Hey there, being 12 years old and having period is normal. I had my period since I was 11 years old. To tell you the truth, it doesn't matter what others think of you. The more you begin to feel about what they think of you, then you will likely to become weak. Learn how to live a happy life. Words don't mean, but people mean. Do you understand that phrase, people out there will sometimes want to hurt you. But there are people that would like to help you. Stay away from negative people, because all they want to do is make you feel weak. You have to be strong to get through life. People would tend to say mean things so that they could feel better about themselves, but in reality they are like trash. So be strong, if your weak, your more likely to fall. But if your strong, no matter what others says, doesn't hurt a thing. So i wish you the best in life.

People, regardless of age, can be unnecessarily cruel at times. I know it's easier said than done, but try to ignore them. You're a better person because you're not so shallow that you go out of your way to insult others based on their appearance. Beauty can come and go, but a kind attitude can last forever. Also, stretch marks can occur when a person has a growth spurt; they're not uncommon at all.

What cause stretch marks in teens and how do I get rid of them?
Puberty can be a rocky road at the best of times, but the onset of those strange looking lines that start to appear on the body can make it even worse. Teen stretch marks are just a normal part of puberty, for males and females. It’s estimated that at least 35% of girls and 15% of boys will develop stretch marks at some point during puberty. So if you’re noticing stretch marks appear on your body you’re not alone.
Teen stretch marks are more common in girls but boys don’t miss out, as they can get them too. In females stretch marks usually form on the butt, hips, thighs and breasts and it is very common for women to get them during pregnancy.
Males who are really into bodybuilding can also be quite prone to them, due to rapid body changes. It has also been suggested that some medications, such as oral steroids cause stretch marks as well as certain low potency topical steroid creams and ointments, if they are used in excess.
During puberty your body has higher levels of a hormones circulating through the bloodstream and this is thought to help cause stretch marks. Some specific hormones such as glucocorticoids affects the dermis (the middle layer of the skin) by preventing fibroblasts from forming collagen and other fibers necessary to keep growing skin taut and supple. If the skin is then stretched there is a lack of supportive material and it leads to dermal tearing. These small tears then create the scarring that we refer to as stretch marks.
The scientific name for stretch marks is ‘striae gravidarum’, but many medical professionals just refer to them as striae (pronounced, ‘stree-eye’). To begin with, stretch marks may appear as red or purple lines, they may also look like they’re intended and have a different texture from the surrounding skin. Thankfully, over time they will fade and become a white or flesh colored shade, but they never really fully disappear.
Everyone feels like they're not being liked once in a while.

when i started growing i got stretch marks to. when you're growing taller usually the stretch marks would be gouing up, if you're growing larger than they would be across. even if you are growing larger just try to eat better food don't let people mess with you're mind because that could really scar you for life and remember as long as you're ok with you're self and you remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder that other peoples opinions of you don't matter and that you shouldn't care what they think cause their not friends anyway. hope this helps.
