Honey, I will tell you right now that having hips is veiwed by many men as very attractive. Guys like having a girl who has a beautiful shape, and when hips are properly proportioned with the rest of the body, it makes the most beautiful figure imaginable. But if you are worried about stretch marks, get some cocoa butter cream or any product containing shea butter. If all else fails, go to the store and ask for some of the same kind of lotion pregnant women use to get rid of their stretch marks. Hope this helps!

96% of women either have stretch marks or cellulite by the age of 17 it's normal, most of the time it is caused by growth...nothing you can do about it..you can try coco butter, and stuff like that it may lighten them, but they will never completely go away...ever go to the beach? You will notice some of the most beautiful women all have the same problems

Stretch marks are cause by your skin stretching faster than it can handle. Anything that could have caused your skin to stretch would make them. After a while, then don't look so bad. I got them too. They start out looking purplish, then they turn clear and you can hardly see them. So don't worry about it. It happens to lots of people ^_^

You don't have to be fat to get stretch marks....they can grow when you grow because your skin wasn't ready for whatever growth you've gone through.
You can get rid of them by buying a shea butter lotion in any grocery store. It's in the regular lotion isle and it'll specifically say that it reduces the signs of stretch marks....just keep using it, it'll fade away.

Some women's skin are so delicate that just the act of growing makes you have stretch marks even though you aren't fat. Use cocoa and vitamin Oil on them.

You are just getting you women figure. So your hips and inner thighs are spreading a little. So if you are not fat now just keep on working out regularly so you will not become ob-est in the future. I took that for granted. So now I am working out constantly

You have gotten bigger - by growth or gain. You cannot get rid of stretch marks but they will fade over time and be skin color. Some people use cocoa butter. Just remember anytime your skin stretches it will itch - so don't scratch that will make it worse. If you have to just rub your skin with your palm.

well everyone will say cocoa butter which can help but you have to do cross fiber work on them while applying it i.e. if the stretch mark is going up and down you want to make side to side motions on it ....the cross fiber action is what helps to break them down......if they are that much of a bother try body wraps i know i have been applying them to my brother so he can loose inches around his waist it is also getting rid of his stretch marks we use the sea mud/clay..........the marks are not always caused from being fat sometimes if you have a growth spurt this can happen always try to moisturize your skin it helps your skin with elasticity also drink lots of water.....something else that helps with skin elasticity is omegas

I have them too and have had them since puberty. They say it's because our hips grew fast and our skin didn't have time to stretch properly.
If you're concerned, there are stretch mark creams on the market that do work. They are a bit speandy though.
Good luck.

maybe you have stretch marks because your body was growing faster than it should. its not a bad thing but it looks bad. what you could do is by some coca butter for stretch marks and you should see some improvement. if not let me know.
