note: found on a web site not my knowledge14-year-old Scared about Breast CancerQUESTION: I am only 14 years old, but I am really scared that I might have or get Breast cancer. How can I tell if I do or if I will have it later in life?
ANSWER: I am sorry that you are living with this anxiety. At age 14, your risk of getting breast cancer is practically zero. As you grow older and make your way through the ups and downs of adolescence, your breasts will be growing and responding in all kinds of new ways to the hormones in your body. All of these changes can be confusing-as well as exciting. Think over where your fear is coming from. If there is a lump in your breast or an area of concern, then ask your doctor to check it out for you. If you are worried by a friend or family member affected by the disease-your concern is a natural compassionate response to her suffering. You may feel overwhelmed by all of the information out there about breast cancer, at a time of your life when you want to enjoy your new figure and not be bombarded with this information. Whatever it is, talk it through with someone you trust, and help identify what will help you get more peace of mind.

yes, you can, breast cancer can develop at a very young age.
Cancer can affect anyone, but it is usually in older people when their cells are more likely to malfunction. You can get a mammary test if you have any concern.
Yes, but extremely unlikely. People will tell you that it can happen at any age, and theoretically it can, but the chances of you having at 14 are something like one in a million.
It is possible for a 13 year old to get breast cancer, although people are much less likely to get breast cancer at such an early age.
It is possible. If you are concerned you should tell a parent/guardian/adult you trust and go to your GP.
Its theoretically possible, but the actual chances are incredibly remote.
I'm not sure, but i'd ask a close female adult and talk to them and then go to a doctor
Theoretically it's possible, just like anything. But I would be absolutely flabbergasted if you had breast cancer at 14.
Getting breast cancer has nothing to with wearing a bra.
BREAST CANCER :-)
It would be very rare, but it is possible. Breast cancer is not bounded by gender or age.
