Don't worry - it's normal. I think I got some when I was in my teens too (and haven't got any new ones since!). They will eventually turn white and not be so noticable. Your body is changing and your hips are probably filling out - the skin stretches. Just use moisturizer (cocoa butter is good) and don't worry!

Being skinny does not keep you from getting stretch marks. Some people get stretch marks just from growing. I noticed my first marks when I was about your age. You are going through puberty and your hips are starting to widen and you are growing taller too. Make sure to moisturize as much as possible preferably with coco butter. Other than that there isn't much that can be done. Don't fret though, they aren't as bad as you think and mine ended up fading over time. They are much lighter now and when I get a tan you can hardly see them at all.

If you are only 13 I would not worry about stretch marks. They probably are stretch marks, but at the sametime you still have a little bit of growing to do.

Don't worry! They are COMPLETELY normal. They may not even be stretch marks, they could be caused by hormones. They will fade in a few years, and if they bother you, try putting cocoa butter.

dont' worry. i've know ppl who have gotten stretch marks at 13 and they have faded in a couple years. If they are really bugging you, try buying coca butter and putting it on it every day. it helps them fade.

Try putting some cocoa butter lotion on them. You can get them even if you are skinny it has to do with growing and your skin not being that easily stretched. Keep putting lotion to keep your skin moist.

Sorry, they probably are stretch marks. Most girls get them as they mature to woman hood, and their hips broaden NOT FAIR, but that's how it is, usually.
