  I'm 15 years old, and my chest has a lot of fat on it.  My boobs seem to protrude much more than any other guys my age, and I play soccer so I see other guys shirtless all of the time.  I'm very self conscience about this, but I'm not sure if I have gyne and should get it fixed or if it's just being a teen like I've read before. 

I'm 15, about 5'10, 150 lbs.  I have pretty skinny arms and legs, my stomach is chubby, but nothing ridiculous.  My breasts are noticeable though.

Any advice or thoughts?

My chest has been like this for about 5 years now if I remember correctly.  Around that time, I got pretty chubby(not obese, just chunky), and I grew and most of my body just evened out.  My chest got a little better, but my breasts are still pretty big, a hand full.

Since you've had your m(o)(o)bs for 5 years now, they probably are not going to go away on their own. Sorry dude...   :-\

In the next year or two, you may want to do some research on surgical removal/reduction...

And if I've read correctly, surgical removal is the only way to get rid of them?  No way to cut fat and the fat in there will go with the rest of it?   :'(

And also, if I were to add pics on here tomorrow, would you be able to better assess the situation?  Thanks man.

If the condition doesn't rectify itself naturally, then yes, surgery is the only way dude.

Sure, pics are a good way for others to give you an unbiased opinion. Post away my man...

I live in the United States, sadly.  I see that you're in Canada (or I assume at least).  Great country, been there before and loved it.

Yes... I live in Brampton, Ontario Canada. Yeah, Canada is a good place to live...  Where abouts in Canada did you visit?

My first time, I went up to Windsor, just as a little trip when I went to Michigan.  I've also been to Nova Scotia and Toronto.

Brampton is just next door to Toronto. I'm about a 20 minute drive from T.O.

My Son-In-Law is from Nova Scotia.

Lucky you.  I live about 3 hours from New York City, 45 minutes from Philadelphia, and 45 minutes to Baltimore.  All pretty cool cities, but for some reason I liked Toronto better...seemed much cleaner and the people seemed much nicer.
