BooBs: A Guide to Growing Girls
When am I going to get boobs? Will it hurt? Are mine normal?
Never fear, the Boob Fairy is here. Armed with her trusty truth-telling wand, Elisabeth Squires answers these and other questions in her new book, BooBs: a Guide to Growing Girls.
As a teenager, I have had many jokes cracked about my large "breasticles" from immature boys. I've had breasts since I was in the 3rd grade; I bloomed young and large and many of the boys I've known since then have always made jokes about it.

Me getting breasts was terrible because I don't have any...I always get made fun of cause my boobs are smaller than all of my friends! Getting my first bra was exciting but of course when I had to change in front of everyone they all laughed cause it was a training bra. They weren't the same size as my mom and she didn't want to give me advice cause she didn't even want me to get a bra!
