I'm 15 and I have a problem. I look like a little girl. I hate it! All of my friends started getting boobs when they were in grade 5 or 6 but nothing has happened to me. I dont even have hair between my legs or anything!. During sleepovers my friends have girl talk like bras and periods and stuff and I just sit there. and boys dont pay attention to me because i look like i am 8. anyways, is there anyone like me out there? Should I see a doctor or something? im sick of being the only girl in my grade who doesnt wear a bra! what cann i do?

Hey don't worry about it. When I was in 6th and 5th grade I was boobless too. And having no hair is good enjoy it while it lasts. I'm 14 your 15 we both have pretty much a long way to go. I've started growing after a bunch of years of doubts of even getting boobs but don't worry about it because they're going to grow. And it doesn't matter what other guys think about you. If you don't have your period yet that may be it.

I'm not sure when it's considered very late to start your period/puberty. You are definitely a late bloomer. A physical with your doctor wouldn't be a bad thing and you can talk about your concerns.
-
Don't worry about it I did'nt get boobs until I was a freshman.
-
Yeah, obviously I haven't started my period yet. My friends always tell me how lucky I am that I don't have to deal with it. id much rather be in their shoes though. At this point I would be happy with a training bra! thanx for the replies and the encouraging words

hey, not to worry. im in the same boat. my boobs are merely developing. its as good as nothing at all in fact. the only plus point is that i just had my period in june. im 15 too this yr (by december). i understand how you feel. i felt it too. after i got my period,i felt much better. but im still affected by small boobs. anyway cheer up!

15 is on the late side not to have started showing any signs of puberty. I would see the doctor to make sure there's no hormonal issue. There may be nothing wrong, but if there is, it would be a lot better to know sooner rather than later.
-
Don't worry, I'm in my last year of school and there are two girls in my year who I know for a fact haven't had their first periods or developed greatly. And one of them will be 18 soon. But they both get the attention from guys, if anything its better for them cause guys are interested because they are pretty and are nice people rather than just having massive tits. Some people just develop later than others.

> I know for a fact haven't had their first periods
How do you know that for a fact?
-
Because I am one of those people that nearly everyone in my year can talk to openly and they do. Now, I didn't ask them if they had had theirs, but in conversation (greatly assisted by the knowledge that I picked up here) it came up and they told me. Personally, I believe that it isn't anything to be ashamed of and other girls I asked said that they envy girls who haven't had their periods! Now obviously its a natural process and needs to happen for having children and all that, but none of these girls are considering that just yet, so to them they don't really feel the need for their periods.
-
Right. but most guys arent about dating girls who look like their 8 year old sister, not having my period doesn't bother me so much as not having breasts or pubic hair. Anyways I talked to my mom about it maybe a year ago and she told me i was just a late bloomer and i just had to be patient. Maybe I will ask to see a doctor though...
-
Maybe I will ask to see a doctor thoughIt certainly couldn't hurt, especially if you haven't seen the doc in a long time.

its wut is inside that counts..honestly is wut i think.
-
But a checkup still wouldn't be a bad idea.
-
Without minimizing your feelings, this isn't the worst thing that can be happening to you now. Think of it this way,.... things could have gone the other direction on you and you could have your existing 15 year old body with double D's!!,.. how much of a pain would THAT be?!

Taytortot, your right... One's personality is the most important thing in the world, and should be cared for like newborn faun. However, not a single straight guy in the world has that in their head when they're cruising for chicks or whatever.On the other hand, boobs aren't the most important thing in the world either. I'm the same age, and there are a lot of undeveloped girls in my grade who are very pretty, very popular, and very happy. Just don't let it get to you; you'll be fine, and all that body stuff will happen eventually. Then you'll have all sorts of new stresses to deal with. Relax and enjoy the way you are now, because it's for a limited time and then you'll never have it again.
-
yeah, i've heard the it's what is inside that counts speech so many times! what it all comes down to though is even guy swho are in it for the personality need something attractive to look at. I dont exactly have it. it's just how the male mind works. I do keep a good attitude most of the time though. but i have my days when i get down on myself thats all. i'm tired of "enjoying my body like I am now"
-
i do have some good news i guess. i was taking a bath and ... inspecting myself i guess. i dont normally do this see? because it usually makes me sad and a bit depressed. but i noticed something id never seen before. a few tiny hairs in between my legs! not too noticeable you have to really look hard but they are there ha ha, just thought some of you would want to know... anyways it stands to reason that boobs should not be far behind right? that would be nice.
-
i'm sure you all wanted to know that, right?
-
Well, congratulations! That's the third piece of good news I've heard this week.
