Why are my breasts pointy?

Q)I'm almost 15 years old. I am concerned with the shape of my breasts. I've seen pictures of other women's breasts and they are always round, but mine are pointy? Will they change shape as I get older? Is there anything I can do to make them round?

A)

All breasts are different. The size and shape of your breasts are determined by heredity, body size, fat distribution, etc. The shape of your breast will probably change as you get older, but even if they don't, try not to compare yourself to other people.
