Can a 15 year old get a breast reduction?

July 11, 2014
Asked By:aaprr in Charlotte, NC

I'm 15 and I'm 5'4 and 125lbs. My breast size is 32DDD. They cause me a lot of pain in my neck, shoulders, and back. It's hard to exercise because they are annoying and I have a sore back. I love playing volleyball but I can't now because of the pain. Being small around and having a big cup makes it hard to find something that fits right. I'm self-conscious. I hate when guys talk to me just because I have big breasts. I have already talked to my mom. I know I need to talk to my doctor also.
