Breast reduction

Im really sorry for asking stupid questions, but I was previously overweight and I lost weight by myself, and now I look skinny. But my chest is still as large as it was before. No matter how much I starve myself, its not nudging. I cant afford surgery Because im not an adult yet, can somebody help in any way at all? I hate it so much and will do whatever it takes to get rid of it

Speak to a doctor about it. Medical insurance will sometimes cover breast reduction surgery, for example, my surgery was partially covered because I would develop rashes under my breasts they were so large.
