We were so much alike . . . until these came along! | Source: Shutterstock
Then something happened that made her so much different from me: she grew breasts. And these weren’t just any breasts–we’re talking big boobs, here. I was pretty little when she started wearing bras, but seem to think she skipped the training bra stage entirely and went to super industrial sized mondo-support monster bras. The cups were big enough that at six and seven years old, I’d tease her by putting them on my head as hats.
Yes, I know. I was a very mature second grader. Whatever.
Anyway, I figured that within just a couple years, my time would come. I’d have a super curvy Jessica Rabbit, Marilyn Monroe, knock-you-out-with-my-knockers kind of figure, too. So I waited. And waited. And waited for my big boobs.
My super-sized rack never arrived. Instead of a diva-esque D-cup, I peaked at an A/B. And holy moly was I annoyed. The strapless dresses my sister had worn that I hoped I’d grow into never fit. In fact, no strapless dresses ever did, unless they were made of spandex, which just showed off how flat I was! Where people (including cool guys) thought my sister was older than she really was because of her big boobs, people (including cool guys) thought I was a baby because of my tiny ones!
This really kind of IS the size difference! | Source: Shutterstock
Now that I’m older, I realize that having big boobs didn’t make my sister’s problems any smaller than mine. While I was frustrated and sick of being treated like a baby, she was getting all kinds of unwanted sexual attention from creepsters–including a mall Santa at Christmastime–when she was still just a kid! And where I can’t wear strapless dresses or certain halter-style tops, she can’t wear most button-up tops or ever get away without wearing a bra.
And as for those “cool guys” who used to give her attention because of her figure and ignore me because of my tiny top? I think my sister and I have both realized that the coolest guys of all are looking for way more than perfect breasts in a girlfriend (although a certain boyfriend of mine wanted me to say that he thinks mine are great!).
I wish I hadn’t been so mean to my sister about her body–and that I hadn’t been so mean to myself about mine, either. Body snarking is way too freaking common among girls–in fact, I’d be willing to bet that most girls spend more time thinking about and talking about other girls breasts than dudes do–and it’s really just stupid.
You know why? Here’s the secret: It’s your confidence, not your cup size that makes you beautiful. I just wish I’d known that a long, long time ago.
Are you jealous of other girls or siblings with big boobs? Do you have big boobs yourself and hate them? Are you proud of your boobs just the way they are? Tell me everything in the comments!

I’m 13 and I’m A 38D, And The Attention I Get At School From Guys Is So Annoying :/. But I Have A Friend Who Is A 40DD, But I Personally Hate The Attention Because When I’m At The Beach 30 year olds Would Whistle At Me Thinking I’m Older Than I Am!! You Cant Do Alot Of Things Such As Go Running Without Having Your Boobs Hit You In The Face LOL…
My mom is a 40C and my older sister is a 34 C. I’m the youngest and I thought I was a C to but after I measured myself I kept getting 34B and 36B. My best friends both have Full C and D’s and I literally cry 4 days out f the week because some of my shirts make me look flatter than what I am. I’ve been praying to God for bigger breast for almost 2 1/2 years now and I really just want a larger chest and it has nothing todo with guys paying attention to me
I’m very flat-chested. I’m 14 and wear a 30 A. Everytime I take a shower it makes me feel like I’m a little kid looking at my skinny small body. My sister she’s same height and everything but she has boobs. I’m jealous. she’s a B I believe and 13. younger and bigger boobs. I wish I could have something to show off in tank tops. All guys think I’m ten. I might be this way because I don’t eat meat and maybe that’s what makes your boobs grow? well I’ll just wait till they grow and when I get my period. :/
I HATE my breasts. I’m an 30 A & im 18 yrs old and it sucks. All my older sisters are 34 C or 32 D. Idk why I’m so small???? My mom has big boobs like 34 DD. I didn’t start my period till I was 15 so am I sill growing?
i am jealous of girls with a-cups. i am around a c-cup and im 14 years old. i grow quicker than my peers, i’ve always have. i have an hourglass figure and wear a size 3/4. it sucks, i just want to be thin. i exercise, i used to alot, but not that much anymore. a size zero would be perfect. i am around 5’6, i run to tone up my body, but im still not thin. my only gulity food i eat is candy, like most teens. and on top of that i have become a vegetarian.
I’m almost 16 and I wear 32 A. My recently 22 year old sister somehow managed to get 36 D to DD. Our mom is only a B. My boobs are my boobs and I love them, but that doesn’t mean atleast beings a B cup wouldn’t make me happy.
Its backwards for me. I’m the youngest and my boobs are bigger than my sister’s. Some people think I’m older than her even. And she’s 22. I’m only 12!
I have an older half sister who is beautiful, half italian, and much bustier than I. The whole time I was growing up I was so sure that i would look like her eventually, however, though we have similar facial structures, I am pale while she is tan, and i have stringy blonde hair while she has thick dark hair. she never needs to wear makeup, but when i don’t I wash out completely. and on top of it all, I have no boobs. like, none. Im a 32a and age 20. I never thought that I would be told that stores only carry my size in the kids section, but they do. However, my sister and I are super close, and I recently learned that she has similar insecurities to mine, and compares herself to me since i’m thinner and leaner. Idk, I suppose that the point is that everyone is beautiful in there own away, and I’m sure that your sister envied what you had just how you did what she had.
im 11 and i have almost a b cup! technically i have 36 a’s but whatever!!! i used to feel kinda embarrassed becuz my friend Chelsea has almost c cups and she is 10…her 11th bday is just this week!! im not bothered becuz i know that they will grow! boobs usually stop growing around ages 18 -21…
yo story really did touch me..and im in ur same situation i have small a’s that everybbody makes fun of.I HATE IT!!!! and then my friend has huge boobs.i dont want her big of boobs at my age but i atleast wish i had b’s…the worst part is that she younger than me!!! i guess every girl grows at their own pace but i do wish the were bigger
I am in the same situation! My sister (being 2 months younger than me) has had a C cup ever since we were about 11 years old! I was an A cup, and still am! Whenever we are together, all the guys pay more attention to her, because of her boobs. I’ m starting to deal with it though, because even though she has a great body, everyone says im the one with the pretty face and the sense of humor!
hey,
I’m only 12 years old and i have a Acup.
I hate it so much. the worst part about it though is
that I’m super tall and super skinny….
You’re 12, they’ll grow.
Not necessarily. That’s what I don’t get, people who say things like this. Why do you think that some girls don’t have big boobs? BECAUSE they didn’t grow.
Well I have medium size breast but my boyfriend says I have big one…I don’t dislike them but I don’t like them either! I hope they will get bigger..Otherwise I have to get used of them! I’m still an adolescent so I still grow up!Don’t be jealous of other girls who have bigger breast…You must appreciate your body just the way it is!!Apart from this, every girl has to be not only different, but also she has to take care of herself and has a high self esteem!!This will help you be independent and ready to live your life without fears!!!!
Every woman should appreciate the cup size that she is because most of the time it fits your body shape. You can almost always tell when a woman has a boob job because most of the time it looks awkward. I wear DDs currently and was a D cup by the time I was a freshman in high school. Appreciate what you have…it was just mean to be!
By the time my mom was in high school, she was a 32DD. She said it was terrible, as I can imagine, especially since when she was a teen, companies didn’t make bras in that size. Her mom had to fork out a ton of money to buy from bra specialists. Now she is a 34DDD(F). While I don’t want to be that large, I want to be one or 2 cup sizes larger than a 32B. 32Cs and 32Ds don’t look uber large when I look at bras! I can’t be that jealous of my mom, seeing as her sisters didn’t grow boobs like that until they had babies and gained a ton of weight, and my grandma had a small chest until she was older and gained weight. They all keep telling me to wait til I have kids one day, then I’ll get big floppy jugs and wish I still had small boobs.
I’ve considered boobs jobs, but I know it’s only because I’m getting bad body image from the media. And I am very pear shaped, so I just wish my top half balanced out my bottom half!
I think the thing that annoys me the most is that any lingerie (that’s not over $100) or really cute bras go no lower than 34B sometimes, and the band is just too loose for me. It’s frustrating because I can’t have sexy bras!! XD
So I will just wait. See what happens to my body over time.
I’m almost 20 years old and before I turned 15, all I wanted was a bigger chest. But the summer before sophomore year, I finally had a real bra fitting and found out I was a 32 D. I started to feel self conscious By the Time I was a Junior I was a 32DD, and none of my uniform blouses or polos fit without making me look like I was not trying to get male attention in an online setting. Senior Year I had to make a prom dress that fit myself. And by the time I started college I was a 32F or DDD. Which is awful and I couldn’t buy swimsuits or blouses without feeling awkward and spending way more money than I can afford. I also only have 1 cute printed bra and have back problems.
Now, even though I would be *extremely* elated to suddenly drop down a cup size or 4, I’m starting to appreciate that I’ve been given, ahem, gifts, that many women pay thousands of dollars for. But if that winning lottery ticket comes around, reduction surgery will probably be in my cards.
So Be happy with the tiny Boob! I’m super jealous!
my sisters called me fat since I was 8. Seriously. It’s the worst thing. I wish sometimes I didn’t let it get to me, but with a 5’7 sister with the “ideal” to the media frame it’s hard.
I’m 5’1 and weigh 110, which isn’t htat bad considering my boobs have to account for some of that, and I got a J-Lo butt.
I haven’t taken it that hard lately, though. I’m starting up tennis again.
Plus, when I realized my sister used lots of products and padded bras to be ‘perfect’, I laughed.
Dude, this literally could have been written by my friend Morgan, no lie, she usedto do this to her sister Brina.
BTW, no matter how weird this sounds, you made me want to put my bra on my head to see if one cup would be enough to cover my head.
Yes! I’m 17 (soon to be 18) with size 32B boobs. I’ve always been a little jealous (or a lot) of my best friend, and my cousin who have double d’s. But, I’ve come to appreciate my body. I like being able to wear pretty much whatever I want. Also, being able to wear really cute bra’s is always great too. Gotta love what you got, especially before someone else can.
she did skip that stage.
My sister always made snarky comments about my body, still does on occasion. She was always the “pretty one” and these comments used to really hurt me. They still do, but I’ve come to realize that she says such things because she has such a poor body image herself.
For the record, I ended up having much larger breasts than she. She made a comment a few years ago that I had abnormally large areolae.
