" &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m pretty happy with my body, but my chest is way too small. I get really embarrassed about wearing bikinis because I can barely fill them. I keep thinking that if I had fuller breasts, I would be completely satisfied and confident with my body. Is this how I should think?&amp;quot; \u2014 Julie, 16, Leavenworth, KS  Hi Julie \u2013 I can&amp;#039;t say I totally understand what it&amp;#039;s like to have a smaller chest but I can tell you that the key to accepting all of our sizes is to learn how to dress them appropriately. There are so many options nowadays in swimwear to get a suit that compliments or flatters a smaller chest. It&amp;#039;s normal to always want what we don&amp;#039;t have \u2013 but I wouldn&amp;#039;t buy into the belief that once you had bigger boobs you&amp;#039;d be &amp;quot;completely satisfied and confident&amp;quot;. That&amp;#039;s the trap I think most of us fall into which is believing that if our bodies were different our lives would magically be better. I do think confidence is a combination of what&amp;#039;s on our inside matching what&amp;#039;s on our outside. So my advice for now would be continue to be your killer self- buy a bikini that rocks the body you have \u2013 and find satisfaction in your friends, your hobbies, school or your family.
