    Why do I have female looking breasts and I am a man.
    I am 17 yrs old soon to be 18 yrs and I have been having this problem since I was in the 8th grade and thought that at first it was adolescence kicking in and its been a few years now and they keep getting bigger each year and its keeps me at a very bad position because its very embarrassing for a guy to have boobs.please help because I really want to go to the beach and wear tight t shirts without getting embarrassed.

    Are you overweight? Breasts are made of fat, so it could be that if you lost weight, they would shrink.

    Or it could be gynecomastia. Gynecomastia: When Breasts Form in Males -- familydoctor.org

    Maybe you should talk to your doctor about your concerns?

    That's all I've got. I'm 18, so take this with a grain of salt. I just watch a lot of medical shows. Hopefully someone a little more qualified will have some better advice for you.
