Age 16 and has stretch marks?!


Question: i'm 16 years old, 5'4 and a normal body weight. I haven't grown or gained/lost weight. However, i have stretch marks all over my thighs and near my knees. I'm really worried cause i want them to be gone by bathing suit season. Am i supposed to even have stretch marks at this age ?

I'm 16 and i have stretch marks...i hate them..bad news is you cant get rid of them...good news is there are ways to lightin them...put a lot of sunscreen on b/c a tan will make them show up more...start putting lotion on them before you go to bed...little things like that help....

Many people get stretch marks during puberty. It is just life. It depends on how stretchable your skin is. It is genetic somewhat.

i was wondering the same thing! and im 13! :((

my boobs are solid stretch marks, i have them on the side of my theighs too. it just happens. guys can get them too though-dont be too worried about it.

Both my sixteen year old girls and well as my 13 year old girl have stretch marks and they are all normal body weight, so yes it is normal and they will not go away, a good vitamin e cream does help fade them, and chances are you notice them far more then any one else will.

you would be surprised to find out who has stretch marks...the girls you see in magazines...im sure they have them....its just that they fix EVERY flaw that the models have with computesr...even if the girls nose casts off to big of a shadow on her face they take it out....pimples, red patches, stretch marks...hey tyra banks admited to having them, so dont worry about it...they fade to almost invisible at some point, i had them on my hips and breasts at 13 and by the time i was about 20 they were invisible....so dont worry about it

You can get stretch marks regardless of the size of your body. I've had them on my butt since age 14 bad news is you cant get rid of them but there are ways to lighten them

actually my sister is kind of chubby and wanted to get rid of them.if they are dark rub cocoa butter on them all the time. it wont make them disappear but it will make them sort of a clear color. worked for her. : ) hope i helped
