How to ask my mom if i can wear a bra?
ok first off... im 13! and i think my boobs are big enough for a bra. my mom and i are not super close especially in this area because when i was littler i got it in my head that i was ready for all this stuff and i think it freaked her out. i have other reasons for wanting bras other than i think i should. One is that we go horseback riding a lot and its really uncomfortable to bounce up and down. the other is that i dance and i feel self conscious in my leos. p.s. she has seen me once wear a black bra i have (that came with a shirt) under my leo and she hasn't said anything... help!

hahahahah its always an awkward situation. Just treat it as a casual topic, because it is. Bras are a given to a teenage girl, and your mom knows that because she had to do buy her first bra with her mom too. While your at the mall, just say you want to go into Aerie, Victoria Secret, or where ever you want to go to get bras. If she asks why, just say you feel you need more support and coverage when going to school, dancing, and riding horses. I'm sure she'll understand. Don't make it a big deal and sit down to talk to her about the matter because you'll feel silly discussing such a simple topic.
I'm 13 too, and when I was 11, I just picked one up and told her I need one. She understood and bought it. Once you do it, you'll get used to buying these kind of stuff with her.

Well, if you happen to go out shopping with your friends, you can buy one by yourself if you have the money, you dont really have to ask her. If you're kind of embarassed about this then I guess you should just imply or give her hints that you need a bra. Hints like buying camis and tanks with bras inside of them, maybe then she will understand. Also, maybe when you're with her say " do you think I am ready for one" or something like that to just give her a hint. Don't be nervous, maybe rehearse what you're going to say a couple days before you decide to ask her.Drop a few hints. Say things like "Mom, this shirt is too tight!" or "I need a tank top under this shirt.". Or you could even purposely try on small shirts at the mall and she'll realize you need one. If you're not nervous, just go ask her, she wont get mad! good luck!

your mom should've came to you once you started to develop.
I am still flat A-cup and I am in my 20s but I still have to wear a bra even though I'm flat.
I started to wear a bra when my nippies were developing cus they were showing through my shirts and that was in 4th grade. Of course it was like a tiny bra lol
Tell your mom, mom I need to start bra shopping to get support because my chest is hurting while I run or horseback ride.
Does she like not like the idea of you wearing a bra? Or is it just that you two just don't find it comfortable to talk about that?

you're definitely old enough for one, i've been wearing one since i was 11. just tell her the reasons you feel you need one (which are very legitimate, plus, you are 13) and ask her to take you somewhere that you can pick out a few together.. maybe that will help you become closer too!

You are most certainly old enough. I'm thirteen and i've been wearing one since i was eleven. Just be like: "Ma/Mom/Mother/Mommy/Momma(whatever you call her) I'm 13 now! I'll be going to highschool soon! Can i get some bras?"
