  • Your mom is correct. She is the final authority on such matters for 6 more years.
  • That's why mom knows best.
  • There's a reason you still fit into kiddie bras from Limited 2 - you are still very young! I would not allow my 12 year old to have a push-up bra, either.
  • Why are you thinking of this at age 12. Slutty should not even be in your vocabulary. I understand wanting to be grown up but believe me enjoy your childhood let your mom make the decisions. You will have enough to make later in life.
  • don't rush it...trying to look older, more devloped can sometimes get you into things that no 12 year old should. mom knows best..be patient and don't try to grow up too fast..you have to rest of your life to be an adult just enjoy being 12 while you can
  • I'd go out with some friends and buy one. Many younge girls have push up bras. It's normal. It's immature to be saying it isn't. It's funny how someone thinks a certain undergarmet should have an age limit.
  • I think that if Your Bras you are wearing now make you look weird then you should let you mom know this. She probley does not know. You just need a new one Probley not a push up but none the less there are many out there that would fit properly and make you feel like a young lady too. Your mom would most likely love to do something like to go shop with you for this. You are growing up. this is a major time for mom/daughter time to bond I would think. A push up does not just give you shape it gives cleavage. at 12 you are more shaping your chest not trying to enhance it yet. If you shape it right (right bras for you) then you probley wont have to enhance it for a long time.
  • That just happened to me! i was wearing kiddy bra's from limited 2 and i asked my mom for a padded bra and she got me four! Trust me mom's are really nice about this! they know that you want to grow up!
  • Do you really have anything to push-up? Maybe push-up is not quite what you're looking for. I'd ask your mom to take you to Victoria's Secret or Nordstroms and have a good fitting. The sales ladies can help you find the right bra that you are comfortable with and won't drive your mom around the bend.
  • Christ, at 12 years old all we were interested in was climbing trees, jumping in rivers and having a good time Where has innocence gone?
  • I wouldn't rush it either but I did take my daughter to Victorias Secrets to buy her first bras! It made her feel pretty and it was done just as an extra treat for her...I still bought her bras from kmart and the likes... A young girl ejoys the feeling of feminity as much as we grown women...Nothing wrong with a pretty dainty bra for a beautiful young girl! It doesnt have to be a plung bra or very revealing... Maybe I was too permissive to some of you but we still look back on the experience and share a smile!
  • She's right, honey, a push-up bra on a 12 year old is slutty. So are thongs and low cut jeans. In fact alot of the stuff out there is still slutty on adults. And as your mother she's has final say over what you wear.It's her job to make sure that you learn what is and isn't approprate for you. And if you know she doesn't like this just let it alone. However if the bras are uncomfortable you probelly are wearing the wrong size and support level and need to get new ones. As well as properly fitted. What I'm suspecting here is that it's not so much the fit of the bra, but that you want to be like the other girls. And that saddens me to no end that you think you have to dress like a trollop to fit in. to me it's a sin and a shame that you think the way you look is more important then who you are. Take it from me these clothing choices won't make you any happier. They will just invite trouble. Stick to what is comfortable and is approperate for your age. And stop trying to grow up so fast. You're regret it in the end. And this coming not only from a mother, but someone who was young once too. I know exactly what you are going through. I had the same body enevy at 12 that you have now. Only mine was worse because at 12 I hadn't even started to develope. I wasted so much of my time worring about the fact that I didn't look like all the other girls that I made myself sick. Please, talk to your mom. She wil be glad to help you. After all she is your mother and that's what she's here for.
  • Even if you have the best rack in all of the world, you are much too young to do that. if all 12 year olds start wearing push up bras the only thing that is going to happen is the petifile number will skyrocket up. Whos attention are you trying to get really? Its not like you getting one for comfort. Am i wrong?
  • i was in your same position when i was around the same age. i was all 'oooh i want a push up bra' but when i tried one on i realized how weird it looked to be 11/12 years old and be wearing one. if anything you just need a different type of bra. tell her that the bras make you feel uncomfortable (thats how i felt). i told my sister & she took me to macys or kohls or one of those places. try on a bunch of different sizes and see what feels best. dont get one with 'hard' cups or it will look fake and then classmates will accuse you of padding..lol it happned to me :-P kinda like the idea of the bra they show on the main page of that section of the limited too site. http://www.limitedtoo.com/sublanding/17 i looked but icouldnt find that actual bra. but something with a soft cup not a hard one. .. i stopped wearing 'kiddy' bras also becase i was self conscious of myself peeking through my shirt, it was noticable as i was starting to develop. oooh i found something i want on the site and im 19 hahaha i dont care its adorable.
  • At 12, you'll have nothing to push up, wait for a few years
  • I wouldn't ask for a push up bra at this point. I was wearing a b cup when I was 12, wasn't any kiddie bra that would do the trick. What you might want to ask about is a padded bra. It would have a similar effect, and you could always argue the comfort angle. I've never understood why mothers are so particular about daughter's underwear. My mom still makes fun of my choices, and I haven't lived in her house for five years. If you really want it, ask for padded. I would tell you, though, that depending on your genetics there may be a limited time you can wear cute bras--enjoy it. Also, you don't know what mom will think until you ask.
  • Listen I am a 12 year old girl, tell her your going through pubirty. and that you want to try different types of bra's that you thing the kiddy bra's are to revealing. Tell her all of your friends are wearing push up bra's and to please take it into consideration. also if you need any more questions answered i would love to help. here's my email address. adrianxxdawn@yahoo.com i hope i helped.
  • Methinks you are watching a bit too much Hannah Montana, miss Hannah Banana. Hannah Montana is extremely well marketed by Disney, as Britney Spears was before her, and is probably headed down the same road as soon as she gets too old for Disney. Instead of trying to emulate her, try to be the best you possible. It'll wear much better over time. Also, if the bras you are wearing are uncomfortable, ask mom for a different style. Make sure you get measured and get the right size. No one told me that until I was in my thirties. But you don't need a push-up. There is no need for a twelve year old to be screaming to every predator "here I am, look at me." And believe me, they do notice.
  • Oh, sweetie! The boobies will come. Please be patient. If y0ou are full woman sized, then it might be OK to have a push up bra. Please don't rush it!!!!!!
  • My personal opinion you need to listen to your mom and not get one until you are older. You have your whole life to to show you tittes, be child and enjoy it.
  • Your too young to wear a push up bra.
