Ignore them, time will make them diminish. In the mean time think of the glass half-full. If you are self-conscious about them, maybe you'll be covering up those areas that shouldn't be flaunted so much anyway. Modesty is a beautiful thing of the past. Best wishes to you & please don't let it get you down. A guy needs to care more about you than scrutinizing to see if you have a flawless this & that. Cuz alot of people will look older as they get older, if you know what I mean. :)

added after thumb down (sorry!)
I got my first stretch marks after my first son was born. I only had little ones well under my belly-button (abdominal area that would be hidden by bikini bottoms, anyway.) & a couple really little fine short ones in the (where baby would latch on & nurse area), so was really lucky, then. I had a girlfriend tell me to keep lotion on my tummy & breasts etc to keep the skin soft & not stretch out into marks. Don't know if that helped &/or the healthy eatting/drinking water & exercising put together.
I do know for some that yo-yo dieting, rapid gains & loses of weight will cause stretch marks. So, it's best to try & stop that cycle if you know you do that. If you are a yo-yo dieter, don't do the crash diets, not keeping up with it & gaining weight back fast again will cause those marks. Find healthy eatting habits you'll keep & little changes that you can keep & exercise, too. Best wishes to you, sweetie. And I hope you your mood lightens up! {hug!}

You could try Mederma (that's the brand name). It helps lighten & smooth out scars to make them less noticable. You just apply 2-3 times a day. It's a clear gel that doesn't smell bad which is great. It costs under $20 for a tube (comes in different sizes). I use it & it works great (also use for for acne scars & other scars). You won't see results right away, it takes a few weeks to months to notice a difference. It's impossible to get rid of the marks completely, but it will make them appear less noticable. Also you could try to use a coco butter based cream/lotion to deminish the occurance of future stretch marks. I have really thin skin so I was prone to getting stretch marks around my teens around my thigh area even though I was always thin nor have I ever had a child before. (I'm 24 now). Hope this helps!

Get used to them. Surgeries just cause more scar tissue.

People need to be accepting of what their bodies. There are ages and stagges of life.

Some people are more prone to stretch marks than other people.

Eat healthy. Drink lots of water. Make sure you eat healthy fats.
