Stretch marks are caused by skin breakage due to too much stretching. It is usually occured during puberty because thats when you start to develop your hips and thighs...
Stretch marks could be prevented but if you have them you could never get rid of them. I think only surgery could help.
To refrain from getting more stretch marks try moisturizing your skin always. I use petrolium jelly. It really helps to lock in moisture although it feels some kinda heavy on the skin.

Stretch marks are a result of losing and gaining weight very rapidly. Unfortunately you can't really do much about them...they are there forever. The only thing I can say is to just keep active with sports, walking or biking to keep your body in shape. It's important at your age because you will have growth spurts, and it may cut back on the amount of stretch marks. i played a lot of sports in school and i don't have that many...but just know that everyone has them, and they are perfectly normal.

No, they will probably never go away but they will fade alot untill they are hardly noticeable. Stretch marks are from stretching the skin, like if you play sports, when u stretch out before a game or practice this is probably how u got them. Dont worry, they will become unnoticeable after a while.

Stretch marks never go away. They can fade. You can get them from going through a fast growth spurt. People don't just get them from being over weight, or having a baby.

that certain section of your body is bigger than what the skin can handle. most people get stretch marks regardless of shape. dont worry. they never go away, but they become less noticeable over time.
