I'm 15,a a C cup, guess now my breasts have stopped growing. I'm not fat at all, I swim, I'm in good shape, but anyway sometimes I have back pain. The straps of my bras usually like dig into my flesh. My mom says I need a bra with much support, thick material, that covers a lot of my breasts, have wide bands and clip in the back with several rows of hooks, 4 or 5. I hope she's wrong, but she's usually right and I know she wants my best. Unfortunately, because I'm almost sure those bras are hot and uncomfortable, probably make you sweat alot, especially in the heat. Well, will I have wear them? Am I stuck with them?

You probably will. By the way. breasts don't stop growing until you are in your 20s.

Nope, you're not stuck with the "full-figure" bras. A C-cup is still safely in the "average" category, so you can find plenty of pretty bras with medium straps and only two or three hooks.
Yes, you will need a bra that offers an underwire and plenty of support - you won't be able to wear the thin little scraps of fabric that your A- and B-cup friends wear, but neither do you need to go to the other extreme of the full-coverage granny bras.
Go for a fitting at your local department store, and try on every bra in your size. You can definitely find a nice range of supportive bras without going to either extreme.

As someone who has lived with this problem for many years, I'd agree with your mother. The only thing that will stop the back pain is proper support. There are places you can go to actually be fitted for one, but if you look for something that says "posture bra" or "support bra", you can probably find something that works. I know it's not the sexiest thing, but the backaches make it real unpleasant to try to be sexy. I prefer the front hook bras myself, since the straps on them usually stay up better. And I don't think they are any hotter than other bras, and you'll find them very comfortable when you get the right one.

Me too. Look for underwire bras. Also, trade out every few days with racerbacks. That will really help with the dents in your shoulders. You can get what is called full coverage bras. You can find them in cotton and all kinds of other fabrics. Pick the coolest and most comfortable for you. AND...try them on at the store, otherwise you will end up with ones that don't fit right.
Bras for us buxom gals usually cost a little more, but you are lucky because when I was your age they only had white granny-looking bras for me. Now you can get real sexy and comfortable ones in all kinds of colors!
Good luck and try to have fun with this!!!

Not necessarily. My advice is to go somewhere like Victoria Secret, get fitted, and buy a nice bra. You may have to pay more however the quality makes a huge difference. You only get one set of breasts so take care of them and splurge a little financially... its worth it.
I was that size then and now that I am pregnant, I have had to move into the ugly bra's you were explaining

You should go to Victoria Secret. They will find you the perfect size and a bra that fits right, is comfortable and looks good too. Good Luck!
