If you grow faster than your skin can keep up, you get stretch marks - So if you put on weight quickly, or are pregnant, or have a growth spurt, then sometimes your skin can't keep up and you get stretch marks. My husband has them on his legs and hips from growing from a runty little 4'6 14 year-old to a 6'1 18 year old.

Stretch marks will appear from rapid growth, whether it's from a growth in weight numbers or a growth in height. I know of one man who had stretch marks on his back from when he was a teenager and put on a massive growth-spurt, and he's always been very slender. Stretch marks aren't just for pregnant or fat-girls!
If your friend is embarrassed by the stretch marks, there are over-the-counter remedies she can try. They won't make them go away, but they can help them fade faster.

Its probably growth stretch marks. If your body goes through a growth spurt it can leave marks. I have those on my legs too.
