Tender breasts: Breasts may become tender and swollen in anticipation of your period. - or it may represent a superficial skin infection or underlying infection in the breast. Doubtful at your age it is cancer but if the pain continues you should have it checked out. Excessive manipulation of the breast (ie "second base" can also cause the breasts to be sore. Good luck

Breast tenderness: It could be fibrocystic changes. Does it cycle with your menstrual periods? Any redness of the skin? Fever? Try a firm support bra, ice packs, and perhaps primrose oil over the counter. Ask your guardian/parent to take you to your physician for an examination to rule out more serious problems. He may order breast ultrasounds. Estrogen can increase breast tenderness. Could you be pregnant?
