Stretch marks at your age would be most likely from growing at a fast rate. With time they will fade. In the meantime, wear board shorts with your bathing suit.

Awww Sweetie...!!!! Stretch marks are mainly caused by genetics, the complexion of our skin is mainly determined by our parents and grand parents and they are permanent, there are a few lotions in the market that promise to reduce the appearance of stretched skin but it is doubtful that they work, the most extreme thing would be to go to a certified doctor and get laser treatment, but at your age I don't think would be recommended, what I think would be your only option is self tanners, they help you conceal the problem and help even out the skin tone and they are safe and more affordable, there's a ton in the market right now. Wish you good luck.

Sorry- they aren't really going to go away. Some people just get them when they go through a growth spurt. They will fade with time and become slightly lighter than the color of your skin, so they'll become a lot less noticeable You might want to try a good moisturizer mixed with a product to treat scars that lightens, but truthfully, there isn't much you can do. Still wear your bathing suit and enjoy the summer- you probably notice them a lot more than other people do!

Unfortanatly I hate to be the one to break it to you but stretch marks are skin deep, and are caused by how fast you grow and gentics, but don't be bashful about wearing certain things; like tank tops, sleeveless shirts, or bathing suits with a little bit of guideance in the right direction you'll be able to accept ur tiny flaw in a positive way remember no one's perfect.

I've mine for 10 years, I'm 22. They came about when I started to develop and got worse when I had my daughter. Palmers Stretch Mark Remover cream works enough to fade them but they'll never really go away.

It's probably from wearing your pants too tight. I play guitar and I got stretch marks from my acoustic one just between my right arm and chest...but not on the other side. lol I've been playing for eight years now and they're still there. Sorry I couldn't give you better news.

Use a stretch mark removing lotion. Avon makes a really good one. Also, don't worry about them too much. No one's body's perfect! Be comfortbale in your skin.
