I would firmly suggest that you go to JCPenney and have one of the fitting experts in the lingerie department help you pick the right bra for you. There are other stores that will do the same, but Penney's is the least expensive and has a great assortment.
My breasts are the same size as yours and I understand how you feel. The most important thing is to find the style that lifts your breasts and with wide padded straps that take the pressure off your shoulders. They will be very happy to fit you properly at Penney's or Macy's.
BTW, there are also custom undergarment shops that will make you a bathing suit that will give you the support you want and make you feel less self-conscious about your body. You might want to check them out and put that on your Christmas wish list. The suits are a little expensive, but they really are worth it.
And FWIW, the guys aren't turned off by your breasts at all. It's just the fact that they're paying attention to them at all that makes it uncomfortable. In 10 years you'll understand that it's a good thing and that you can be comfortable in your own body.

I'm with the other posters who said to go to a store like JC Penneys, Macys, Marshall Field etc and have a professional fitter help you.
I may seem a bit embarrassing, but it will be well worth your while to go.
Oprah did a show about how some significant number of women do not have the correct bra size.
The fitters should also be able to help you find a swim suit that flatters your figure and gives you the support you need.
I would suggest that you consider talking to your physician. I have two friends who have had breast reduction surgery and they are very pleased with their results. This is a procedure you might want to consider when you are a little older. And, if you have health issues because of your size the procedure may be covered by your insurance.
best,

well first of all your probably not a 38D, i thought i wore a 38D and then i saw oprah's amazing show on how to find the right bra....appearently i wear a 32 DD....this all comes from oprah.com
All women lose firmness as they get older—so do their bras. "When you buy a bra," Susan says, "make sure it fits you in the loosest hook. That way you can tighten the bra to the second and third hook as the bra ages and retain the firmness and the lift."
Where to Wear Your Bra
According to Susan, the perfect position for your breasts is midway between your shoulders and your elbows. And your bra should be level front to back. Susan says most women wear their bra bands too high on their torsos and throw their measurements off. "Most women," Susan says, "keep going up in the back [increasing their band size] instead of getting a deeper cup. We want to keep the back lean and small so we can lift the bust. [The bra band is] like a bridge, if it's properly planted at the base, it can lift."
Susan says there are obvious clues your bra is the wrong size:
If your cups runneth over, it's time to go up a cup size.
If your cups dimple, it's time to go down a cup size.
If you have the dreaded back fat, you probably think your bra is too tight, but you're wrong—your bra is too big. Wearing the bra lower on your back with a smaller band size will completely eliminate the back fat.
If your strap falls down, that means your bra band is riding up and you probably need to go down a band size.
its a REALLY easy concept, try this before you try anything drastic. trust me, boys just like boobs in general. my boobs are droopy too and my boyfriend LOVES them! no worries :)

Now, I have small breasts, so this is not from personal experience, but I have a friend who has something like 36DDD, and the only bras she buys are Olga brand bras, because she said they were the most supporting, and they had a lot of "lift". They also are very pretty, I've seen that for myself, so try that brand next time you buy a bra!
I know a lot of people are pushing reduction surgery, and if you have back problems, you might want to look into it, but if you are self-conscious without physiological difficulties, than I urge you not to do it. Any surgery on your breast can cause loss of feeling in nipples and breast tissue, making your breasts numb, and ensuring that you won't be able to get sexual pleasure from them when you do find a boyfriend. (that's why I, with 32A breasts, am avoiding breast enlargement surgery!) I hope that instead of going to extreme measures, you will be able to begin to love your breasts and your body for what it is! Large breasts are not cute and perky like Cameron Diaz's, but they are shapely and beautiful like Scarlett Johansen's. Just think of yourself as extra-womanly! Talk to your friends or your Mom (if you're close to her)about how you feel about your breasts and your body, and try your hardest to love them and think positive things about them. It's important to make the effort to love your body in today's world where women are supposed to always be exchanging their natural features for something "better", and I hope you'll be able to gain confidence in what you look like naturally! (As an added bonus, to address your fears that men won't like them, as someone who has been unceremoniously dumped for a woman with big boobs, I can assure you men will not have an issue youth your large breasts.) Good luck!

i'm 15 and going through the same thing. i refuse to wear a swimsuit and have never slept through the night without a bra.
i wear a 36DD and am going for a consultation for breast reduction surgery next week. think about whether surgery is right for you or if you just need a better bra. if deemed medically necessary, insurance will cover most of the expenses for surgery. if you never stop grwing like my mom did, you could end up paying for expensive custom bras and suffer from intense back pain. whatever you decide to do, think about your health, future and your future children.

i quite would propose getting her equipped for a bra which will help her breasts more desirable, get a clean physician and ask them for some ideas, i in my opinion would not be recommending surgical treatment for an 11yr previous, I had enormous breasts also at a tender age and became very selfconcious of them on the time yet then I grew some extra and then all my acquaintances finally began to strengthen and all of it appeared no longer so undesirable. in the journey that your daughter is overweight to boot it would look worse so that you want to save her lively possibly a distinct sport particularly of gymnastics...yet quite a sturdy bra is going alongside way in helping breasts.
