Stretch marks as a teenager?

[Goalie1125]

I recently discovered that I have stretch marks all on my thighs and butt. I work out about 3 times a week but nothing super hard. Am I gaining weight? Is my butt and/or thighs getting bigger? Has anyone else had this as a teenager? If so feel free to leave an answer.

Yeah, I got stretch marks in 7th grade on my thighs and butt. It's a natural part of going through puberty, you're body is becoming more feminine, your hips are getting wider, etc. Stretch marks are normal, nearly everyone has them.

Yup. When I first noticed them as a teenager, I wasn't gaining weight--it was just puberty I'm sure. They fade a bit over time, and some people say applying Bio Oil helps, but I never found it very effective.

Stretch marks happen when your skin stretches out and loosens up. It's simple.

Almost everyone gets them.
You hit puberty, and boom.

You dont even have to gain a lot of weight.

Growing taller, getting hips, boobs, a butt.. that'll do it.

Its almost purely genetic and onset at puberty.

Yeah, they are pretty common. It usually happens when you hit puberty and have your major growth spurt. Or if you gain a big amount of weight in a short period of time. But it is a completely normal thing, so don't worry.

Try cocoa butter on the scars

Its a normal thing

By far most girls get them, don't worry.
