I'm sorry if this is a little inappropriate, but I just want to know why I am so flat chested, and all my friends have very big breasts, is it because I am 68 pounds, at 5"4?

Yes; you are VERY underweight. Dangerously underweight, actually. You need to get at least to 100 lbs. to have enough fat on your body as a woman to pick up a "womanly" figure -- maybe 115 or 120.

How old are you? Perhaps you have not yet gone through puberty. Everyone is different and life progresses at a different pace for each person. What about your mother, sisters, etc.? Are they "flat" or do they have large breasts? This is very hereditary. However, assuming that you are at least 14-16 years old and have gone through puberty, including having several periods, then the most obvious reason for your underdeveloped breasts is probably your extremely low weight. If you are 5' 4" and only weigh 68 pounds, then you are very very underweight. It seems to me that you need to increase your body weight by at least 30-40 pounds to be "normal". If you gain even half of that amount, I am guessing that you will notice a huge increase in breast size. Try eating food....good food, not fatty junk food. Gain some weight and see what happens.

You didn't say how old you are, Katy, but IF you are still young, be patient. Girls AND boys mature at VERY different ages. You may just be a little slower than they are.
You don't have to have "Cs" to be ALL woman. Some men like large breasts and some like medium and some like small. I, personally, like them all. Soooo, don't let it worry you. I know it is a big thing with young girls, but some with the "Cs" may have to have them "reduced" because after gaining some weight and having babies, they get so heavy the bra straps cut into their shoulders. By the way, when a woman gains weight, the breast get a LOT of the "increase in size" of the woman. Perhaps you need to "gain a little weight". Later in life IF things don't grow, you can have them "enhanced" IF you want to. Good luck. Pops

First of all, I don't know you, but I am worried about you. You are far too thin for your height. The average for 5'4" is 120 pounds. So far as breasts are concerned, your breasts are your breasts--genetics, family traits, whatever you want to call it. You don't say your age--some girls develop around 12, others a little later. So age could be a factor as well as your being so thin. I know you mention your big breasted friends, but a lot of the women you see on TV and in the movies have implants. You should love yourself.

That is most likely the reason. You sould positively too thin. I'm your height (well 5ft 4.5in) and i'm 130 . If you want some boobs eat. They may not be as big as you like but they will grow. Also you can still be tiny and have boobs look at Natsume Rio she's a petite little thing but she has huge boobs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Natsume
I'd probably talk to your docter about your weight because it really is low. I checked your body mass index and it is 11.7 and 18.5 is underweight. so if you want those boobs your going to have to start gaining. wow you're 14 you really need to go to a doctor if your that small. i mean make a check up now.

68 lbs at 5'4 seems way underweight to me....but, I'm not sure if weight gain will help your flat chestedness. You should be happy you don't have a huge chest, as it makes it harder to fit into clothes. I used to hate my flat chest, but now that I'm older, I'm happy I have it! It took me a while to get to that point, after lots of ridicule through my junior-high and highschool years, but now that I'm adult, I know better than to listen to ridiculous people! In the meantime, eat some icecream!

Sometimes flat chests are genetic. In my family it runs to be short, with dark hair and a sizeable chest. I'm just like the rest of my family, and maybe you are like yours? It does sound like you need to put some effort into gaining weight though. 68lbs at 5'4 is not a healthy weight.

well it could have something to do with what you are eating. if you are 5'4"and only 68 lbs you most likly are not eating enough

Breast tissue is made mostly of fatty tissue and it sounds like you don't have much of that!!!
See a nutritionist!!

yes your percentage of body weight would contribute, also genetic would have a big impact also
