I grew extremely fast from when I was 11 till when I was 12. I grew stretch marks on my lower back, hips, inner thighs, low thighs, and calfs. I do exercise 5-6 times a week for 2 hours(advance ballet). I'm a size 8/10(depending on the brand), I weigh 156 lbs., and I'm 5'11 1/2" tall. Am I fat or normal/average? The stretch marks are fading, so I'm happy about that. Also, when I'm older and have sex with the 'right one', will he be turned off?

I think that you sound like you're just right. You're tall, so that weight is fine for your height.
Most women have stretch marks, because of the new places that you gain weight as you go through puberty. They will fade and you won't even notice them soon.
Since pretty much all women have stretch marks (and men get them too), any guy who would be turned off by them isn't going to get very far with the ladies...the "right guy" will love you for who you are, and a couple of stretch marks will be the last thing on his mind.
I'm sure you're beautiful - don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

ur NOT fat!! girl, i just posted a question yesterday and i got about 15 answers from guys...
i am 16 and i grew from a 0 to a 6 (BIIIIG JUMP!!!) since last summer. every guy on there said that is a sexy size!! my best friend is an 8 or 10 and she has guys drooling all over her!!
about the stretch marks, i have them too. mine is genetic. unfortunately, some of them will never go away. try lots of sun and Avon stretch mark cream (find some cheap stuff in the Mark catalougue)
if u keep that hourglass shape and beautiful eyes, ull have a guy in no time!!
ps i dont think sex is a good idea just yet...believe me ull regret it. even if he's "the one"

if you're a girl, the general rule is 100 lbs. for 5 feet and 5 lbs for every inch after, so you are just in the right ballpark - make sure you eat right from now on so you don't get fatter since you are probably done growing. A guy won't be turned off by something like a stratch mark - if he is then dump him - he doesn't deserve you. you can try maderma (get it at the drugstore) to help your marks fade faster.

You are not fat, accept yourself for who you are (and plus you're a tall person, that is probably the avg weight for you, and the majority of young ladys around your age growth slows down)!!!! You can reduce the visual signs of stretch marks by exercising and eating right on a regular basis.

You sound great to me, and so tall, wow! I'm only 5' 3". You will find someone who loves you for who you are, and probably won't notice any of the things you see inyourself as being negative. You really seem to have a high level of self-awareness and I think you're at an advantage over many of your peers. Keep eating healthily, and execise regularly, and if you are ever worried about anything, find someone you trust to talk to. Good luck!!

You're being extreme if you think you're fat, which you're not, if you exercise the way you say you do, your body should be well toned. As far as guys go most don't really care, about the strech marks those will fade soon, as long as your body looks fit you feel well and healthy you're doing just fine.
