Round, pointy, pear-shaped, pendulous, or pancake-like. These are only some of the shapes breasts come in! And that's not even mentioning cup size, which can range from AA to G! Breasts get a lot of attention because they're visible sex organs, both anatomically and culturally. Society has a bit of a breast fixation, which can be considered immature. After all, in many European countries women appear topless on beaches and in women's magazines because it's not a big deal!
Girls at both ends of the spectrum often have issues with the size of their breasts. Girls with large breasts may feel that they attract too much attention or that heavy breasts cause back and shoulder pain. Girls with small breasts may feel that their breasts aren't like the breasts on the covers of fashion magazines, that they'll never feel or be as sexy as their busty friends, or that boys make fun of them for being flat. Also, there are a lot of misperceptions about breasts. Some people think that girls with large ones are more sexually experienced and available (wrong!).
The truth of the matter is that different size and shape breasts appeal to different people. (Think about it: do you only like guys who have one specific shade of hair colour?) Besides, what's really important is the way you feel about your breasts and that, whatever their shape or size, you come to accept them as another unique and beautiful part of you! |
