okay to go braless?
Basically i hate wearing bras all the time. I'm size 30B/C (which is tiny) and 17 years old, i'm pretty sure i've stopped growing. I just dont see the point in wearing a bra as my boobs don't cause me any bother at all and I've read in many places that there is no actual medical reason for bras, and I already spend most of the time in my house with no bra. I just want to know what everyone thinks of going braless?

There is generally a stigma against going braless because of nipple visibility or seeing breast movement. If you are comfortable with it go ahead. You may get some questionable looks but most people are not really going to care to probably notice even. If you don't feel comfortable with your nipples showing perhaps just a simple bralette would be fine.
Also, your breasts may keep growing well into your twenties. I continued to develop in my early 20s and my 23yo friend just had a boob growth spurt.

I think it is more healthy to go without a bra. The band of a bra sits on your diaphragm, which needs to expand freely for you to breathe really well.
Dress modestly and no adult should have a problem with your choice of clothing. Infantile men sometimes do.
There are articles written about the simultaneous rise of the structured bra and increase in breast cancer rates, btw. The theory is that the lymph glands in under arm are compressed by the strong stretch fabrics used in bras nowadays...
Please make the choice that feels right to you. Social fashions in clothing change all the time. the only sensible thing is to choose your own way of living that is healthy and suits you.

Personally, I wouldn't. In an ideal world, people wouldn't judge your respectability on whether or not they can see the outlines of your nipples or your breasts bouncing... but we live in this world and there are people who absolutely will decide that you can be treated badly because of that. And it's not going to be all men who are judging you either, women can be just as nasty. A 30B/C isn't at all small, btw.

Yes it's better for you like you said. The only thing to worry about is social stigma. But you shouldn't worry too much about what others think, plus it's impossible to please others anyway no matter what you wear. Something to cover the nipples might be a little bit nice, especially on cold days, since that seems to be a bigger deal to most people. Other than that it's hopeless to please everyone anyway so I wouldn't bother.

You ae correct, there is no medical reason to wear a bra. If you feel safe to do so, stop wearing a bra.
Even though your breasts are on the smaller side, you should still support them during exercise with a sport bra, and a sexy bra can make you feel sexy and self confident on special occasions.
Take care!

Hell yeah, it's okay.
Honestly, we guys find it hot. :P
Plus, bras are bad for your breasts. Makes them more saggy when you're older because the muscles don't develop.
Go for it, haha. :)

A 30 waist is tiny. B/C is not. Seriously...thanks for making me feel like ****. :( I'm a C. That's not TINY. It's just right, imo.

I agree with Miss A....you really should wear one for support, and no you are still going to grow until At LEAST The age of 23.
