An Australian mother whose breasts haven't stopped growing since she was eight-years-old has opened up on how hard her life has been for the last 15 years. Sheridan Larkman, 23, from Victoria's Trafalgar now lives with size K breasts, and fears her breasts will keep growing, if she doesn't have surgery soon. The mum-of-two revealed that she'd had DD-cup breasts since the age of 10, and said her life as a young teenager had been profoundly difficult.

In certain conditions, some girls start way earlier or way later than that. But for girls with a normal growth and development curve, puberty will start during their middle school or high school years. During puberty, there is a natural increase in the hormone estrogen in the body. This is the hormone responsible for the dramatic changes that you are experiencing during adolescence, including your growing breasts. You may notice a lot more changes happening in your body, but breast development is usually the first thing you and everyone else would take note of.
We respect your privacy. Wearing the right bra, learning about breast care and how to do self-exams, maintaining a healthy weight, and skipping cigarettes and alcohol are essential to breast health, even for teenagers. But if you're a typical teen , your first concern is just whether you have "normal" breasts.
