actually, it is important. as i mentioned earlier, it can help you detect early signs of breast cancer.
breast cancer that can kill you.
and if it's caught early on, it might be easier to get rid of.

sure, you can do that, but you only see a doc about every six months. you should be checking every month to make sure u don't get breast cancer.

Ok. I wasn't sure because I didn't know if I could even get breast cancer at 13.5. So how do I give myself a self breast exam?

yes, it's important. doing those exams can let you know of warnings of breast cancer.

Well, it's not that I *want* to, I just want to know if it's important to. I don't go to the gyno, cause I'm not sexually active, nor 18, and I'm not about to ask my mom to take me to a gyno.

i do it every once in awhile...just to make sure there aren't any lumps anywhere...i don't want cancer!
and it would be good for you to try it too. i don't think there's any specific age you should start...just around the time you start mensturating.

i personally do not give myself one. if you go to the gyno they give you one though. ive gone and theyve done it everytime. i think im going to ask more about it when im 18. thats the age i heard you should start. not completely sure, but if you want to give yourself one look up directions on google. you will be able to find out.
