Bras: Should I Wear One?

Bra or bare? Why do women wear bras? Should you?

Whether to wear a bra or not, at any stage of development or at any age, is a personal decision. If you're starting to develop breasts and you want to wear a bra, you may want to talk to your mom or an older female relative or friend about possibly getting one.

Some girls like to get training bras as soon as they start developing breasts so they can get used to what it feels like to wear a bra. A training bra can also help cover up your nipples, which may stick out and become more noticeable as your breasts begin to grow.

Depending on how big your breasts are, you might want to get a sports bra too, for gym class and any team sport (except swimming).

Just like breasts, bras come in all different shapes and sizes and different bras can make your breasts look bigger or smaller. It all depends on what you want.

Bribri:
Have you tried telling your mom why you think you need a real bra? Maybe have you heard her reasons for not wanting you to get one? If you've already done that, and she still won't let you, try comprimising with something else, like a sports bra. If you act like an adult, maybe your mom will treat you like one. If your mom still isn't big on the idea, you can even buy a camisole with a built-in bra to cover up.

my boobs are as fla as a pancake but they are round and starting to form..im like in 7th grade and i am 12 and i had my period scince last year and they didnt even grow plus scince majority of my class is cocasion(no affensene)all of them make fun of me for my tiny breast and braces 2 which i hate..even the boys laugh at me but wwhen i asked my mom if i could get a real bra she said no . i think she knows if i get a real one my boobs will look bigger. I told her why and she still said no. Also because my nipples point out and i need a padded/pushup bra. But my parents always treat me so babyish cause im the youngest and there only daughter. Plus i dont even know my own bra size...And the thing i hate most of all is that when i look into her bra draw it has pushups,padded,and theres even some jelly thibg that makes your boobs look bigger.(Lol). But can anyone help me answer back a.s.a.p.

All the time. I record shows or start them late, then fast forward past the ads.
