Girls don't put on muscle like males when they exercise. Bench pressing low amounts of weight for a girl is a really good thing to do. It firms up the chest and most guys like the look. Look at Demi Moore for an example of a woman who lifts weights. Looking like Demi Moore doesn't seem too bad???

If you're pressing 250 lbs 3 times resting for a minute and repeating once, especially with a wide hand stance, yes, it will bulk you up over time.
There are a few things you need to know about exercise:
Most women are slow to bulk up, so its not going to change you right away just to try it.
No exercise will itself bulk you up, keep you fit or really impact you at all. Any results are dependent on intensity, duration and frequency. To stay small, use low weight, high rep and high set.
The hand stance of bench pressing and the grip will effect the outcome.
What happens when a girl bench presses? The bar goes down and then it goes up. Beyond that, I need more details.
It SHOULD make your chest muscular, but that doesn't mean it will be bulky. You can be strong and slim. Muscle is FAR sexier than flab and being strong and fit can give a lot of confidence.
Try with just the bar at first, doing 9 reps in 3 sets.
The amount of muscle on your chest have no impact on your breast size. Loosing weight (fat) will impact your cup size, but a strong pec won't make you loose breast tissue, those it will keep your breasts looking perkier.

When girls bench press, their chests and upper body gets stronger. If you just do some minor weights it shouldn't make your breasts too small. So you don't have to worry.

Many female bodybuilders have pecs instead of breasts but this is because they are actively trying to make their chest this way by lifting heavy and eventually burning body fat to the point where their breasts shrink.
If you fancy having a go, just use a light weight.

It wouldn't make your chest necessarily bigger if you're a girl, but it will help your upper body strength.

The myth that girls dont fart gets broken....When they bench press, they do tend to break wind contrary to what some women believe.

yes but you would barley be able to notice. a womans breasts cover alot of the muscle so it shouldnt be a big factor.

It may make you a little perkier (is that even a word).
