I have loads of stretch marks and I'm only 14! ?

Question

It makes me feel so self concious! I'm 5.9/5.10 and the doctor said its because I've grown so fast at such a young age but did anyone else experience this or are experiencing it? Does it go away or is it with you for life? Because I haven't worn a bikini since I was 11 cause of it...

Answer 1

i've had stretch marks everywhere since i hit puberty, and am not fat or anything. i play a lot of sports, and run. and i'm only 5'2". i have them on my thighs, butt, b***s, legs even on my waist!! it sucks because i dont wear a bikini either because of them. so dont feel like you are alone.

Answer 2

If you've lost weight or gained then lossed, it could be because of that.

Answer 3

well yeah there are things to take that off i have them to but i dont really care  

Answer 4

yea it just means that your body grew faster than your skin. does that make sense? theres creams out there to help reduce the appearance, but i think the only way to fully get rid of them is laser surgery. but im not sure. you can look into that.

Answer 5

i have em on my back its apparently growth or stress. Put some lotion on it its supposed to help.

But maybe youre unlucky like me i could be stuck with it for the rest of my life. Dont let it bother you though

And im 14 too lol

Answer 6

theyre never going away hahaha

Answer 7

Well i'm 15, and i have stretch marks on my back, arms, thighs, b***s and belly. As i am very tall and not very thin and developed early, i'm guessing that is why i have them... Apparently if you put coco butter on them they will fade.

Don't worry, your not alone..

Answer 8

It is totally because you grew so fast.  Happened to me!  they never really go away, but they do lighten and fade with time.  And just FYI, this happens to A LOT of people your age. And all of you think you are the only one, i know i did!!  

Answer 9

I started to get stretch marks when I was 16, I began to play sports and lost a lot of weight. I now have them on my stomach and inner thighs. The only thing that i have found to work is to rub baby oil on them, it has help to fade some of mine.  Oh by the way I have heard this saying if their pink they will go away if they are white they are here to stay. I know that it really sucks especially b/c you are so young but hang in there and try the baby oil! good luck!

Answer 10

I'm only 14 too, and I've had stretch marks for a few years now. They make me very self conscious too. I think it's fairly normal because even my older sister who is very thin got some stretch marks. Hers went away, but mine don't seem to be. I'm not sure how to get rid of them. I'm considering trying some sort of product to get rid of or fade scars. I've heard that that will work, but don't take my word for it. Best of luck!
