    Question

    I am 18 years old and haven't even started to develop breasts, am I going to grow?

    Answer

    We usually say, it will happen on its own time, and you should check with parents about their own age, but if you do not have breasts by 18 you should see a doctor and discuss other markers for puberty - periods, etc... And make sure there are no hormones required.
