I feel shier and more selfconscious

The main thing media has taught me about breasts is that they seem really important to men. Thus lacking in them has made me very self-conscious and might be a reason why I'm shy.

I feel self-conscious even saying the word breasts and i avoid saying it out loud, especially when guys are around. In my head I think that if i say it or make any suggestion that guys are attracted by breasts I'll get a kind of rebuff from someone saying "well we're not interested in your boobs, don't worry"

I am very slim so I'm not totally out of proportion, and I'm still learning how to dress myself the right way. There are some benefits - i think it's easier to dress in higher fashion with a smaller chest.

I'm 17 and I've been jealous of my 14 year old sister this summer for having a bigger bust than me. It's mainly depressing because while we were on holiday people react with shock when they hear how old I am - part of my young look is small boobs. And looking so young puts me firmly out of the 'hot girl' category.

In my classes I don't like looking around and knowing I have the smallest breasts in the room. I think i'd feel sexier if men drooled over women who didn't all have amazing breasts, people like Keira Knightley. I hate the idea of my boyish figure being a turnoff to guys.

Despite all this, I would never get surgery. I just need confidence boosting really, because I hate looking young for my age, it stops older guys and boys my age being interested in me.
