Dear Steph,
Yes, 16 can be a confusing age! Your body is going through so many changes it is hard not to get insecure about it. The best thing you can do is to embrace your curves and changes in your body, and not try to hide them. If you try to hide them by squishing down your boobs or wearing clothes that are too small or constrictive, it will only make your curves and boobs more obvious.
And you said you have been sick off and on, so I’m not sure what sickness you are referring to, but most of the time it wont interrupt your physical growth and development too much. If you continue to be concerned talk to your doctor about it and if there is anything he can do to help you develop properly.
So maybe it’s time for some new clothes that fit you better not that your body has changed. Since your sixteenth birthday is coming up, see if you mom will take you shopping for some cute bras and clothes that embrace your new beautiful body!?!
I hope this helps! Good luck sweetie!
xoxo
