When do most teenage girls develop a curvy(er) figure?

I'm already curvy and am 15 years old. Most girls my age are thin and have no curves. I do everything right yet I am not as thin. When do other teenage girls get curves in their life on average? I'm 5'2" and have curvy hips so I'm a little different then most of the girls I know who have no curves at all.

    I believe you answered your own question... You are different than other girls.

    Most girls physically develop between the ages of 9-11 years old. This includes getting the curvy hips, developing a chest, getting a cycle, and so forth. Whether you exercise or not, you are bound to be physically built a certain way based on genetics. I understand that you want to be thinner, but you are still in your developing stages at the age of 15. More than likely, if your physique is curvaceous, you will look that way whether you are thinner or not. The proportion of your chest to hips will always remain the same unless special factors change (i.e. having a baby, gaining a lot of weight).

    Embrace who you are as a person (physically) and as a young lady because there are some people who want to look just as beautiful as you are. There's nothing wrong with being curvy.

    A teenage girl has at least twice as much chance of being struck by lightning as she does of developing breast cancer. If it did happen, her case would make international news, and be written up in medical journals the world over. The chances are about one in a million for a girl aged 15 - 19; for girls younger than that no records exist. It's almost unheard of in under 20s, fewer than 0.1% of those diagnosed are under 30, and only 5% are under 40. If a very young woman does develop breast cancer, it is generally more aggressive and more difficult to treat successfully than that of an older woman.

    Hey, I got curves when I was 13, relax. Not fat, I'm still skinny. Just curvy. Little waist.

  • I am 13 and I am 5 foot 3 and am not fat but really curvy. I don't know why but it seemed like a few months before my period my hips got wider I got curvier. I don't know though. Its probably just body type.
