Is it possible to have breast cancer at the age of 14? if so, what are some good ways a telling if you do, and does it increase the chance of getting it if youve never worn a bra?
PLEASE HELP.

Yes, it is very possible to get breast cancer as a teenager but it's very rare for that to occur.
The way to tell if something is out of the ordinary with your breast is to do a breast exam.
I would recommend talking to your mom about this as well as your doctor when you see them next time.

You don't describe the problem that is worrying you? Is it a lump? Is it painful? Red? Hot? Is there a discharge from the nipple?
I have never seen cancer of the breast in a teenager in 20 years of medical practice. Remeber that there are normal changes to breasts that go with puberty and with the monthl hormone cycle. Breasts often feel swollen and tender just before your period when, because of hormones, your breasts retain fluid.
Lumpy breasts are common in girls and women and are usually benign. However, if you are worried, go and see a doctor that is what they are there for. Even though you have very little to worry about at your age, a visit to your family doctor will reassure you and give the doctor an opportunity to show you how to examine your breasts and that is something that could save your life when you get really old like in your 30's!!

talk to mum sweetie, if not mum then an auntie of ask to see the nurse at the doctors, or a family planning clinic they will help you, i honestly can not say yes or no but talk to some one, and get it check, it may be a bruise, you just have to think have you banged or hit something, is it sore? Have you had a period before, these are all things that may be associated,
Please talk to a female, dont let this stress you out at this time of year, you are young, enjoy life but TALK TO SOMEONE GET IT CHECKED

nearly impossible
if you think you have it then do a proper check& if you find anything strange go to the doctors..he'll give you an ultra sound and show you weather you have it or not ..he'll also explain breast cancer to you. Do your genetics carry it?(anyone of close blood relations to you?) If not then it is highly unlikely you'll get it.
Check away..http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/women/reproductive/breast/018.html
