Is this normal? :( (women only)?!
Question: Ok, I'm 14 years old, I'm 5'1", 106lbs., and I have a size 30 A bra. One of my boobs is bigger than the other and they haven't grown at all in the last year. I also haven't gotten my period yet. I'm really scared and embarrased because all the other girls my age are "blooming" and I'm not. Is this serious? Should I see a doctor?
Also do you think that I'm overweight?
Thank you so much for your help!

1) Firstly it is very common and normal for woman to have one breast slightly larger than the other so don't stress.
2) Puberty and changes occur at different times in different people so don't stress to much that you haven't got your period yet. It will come, just give it time.
3) Trust me from experience your not missing out on anything exciting anyways :)
4) No you are definately not overweight. You are well within a healthy range so please stay as you are and in time it will all happen. Love your body and look after yourself.
Finally, i don't think you need to see a doctor yet, but if you get to 16 or 17 and still haven't had a period i would go and check it out just in case.
no. you are not overweight, and you are completely normal. your breasts wont really start to grow and fully develop until after your period starts. you usually get your period around the same time your mother got hers when she was young, so ask her when she got hers.
yes, it is normal.
your still growing, so things will change (:
Girl, you are definitely not over weight how could you think you were. At your age being 130 wouldn't even be over weight. As for your bra size and stuff, dont worry about it. You may begin soon, ask your mom when she got her period but its not something you need to worry about, and BELIEVE me you DO NOT want your period. I know you think good things will happen and it will be cool, but it wont and it isnt. Just dont worry its all going to work out :)
Naturally one breast is slightly larger than the other, very normal! Its normal for you to not have started your period at your age as well. I was a late bloomer, I was 14 when my period started and I had friends as young as 9 that had started before I. As for your weight you are perfectly fine at your age and height, do not be concerned. Too many people are concerned with weight these days and shouldn't be.
I would say however if you haven't started your period by the age of 16, I would consult a Doctor, other than that, you are A okay!
perfectly normal just means you arent developing fast like the others but if you dont get your period in the next couple yrs tell your mom and go to the gyno bc that means your hormone levels are low, btw your are NOT OVERWEIGHT U HAVE A 30A BRA THAT MEANS YOUR ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO OVERWEIGHT!!
look at this it shows your BMI which is body mass index so yea you are a healthy weight
A 14 year old (female) child
who is 106 pounds
and is 5 feet and 1 inches tall has
a body mass index of 20.1,
which is at the 59th percentile,
and would indicate that your child is at a healthy weight. Keep in mind that it is still possible for a child to have an eating disorder even if they are at a healthy weight though.
