About three months ago i noticed i had 2 sets of stretch marks on my legs. I asked my sister about them and she said that she gets them but the turn white after like 2 weeks so you can't notice them anymore. Mine haven't turn white even though its been three months. I am a lifeguard so i have to put make up on them so it doesn't look horrible because they are very dark purple and then stick out very bad. I am not fat though but weigh 130. i guess i am average weight what can i do to make them go away?

You can only reduce the appearance of stretch marks as the damage is done underneath the top layers of skin. Initially they look purple/red then fade to a silvery white colour.
You get stretch marks when your skin has to expand rapidly and cannot keep up, this can be from weight gain or a growth spurt.
Some of my patients get them as the medication they are on can/does cause them to gain weight extremely rapidly. We prescribe vitamin E oil for them.
Have a look at the palmers scar serum below.

it dosen't sound like stretch marks to me.
Its probably something genetic. I don't know if you can make go away or not without some kind of medical treatment

you can try cocca butter or vitamin e ointment but it might be vericose veins, did you have a job where you stood on your feet for a long time?
