You're just going through rapid growth right now and sometimes the skin can't handle the quick changes. Make sure you moisturize those areas well. Cocoa butter is an old standby that actually helps a lot. Use the kind that comes in an oil with vitamin E. This helped my niece when she had this same problem a couple of years ago. With time and care, the stretch marks will fade as your body grows into itself.
ps.
You are NOT overweight.

Hmmm, I'm 5'3 and 125 pounds but I'm 25 with 2 kids . You're not over weight. O.k. this is caused by your body growing or you gaining a lot of weight. Eat healthy exercise and use body cream with coco butter. They may fade in time (can take years) and since your young they may even go away. I got stretch mark at your age and they did fade!

Sorry but u can't get rid of them. I've had them since I was about 11, around the same time i started my period and trust me they do not go away! You're actually lucky that u only have them there. I have them on my stomach and thighs too. I'm not really that overwight either but i still got them. My younger sister started getting them when she was 10. It's just how your skin is I guess. I have friends who have kids and they don't any stretch marks at all. Don't even trip about it. I got used to them and so will you.

Hi,
Usally stretch marks are due to your body growing so If you are not overweight than its just your body stretching, Vitamin E oil is the best thing for stretch marks, and if you are going to use a lotion on then try Palmers coco butter It works amazing,

Because your skin stretches due to gaining weight. You can't ge rid of stretch marks once you have them you can try and put lotion on them but they will get lighter over time but you will always have stretch marks. Unless you get them lazered off.

Ok, this is what I read once:
Castor oil and a heating pad, for about 20 minutes, read it works but could not tell you.
As far as I know strecht marks are irreversible.
GOod luck.

uh........
as to why u have stretch marks, i don't know........
but i have been told that exercise and drinking lots of water can help reduce them..........
also, don't scratch your skin around those areas, it only makes it worse..........
oh......
and lots of companies that sell beauty products like AVON
sell a special cream just for stretch marks.........
they don't erase them they just help to reduce them a little
u should try it........
