Oh don't worry hon (:
Tons of women get stretch marks when they are growing. That's why pregnant women get them on their stomachs during pregnancy... the skin is stretching to fit over the stomach for the new baby. Stretch marks happen when your body is growing too fast for your skin to keep up, basically.
You usually will get them around your age... when you're starting to grow bigger hips and breasts.
I was your age when I started getting stretch marks... they are on my butt, my hips, and my thighs. I've had them ever since... they do fade in time. At first they may be a bit reddish in colour, but now mine are white. They are barely seeable. Don't worry about trying to get rid of them... stretch mark creams or oils do not work. You can talk to your doctor about options such as lasering or surgery... but those are very high cost, and not worth it. Everyone has insecurities! Be proud of your skin. You're a beautiful girl and it doesn't matter if your skin isn't perfect. Nobody is perfect. (:
I have a boyfriend and he doesn't care about my stretch marks. He says that I am beautiful, and that they don't bother him at all. If it bothers you to show your skin around people, don't worry. Chances are, they have stretch marks too. Even guys get them! So don't worry... I used to worry a lot about them, but now I'm confident. And it feels so much better to be confident. (:

Personal experience. (:

If you're 5'3" at 105 lb, I would say you definitely do NOT need to lose weight. Everybody gets stretch marks to some degree in some place or another. Boobs and thighs get them as they grow and stretch your skin away from where they previously were located on your body. It's just natural. Some have them more visibly than others. You can go to the drugstore and get a cream or lotion if it will make you feel better, but in my opinion, it isn't a problem at all.

I also have stretch marks in that same area, and I got them years ago at around your age. It's normal really, its just from growing. If you want them to go away try rubbing cocoa butter on them everyday.

Had them for 4 years now. Dont mind them though.

You do not need to lose weight at all :) it's just because you're growing. You can get stretch mark creams at a drug store to get rid of them. Other then the creams I don't know how else to get rid of them.

Stretch marks are genetic. Some people will get them and some people won't.

It's impossible to get rid of them completely. They will fade with time, or if you use stretch mark cream, but they'll always be there.

You don't need to lose weight. This happened to my best friend.. its completely normal, just buy some good stretch mark cream. You probably hit a growth spurt, and that can cause stretch marks.

You might have grown taller. Stretch marks usually fade overtime. Over the summer MAKE SURE you don't tan them! They will never go back to your original skin color so when you tan goes away you strech marks will still be tan!

you don't moisturize enough and you're going through puberty so that means your boobs and hips are getting bigger etc. which means alot of skin stretching.

U just asked a question about your FRIEND having discharge.. u said she is 13 and u are younger than her. and now in this question your 13 lol... you dont have to make stuff up. just ask your question.

Stretch marks are a very natural phenomenon during phases of rapid growth, such as puberty. Almost all women have at lest some stretch marks. Ways to prvent more stretch marks are: keep well hydrated, exercise regularly & eat a healthy diet, be sure to moisturizer your skin daily with a quality lotion or even buy cocoanut oil at the health food store & apply nightly after a shower. keeping your body well hydrated & your skin moisturized allows your skin to be more pliant & prevent more stretch marks from forming as you continue to grow. As for the ones you already have, keeping them well moisturized will minimize their appearance. Don't worry, they're perfectly natural & some of the most beautiful women in the world have them, too.

Stop lifting so many weights
