Don't worry about it - almost everyone has them. They usually form if you grew very quickly (expecially on the breasts and thighs/hips) It's just where your skin has grown a lot in a short amount of time. Guys get them too. There's not really any way to get rid of them but using a toner can help to minimize them. Don't be self consious though - Almost everyone gets that. You can also get them from gaining a lot of weight quickly, but as thin as you are, puberty probably just got the best of you. If you have them on your legs, it's probably because you got tall quickly as a kid. That sort of thing... hope it helps! :)

Oh boy, I know how you feel. When I was 11, I began to get them and I was not over weight either. It has to do with the elasticity of your skin. If your skin stretches easily, you won't get them, and if it does not stretch easily then you will get them. Sorry...not much you can do for them. But you know what?! Because they have an iridescent sort of look to them, you can see them more than anyone else can, because its the angle that you are look at them which makes them appear to be more visable than they really are. So put on some cute shorts and don't worry about it. No one else will even notice!

They may be growth stretch marks. I'm a 27 year old guy in great shape and I had stretch marks in high school on my lower back and upper thighs. Try some kind of vitamin E lotion. I would also consult a dermatologist. If it bothers you that much, you might even look into some sort of laser skincare.

Coco Butter Creams. That wont make them go away, but they'll fade a little bit. They do fade with time. Most people don't care about stretch marks, so most likely they won't say anything, unless they are so immature, they NEED to.

Rubbing olive oil on your skin may help. You don't have to be overweight to get stretch marks. If you have a growth spurt or you workout and get bigger muscles, you will get stretch marks. It is normal. Most likely, no one else notices them as much as you do. We are usually our own worst critics!

Everyone gets them, fat or not. Have you ever tried one of those products on the market? Not sure if they would get rid of the stretchmarks completly, but I have heard that they help. Just have confidence in yourself...even Paris Hilton has 'em!!!
