No Way To Boost Bust Size

Q. I’m in 8th grade and have a very small chest size. This wouldn’t bother me, except that lots of other girls in my grade have large B and C cup sizes. I have heard that eating lots of chicken helps increase breast size. I’ve also heard that rubbing mayonnaise on them works too. Do these methods work, and if not, what could I do?
A. Neither chicken nor mayonnaise will increase breast size. Ads for herbal products may sound appealing, but there is no evidence that they would work. If they did, they might not be safe for a young person.
Although some girls develop early, others may take several years longer to mature physically. There’s no way to tell in the eighth grade what your physique will be like when you grow up.
