When I was about 9 I started growing breasts. However, after just watching a special on The Discovery Channel about breast cancer, I was frightened that the lumps on my chest were, in fact, cancerous. I was so frightened. Eventually, I told my parents about it and my dad just laughed and said "What do you mean, you don't even have any breasts to get cancer in!"
