it could just be you hormones adjusting, this is common,no need to worry if your for sure your not pregnant - if your not sure though - get checked.. other then that, it could be something you eat, or you need laid. just honest

breast tenderness for WEEKS... you really should see a doctor.
from: http://www.wdxcyber.com/breast.htm
Breast pain - noncyclic or unilateral
Background - importance and magnitude of problem
Diagnostic goals - for overall category
acute mastitis
staphloccal
streptoccal (erysipelas)
plasma cell
trauma
hemorrhage
fat necrosis
sclerosing adenosis
thrombosis (Mondors syndrome)
infarction of adenofibroma during pregnancy
duct ectasia
costochondral joint inflammation (Tietze's syndrome)
Background
Except for infectious conditions of the breast associated with nursing an infant, most breast infections are relatively uncommon. A sudden thrombosis or infarction is usually related to trauma or surgery but can occur spontaneously.
Goals
In general, malignant processes of the breast do not present with breast pain, therefore most of these conditions are treated medically rather than surgically. With an infectious condition of the breast, it is important to initiate early treatment so that generalized cellulitis does not turn into an abscess cavity that will require surgical drainage. Inflammatory carcinoma of the breast is a malignancy that can present like breast infection. If such a suspected infection does not quickly resolve with antibiotics, further diagnostic studies must be carried out.

I had that yrs ago, and my doctor told me to slack up on caffine. Also certain medications can affect the tenderness of your breast. I know one of my old Allergy meds I took did, and I told my doctor I quit taking it and the tenderness went away. But , yeah do try to cut back on caffine, it makes a big difference. Hope this helps some!

if you have been working out more than normal or not wearing a bra when moving about a lot that can make them tender

If you are still adolescent it is just growth and high hormone levels. You know growth and development.But in your next visit ask you Doctor.

You say you are not pregnant, but it sure sounds like one of the symptoms to me.
