Extremely worried

[Liamtyler]

hey, recently I have noticed some things about my body that are different from my friends. The first one is my nipples stick out a lot more than
My friends.

Secondly, my feet are a lot wider and there is a wider space between my toes.
I'm worried my friends will laugh.
Please tell me, is this normal, and what should I do?
Thanks.

I know a lot of guys that had the nipple problem. I was told it is a type of temporary fat deposit, and can sometimes get slightly bulged and sore. We just call it "rock tit". As for the foot problem, some people just have wide feet. My step dad has wide feet and has to buy size 14W (14 wide) for that problem, so I assume it's normal. But I can't be 100% sure.

Quite a high percentage of boys get a condition called gynecomastia during puberty which results in some breast development, this is probably whats causing you to think you have bigger nipples. Try googling it. Its very normal and usually just goes away later on.

Some people have wide feet. I have very wide feet, I cant get any shoes, even the widest fitting, that are comfortable so I wear shoes as little as possible. I spend a lot of time at school and other places where I cant take my shoes off in pain from my feet. Its no joke, but again its not that unusual. There's nothing you can do about it.

Yes, there goes my part of my answer.

As for the wide feet, everybody's different. I mean I have wide feet. ( I think) I mean Nikes are painful for my feet.

The nipple problem is really common among guys who are just starting out in puberty, and you are not alone there. Once you get a year or two of puberty under your belt, then the nipple problem will generally work itself out. The disorder which starts with "g" as mentioned above occurs in a lot of guys, and don't be freaked out about it. Even among some developed fellows who are very famous their nipples do stick out a little bit which no one seems to mind. In nearly all cases it we are often our own worst critics as what you are noticing is what most others are not seeing. Just avoid skin tight shirts, and you should be fine. Even if you are shirtless chances are no one will notice.

As for the feet issue I have noticed that when I was first growing, too. However, things ended up proportional when that part of puberty was done. Puberty is really weird as it doesn't affect the body evenly during the time it is happening, and you can encounter differences until you are totally done.

As for your friends, don't mind them, which is easier said than done. Short of your friends being gods I seriously doubt they are perfect in everyway. Listen, we all have things about ourselves which are not perfect, and what you describe in yourself your friends could have other problems like acne, small penises, etc. None of us are perfect, and just be yourself.
