Adolescent [3] Congenital or Hereditary Gynecomastia is typically evident by the ages of 9 to 13 in boys. Thirty percent to sixty percent of young boys suffer from large male breasts. As many as thirty percent may live with enlarged male breasts for the rest of their lives, but in other cases the gynecomastia will recede with age. However, severe forms of adolescent gynecomastia may require an intervention, in consultation with the patient, the parents, and child development professionals.

thx so much for your help
The problem with "male breasts" is dependant on whether they are fat deposits or actual breast tissue, which your doctor will be able to tell you, if they are actually shaped like a womans breast then it is possible they are breast tissue caused by a hormonal inbalance of oestrogen which should clear up beyond puberty.
If they are a build up of fat, a healthy lifestyle should help to reduce them.
If you are concerned, go and see your doctor who will be best to advise you on it further after a quick examination
