I am using this site as an example of teen' body issue ideas and breastfeeding next month. I am presenting a class to our CPSP (Perinatal Services Counselors) "Teens and Breastfeeding) So many teens have issues and compare themselves to the augmented breasts and airbrushed images they see on TV and in magazines. 
  I think this is a great site. I advocate prenatal counseling for teens including showing them pictures such as the ones on this site normalizing their own breasts and talking about anatomy and how they function.
  Glad you ran across it!

Yep, this site is amazing in terms of its ability to "normalize." I think someone may already have posted, but there are pages and pages of breast shape variations with discussion/personal anecdote beginning at: http://www.007b.com/breast_gallery.php

Bravo to the women who created this site! Be sure to visit the entire site...
