If you listen to everything everyone says about you (or even everything you THINK everyone is saying about you) your head is going to spin so fast and furiously, it’ll fall off! 😆 In other words, when someone says something to you and/or about you, [i]consider the source[/i].
There will always be someone who says you’re beautiful, ugly, flat chested, big busted — and you have to find your own inner compass. 😀 This isn’t easy when your’e a teenager because your body is changing quickly, and you’re probably looking around for assurances that you fit in. It sounds like you have some positive reinforcement in your life — so if these are good people, listen to what they’re saying. The fact that you have a boyfriend that you like, means that someone thinks you’re amazing. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be with you.
And remember: breasts come in all shapes and sizes (as do other body parts, including those on men), so enjoy what you have, and if you want to push them up, dress them up or show them off, consider various kinds of bras. As for movie stars, trust me — they have their own body pressures that you should be grateful you don’t! And you’ll find lots of beautiful actress and celebrities with small breasts like Keira Knightly, Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson, Cheryl Crowe, etc. But the bottom line is that you’re 16 years old, and your body is still growing. Relax. Enjoy your life. Get out of your own head and stop thinking about yourself and your body so much.
Instead, go volunteer in a hospital or a homeless shelter or an animal shelter so you can put things in perspective and understand that everybody has a body, so keep it healthy, enjoy it, and don’t focus too much on it. And if you can’t help BUT focus on it, focus on how it works so well — take up a sport, play a club game like volleyball or softball — or go dancing! No body is perfect and beauty is sometimes in the imperfections (think Cindy Crawford’s mole) that set us apart. 😀
