Hi! The bumps are likely to just be because of puberty, but if you are worried, go and see your doctor. It is important to start doing breast exams yourself even at your age, as breast lumps can happen even when you are fairly young. I'm not trying to scare you, just help you to become aware of the facts. I hope this helps you, and if it doesn't, post again and I'll try to answer. Bye! AmyAngel I'm not a doctor, but I've read almost everything to do with women's health.
