For some girls, when their period is on, their breasts may feel tender. Diet, nutrition, hormones, retaining water, and excess weight can also trigger breast tenderness. However, if this only seems to occur around the time of your monthly cycle, that is probably what is causing it. Believe me, it is completely normal! However, if they are really bothering you, and ALL THE TIME, you should talk to your mom or an older female. They can help you out and let you know if you may need to visit a doctor or not.
All girls go through periods and most of the things that seem to bother us are perfectly normal. Tender breasts during periods happens to be one of them.
If you want to ease the pain, you may want to try:
1. Wrapping a bag of crushed ice in a towel and placing them on your breasts.
2. Using a heated pad or a heated towel for 15 to 20 minutes at a time or until the pain has eased

I am 12 too, and I have been experiencing the same thing for about a year now, because my boobs developed early. I think women's boobs are just always tender to the touch, no matter how old you are, or if your on your rag. Like I said, I developed a little early in the chest area, but didn't get my period until this summer, so obviously it has nothing to do with that. Its just something that every girl has to deal with.
Hope I helped!(:

Your boobs will probably be sore every time you have a period or about to get your period. Most girls do experience tenderness in their breasts.. Plus you're probably growing too.
