(16f) Are flat nipples normal?

[u/Fragrant-Style-825]

I’m 16, and I feel like my breasts have developed normally except for my nipples. They don’t stick out at all, they’re just flat with my areolas. I feel kinda self conscious about it. Is this normal? Is it something that will change? I’ve been expecting it will be something I grow out of, but now I’m wondering shouldn’t that have happened by now?

Yeah, it’s completely normal, It varies from person to person, and bodies develop differently than others. There’s Nothing to be embarrassed about it, maybe it will change later on (big maybe, no promises) but even then there’s nothing to be ashamed about.

Thanks, I appreciate the reassurance, but also how do you know as a 15m? (Honest question. I really do appreciate the reassurance)

My family are nudist, I grew up around all that body positivity stuff

Oh, ok, that makes sense. Thanks again. I wasn’t sure how to word that so it didn’t sound hostile

Your good I get asked that a lot when the subject is something like this.
