Dr Girl/Dr Dejour Q&A
Dear Dr Dejour,

I'm 13 years old and my breasts are smaller than all my friends. All my friends are in a high B or in a C, and I wear a 34A. Is there something wrong with me? What can I do to make my breasts grow faster and bigger?

Signed Breast-less.

Dear Breast-less,

The thing about breasts and being thirteen is that you may be at a different stage of puberty than your friends. I wonder if you have had a period and got pubic hair yet, as if you have not I can say that you haven't finished puberty, and if you wait patiently, lovely things should develop. If you have been through puberty and the bosoms of your mother and sisters (if relevant) are of similar size, then we are dealing with a case of size A bosoms.

If this is the case then you can only alter their size by gaining weight (fat). Their size is genetically determined, like the rest of you.

Although breasts are an obvious sign (to the public) of growing into being a woman, your female sexuality is in all of your body, your voice and your behaviour and learning to love yourself will be a kindness rarely equalled.

Dr Dejour.
