First things first: The size of your breast should not determine how one sees you-- don't worry so much about them, you will be beautiful no matter what your breast size is.

You still have lots of time to grow. Not to mention, if you ever have children you are very likely to get an increased breast size.

The time when a woman's breasts stop growing is different in every case. Your personal "biological clock" may tell your breast's to stop growing at 22 while your friends' stops at 17.

What I think is a reliable source said that breast growth stops four years after your first period, but I don't think it true, since I doubt my boobs will stop growing at 15. I've found out that in real life situations with friends they stop growing in the age group 18-22.

Anyway, like Ruthnn and Kendor said, don't worry you don't need to have big boobs to look good. I've learned from experience that it really is personality that makes all the difference.

Hope I helped. razz

This may be something you don't want to hear, but I am 40 and still a 32A. I have had 4 kids , they grew and shrunk again. I always wanted to have them enlarged because I thought I would feel better. I am glad I never did.I never have to suffer from backaches and sagging. My husband loves me for the way I am. It took me a long time to come to terms with they way I look, but I know now, larger boobs wouldn't have made me any different. It is what is inside a person that counts!!

Wish I could give you some of my size 38 DD. The darn things get in the way, and I look like a chest of drawers with the top drawer left open.

Catty (who liked them when they were up at chest level) wink

trust me, as long as the rest of your body is proportional, any size brests are very sexy. it´s all about balance. nobody is going to love you or hate you based on your chest.

Exactly. The only people who actually care about the size of your breasts are people you wouldn't actually want to have anything to do with.
But, there are a lot of factors including genetics, biological clock, diet, environment, body type... Some people get breasts early on, some don't. There's no way to really know.
For example, I started my period when I was twelve so four years after that would be sixteen and I had 34Bs, which were fine with me, but at that point I went on birth control and pow! they grew. (this does not happen to everybody, though!) So I had these 36Cs and I was content and then my last year in college pow! they ballooned up again and now I have these 38Ds and I swear if they pow again I am getting breast REDUCTION surgery!

The size of your breasts doesn't matter, its what is inside that counts.
Personally I prefer girls with small breasts, honestly, every girl I've ever liked has had small breasts.
Also, in case you're planning to have kids one day, I heard an article on T.V. saying that women with small breasts make better mothers. I think it was relating to breastfeeding though.
