"My nipples look different
compared to other girls,
and I'm worried what boys will think"

Dear Jacqui,
I am an 18-year-old female who is concerned about the way my nipples look. When I see naked ladies they all have red nipples and surrounding areas. I'm very worried that there is something wrong with me. Is there something I can do to get red nipples? I am very embarrassed about this and worried that boys wont like me because of it, please help. Nadish

Dear Nadish,
Women have very different nipple colors; some are very light, very pale pink, others red or even brown. Many younger women have paler nipples and later, once they've had a baby, the color of the nipples and the shape of the breasts change.

Don't worry about it. Different colors are totally natural. Men like different girls, but not simply for the color of their breasts. What you should think about and concentrate on is what makes you special. Think about all the nice features and qualities you have and learn to appreciate them. Everybody likes a girl or a woman with a positive sense of self, including guys.
