I have stretch marks on my inner thighs, it's like. The most annoying thing. I also have them a little on my butt (ugh) and some on my legs. Since I do track I have to wear these really short shorts and people ask me how I got them. I honestly have no idea how I got them, and it's really strange. I'm like, 14. I've had them since I was 12 and I was never fat or last any significant weight like that. I think they're from running so much? Probably. I really don't know, but they are starting to fade a little. People look at them, and I just pretend they're not there. Lots of other people I know have them on their arms and shoulders and all the way down their legs. So... yeah. I don't really try that hard to cover them. They're normal. I've never seen a guy with stretch marks around here, though. They often have it on their arms from lifting weights so much. That's what I've heard. Anyways, stretch marks are nothing to be ashamed of, I feel.
Boobs, hips and stomach. But they have mostly faded. I got them when I first started developing a loooong time ago :P I am 22 now, and you can still kind of notice them, but they have faded quite a bit. I'm not insecure about them, they are a fact of life and growth. If someone won't date me or thinks I'm disgusting because I have them, well that is their choice. I don't let it stop me.
I know for girls it can be a big thing. But really, it's not that bad. They do fade after time, maybe not completely but don't let it stop you from wearing something or doing what you want to do. Immature people are the one's who make fun of something like that. Because realistically, most people do have some!
first off yes I voted. and I actually don't have stretch marks at this point in time. I never had huge growth spurts or major weight loss or gain, nor have I had a child and genetics are on my side because neither of my parents have them. not to say I don't have imperfections because I do and not to say I won't get stretch marks at some time but for the time being I'm blessed to be without them. for anyone who has stretch marks and reads this comment there are laser treatments available if it is something you really can't stand. I honestly don't think they are unsightly or even unattractive and I think you should love the way you look whether you have stretch marks or not!
I've got some, three little lines, and I have no f***ing idea how they got there. They're almost totally invisible, though. I think it's because all my weight loss has been very gradual...
Uh, funnily enough though, I've never met someone from my country with stretch marks. I hadn't even heard of them until I came to this site. And, I was with a girl from a different country, for the first time, who I met on this site, ahaha. And, she had stretch marks. And like, her country neighbours mine, directly, it's right beside it, a matter of a hundred miles, and it's normal there, and abnormal here. Like, what the f*** happened there? We were the same country until about 100 years ago, too, so we're the same goddamn breed. I don't get that one at all.
I have a few from a major growth spurt as a kid. There are some on my back. Also on the inside of my upper thighs. I have one huge one that looks like a knife wound next to my junk. I think it looks cool.
Never thought twice about em on a girl. I don't mind at all.

Hips & thighs, but the ones on my hips have faded significantly over the past couple of years.
I developed pretty early, not to mention at one point I had a growth spurt (I grew to 5'0 fast lmao) and then now I'm stuck at 5'2/5'3. Also, when I was younger, I was super uber thin naturally then I began having stomach problems and they had to put me on medication (steroids) and I gained weight, so that may have contributed to the stretch marks.
I'm OK with them though since they've faded (miraculously) over the past couple of years. They're glossy flesh color(although noticeable if looked at closely) and are whatever.
I have no cellulite but stretch marks and cellulite are normal. It's not a weight thing or a height thing necessarily, it's a human thing. I see the thinnest chicks with cellulite and stretch marks.
I have stretch marks by my bum which I presume that I got from growing up because I don't have kids and I haven't lost or gained any significant amount of weigh. They used to bother me a lot because I would think to myself how guys would probably be turned off by it. But what helped me to be at peace with it was what the comedian Katt Williams said in this video.
https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=lj5-71ziM5cNowadays I'm okay with it and just call them "tiger stripes" because they are grrreat!
Stretch are just beauty marks on everyone's body.
I have 2 very small ones right above my belly button and on my side from being prego. I also have a very small patch on back of my left knee and just found a small patch on left under-pit. haha. Its for gaining weight and losing the weight from being prego. I love them and not a shamed of them. I also have the on my breast (like every women). I'm sure I have more just have not found them all. hehe
Everyone gets them at some point in there lives. From weight gain and loss to aging to just plain body changing. I would like to think that 99% of people don't really care or see others.
I have them on my bum and a little on my thighs.I have always been slim,but puberty is such an annoyance.When I was a kid I was stick thin,then I ended up gaining some hips and a bum. I have some very lightly on my boobs,but you can't really tell. I use to HATE them,but the older I become I realize that it's pretty damn normal so why beat myself up about it.Im alive and healthy so that's what important. I don't really wear bikinis though because of it...thats the downside and I'm on the darker side so they are more noticable.I will just wear some swimming trunks then. :)
I don't think they are that bad, most of the time I don't even notice them. I didn't know that guys got them until I was in high school, and my friend took his shirt off in front of me and I saw some on his back and I was like, "you have scratches on your back!" and he was like no, those are stretch marks. Lol they are really not that bad. Boobs and lower stomach are where I have them but they are hardly noticeable. Even in bathing suits people are like " you're so lucky you don't have stretch marks!" but it's just that they are not that noticeable.
Everyone-girls and guys-have imperfections. After years of constantly fretting about my own imperfections I decided that this was just part of life and resolved to never point them out to people, just accept them as part of my body and focus on all the things I love about my body instead! :) The more you focus on them the more "important" and consuming they will become. Tons of girls have stretch marks/cellulite (that's another big issue) and its completely normal. Absolutely nothing that detracts from your beauty.
My butt grew really fast during my first season in track... for that reason, I have stretch marks on my butt, despite being only 105 lbs haha. Which goes to show that ANYONE can have stretch marks, no matter how skinny you are. It's not a cause for insecurity.
I have stretch marks on my butt that'll go all the way down to my calfs slowly reducing and matching more with my skin color. But I find it super embatasding come summer when I'm in my bathing suit,but I attribute it to fast height growth because I'm not big. I'm actually pretty slender :/ and I did vote too :)
Yes... they're everywhere. My boobs, thighs, hips, stomach, arms, shoulders, armpits, calves. I'm probably 70% covered with stretch marks. Maybe a little less than that. At first I was really upset about it but I'm starting to not care as much. When I show someone they usually are shocked. :l
Im 14 and have had stretch marks for almost a year now. I have one extremely visible purple colored one on my inner leg. I was extremely cautious about wearing bikinis and you know, letting people see it. But while I was in gym (not that I stare at girls, I like guys) but I noticed a lot of other girls had them too. I'm no longer afraid of people seeing me, but some immature people do comment. I just laugh it off because I'm sure they have some other kind of imperfection to. That's just life, you have to LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE, BECAUSE THATS WHAT MAKE YOU.. YOU.
I don't know if I do or not. I rarely look at myself in the mirror short of getting ready in the morning for work (takes less than 10 minutes). I'll ask someone special to look me over when I see her to determine if I indeed have stretch marks or not.
I have a crap load of scars though. I was an active kid plus I mark easily.
I do find stretchmarks a bit sexy. It is a natural process and curvy women have them. :)
I don't have any stretch marks, but I think I'm in the minority. My boyfriend has them, as do most of my friends and my sister, so I'm guessing they're a normal phenomenon. I grew really slowly over a long period of time (took me over 10 years to grow 6 inches) so that might be why I don't have any.
I have never seen a model with stretch marks and yeah, I've got heaps on my hips from growing real quick during my adolescent years :/ I wish they could go away because they make me really self concious and as much as I love going to the beach for a swim, I end up not enjoying because I'm too busy pulling my shorts down to make sure it hasn't hiked up or anything ):
Some people actually don't get stretch marks because they have a lot of elastic fibers in the dermis of their skin...in all people this decreases with age. I have white stretch marks around my hips and a little on my butt. my sister doesn't have any. so its just a matter of how elastic your skin is.
I have stretch marks on my thighs because I am a CURVY WOMAN!
I used to be self-conscious about them, but then I learned that so many people have them too! And I figure if there's nothing I can do to get rid of them I might as well accept them! Can't waste your time fretting over things you can't fix. I also used to have them on my butt, but they faded years ago and are hardly noticeable now. So that gives me confidence that the ones on my thighs will fade as well.
Shoulders, boobs, hips, all around the tops of my legs, my lower back and worst of all, horrific ones down my stomach... I struggle with my weight. I used to be a lot bigger than I am when I was a child, but I've put on a bit of Christmas weight haha... I've never got rid of them though.
a little on my Hips but mostly on my inner thighs:/ I'm a little self conscious about them because a couple people pointed them out a several years ago (the ones on my legs, so I didn't wear shorts ever... up until this past year). They have diminished in appearance allot though! I think it was probably from growing, but it could have been from quick weight gain as well.
I have stretch marks on my thighs and I have NO idea where they came from. They're disgusting and so embarrassing; they make me feel fat and ugly. And that's why I'm insecure about them. They're one of the reasons I hate my thighs and hate wearing a bikini.
I don't have any at all. I gained a lot of weight (muscle) over the past 8 months and I still don't have any.
I guess I just have good genetics? My dad used to weight train for sports, he was fairly large and he doesn't have any either (thanks parents for the good DNA).
i have some on my butt because my first season of track in freshman year, I gained a crazy amount of muscle, and I guess a lot in that area, haha. I'm stick thin though, which just goes to show that stretch marks are certainly not any reason to be embarrassed--it definitely doesn't mean you're fat or used to be fat or anything.
