weight...Do you know of any way to gain like...10 pounds without it going to every place BUT my breasts? I doubt it...but maybe..? Like...what sort of foods should I be eating? Exercise? None at all? What can I do?

Your probably at least 20lbs light, how much do you eat in each meal?

In your case the point of gaining weight is to keep your body healthy. You want to intake all kinds of different foods. I would say follow the food pyramid but I've had some people tell me that scientists have proven the food pyramid as being wrong. But the good thing about it is you need to take in all the things within it. Grains, vegetable, fruits, dairy, and meat.As with most people a healthy routine includes eating 3 meals a day, trying to stay fit with excercise, taking in plenty of water, and getting enough rest. Since you're trying to gain weight, don't be afraid to snack in between meals.

I pretty much eat all day long when I can. My only big meal is dinner. I snack constantly, but I don't normally eat lunch 'cause it's too much of a hassle to go through that stupid line, and I would pack...but...i just dont feel like carrying it around all day. I don't eat breakfast 'cause it makes me feel sick. I've been to plenty of doctors. (my mom was concerned) and they've told me that i'm healthy, i dont look sickly, and i need to eat more bread. I did that for the longest time and nothing. I think i'm just built like this.

Eating in the morning made me feel sick for the longest time also. Now I can eat whenever and I feel fine. So you're not alone. You may grow out of it. Some do some don't.

Though, I do have to say eating one meal a day doesn't sound very healthy.

Hey there! I'm 15 too (but I'm a dude, lol). Anyway, I'm a late bloomer with being a guy and in my opinion, it is worse for me because I have to deal with height. I'm only like 5'6" right now while my peers are mostly 5'9-10". My voice hasn't even cracked yet and I'm a sophomore. But enough about me, let's talk about you. I think it is your weight. I know a girl who I'm friends with and she has about B-C size breasts and she's about your height. She's not fat but she's not skinny either. I think it mainly has to do with your weight. On the breakfast thing, I'm coming to think that you think a breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, toast and such. It does not. I mean, I eat Ramen, Pizza Rolls, taquitos, whatever floats my boat. Eggs and the like do make my stomach hurt but not everything else. Try eating something spicy and soupy like Ramen. Lunch and Dinner is what really counts. You may want to try and go through the line. Divise a plan that will get you to the cafeteria earlier than usual so that you may do lunch earlier. Even though I am not the first one in, my class is across the school and I can make it to lunch with little wait. For dinner, you should try eating pasta and other foods with plenty of carbs. You probably have a high metabolism so if you eat dinner later than usual, you might have a chance to get to sleep before your body burns the carbs that you just took in (most likely). The carbs will turn into fat.Do you drink soda? If not, you should. Soda is actually surprisingly healthy for you. In the morning, it can give you a burst of energy letting you do better in school and it can also balance the acid level in your stomach (which can negate a stomach ache if you have problems with breakfast) because it is a base.As for your breasts, if they are merely poking out, then it is fine. In my opinion, shorter girls are much hotter to me, so you have a plus there. In fact, I think this girl in my class is pretty hot and she has A-B boobs and she's like 5'0". Don't stress it so much and you'll be fine. Just get a little more weight there. Try 115 if you can.Hope this helps and good luck!

for gaining weight i have the same problem, and i read that if you try to squeeze in an extra 100 HEALTHY calories every day it should help. like if u like nuts (cashews are good) a cup of those is about 100 calories i believe, or black bean burrito, chili, etc. protein protien, protien. dont fret too much tho, body types are out of our control, so try to be content! ;-D

littleme I know exactly how you feel! its horrible! except, im even smaller than you and I dont have a boyfriend. no one will ever like me

ok, yeah i'm a guy and 15 but i still got an idea about insecurity with breast size. i mean its kinda a different way than anyone else i've seen suggest. but, a couple of female friends have taken birth control pills at one time or another and they usually gain weight as well as have a jump in breast size. one of my friends had a large increase. she has great breasts now and she used to be a small a.

little me when you said, "i'm barely a 36 A myself. But like I said...that's in the girls section. It's so depressing!! " what did you mean? like whats a girl section? as in like training bras or an actual a cup? you should be happy if you're an a cup-its better than aa1

I ont give a shit right now. Don't worry, you're not that old. You might still grow.But even if you don't... don't worry about it. It's hard to believe when you're young, but when you're in your 20s or 30s, a youthful (aka skinny and small-breasted) figure will actually be an asset. Just try to accept yourself and be happy with the way you are. Confidence goes a long way. And as long as your breasts are in proportion to the rest of your body, there isn't any problem. At 95 pounds, you don't likely have enough body fat to grow enormous breasts. That's just not reality.

Breast swize doesn't matter as much as the media wants to publicize. Most 'hot' chick I know have smaller breasts, and the only way the less hot chicks can keep up is to have larger breasts.... or soemthing like that.
