I remember being that age myself, and doctors and family members are generally unsupportive, tell them to stop worrying about something so 'silly'.

But the low self esteem they may be feeling is still there, and although I agree, I don't want this board to be full of teens, but we were once them and don't feel that we should turn our back on them, or worse, if they can't ask questions they could be in danger of starting PM, rather than being directed to massage, eat right and not smoke, etc.

I think a forum esp for them could be good, to keep them off boards for adult discussions, but in giving them a board, are we encouraging them to join?

I don't think we should encourage them to join, but have a bit of understanding. I was teased MERCILESSLY through high school for having the tiny boobs I still had at 32 years old. They started at 13, then just stopped. So wish someone had told me to massage, I may not be here now taking herbs.

Well of course I can relate. I never blossomed. I got teased too. It hurt but let me tell you, I have no regrets, boys are disgusting at that age. Young women do not need breasts to identify them.

You also have to remember, they ARE KIDS. I think 18 is great age for the mind to comprehend further on how the body works. They are their own adults and can make there own decisions and don't have to sneak around.

But yeah, I am for their own forum to help enhance their already growing bodies with massage and really nutritious diet. No matter what, they cannot be compared to adults. Their bodies are different than us and I can see how nbe protocols are misconstrued when they want to get on the band wagon asking all sorts of questions about how to grow their breasts.
