In Western society , there is an increasing trend towards bralessness among a number of women, especially millennials, who have expressed opposition to and are giving up wearing bras. Women choose to go braless due to discomfort, health-related issues, their cost, and for social reasons, often having to do with self acceptance and political expression. Women have protested the physical and cultural restrictions imposed by bras over many years. A feminist protest at the Miss America Contest is often seen as the beginning of the anti-bra movement, prompting manufacturers to market new designs that created a softer, more natural look. Women are rejecting cultural expectations that their breasts should "stay firm and in the right position," or that going braless means the woman is promiscuous. Bras are increasingly an issue for women and girls. Women and school-age girls in China, Malaysia, Canada, England, and the United States have been harassed and prosecuted for not wearing a bra. Women have sued employers for both attempting to require them to go braless, and for harassment and even termination as a result of choosing to be braless.

When I see girls with premature thelarche, I make sure I do a thorough physical examination, looking for anything that would suggest a more serious hormonal problem. If the rest of the exam is normal, then there is no need for any specific tests. It is recommended that the breast changes be monitored closely for several months, meaning monthly or bimonthly visits to the doctor to see if it goes away or continues to progress. If there are abnormalities on the physical exam, or if the breast development continues, then blood tests, x-rays, or an ultrasound of the pelvis may be indicated.
I'll definitely talk with her about my concerns, and will be spending time with her family over the upcoming holidays so that will be a good chance to see how they treat me. There have been times in the last three years that we have had to live paycheck to paycheck so the idea of a rich doctor is antiquated in most cases. It really can be that simple. There is no freedom to think, no freedom to speak your mind, and no freedom to do anything that 'the brethren' say not to. You might need more than he can give. There is no moral issue here.
