Maturation is genetically determined, although your environment plays a role. I am 14 and mother says that I don't grow much after 15. Thanks, Gabby Dear Gabby, Breast development is usually determined by genetics. Look at your mom, grandmoms and any sisters or aunts you may have. You will look like them more than you look like your friends.
Most girls continue growing breasts for a year or two after they start menstruating.
Iris Dear Iris, I recently got my period and do not know how to tell my mom. She has tampons, and I used them, but they were in her bathroom, and I don't think she knows I used them. I don't know how to tell her. She mentioned that I would probably start soon, but I don't know how to tell her that I actually have. Thanks, KT Dear KT, I always thought telling your mom face to face is the way to go.
