Stretch Marks ... and Im Only 13 !!!
Posted: 08-05-07 10:00am

im 13 years of age. and i have stretch marks all over my legs. im a size 8, 5 foot 9 and have never dieted and i havnt gone through rapid weight loss stages. i have stretch marks ALL over my bum, the insides of my legs, and just underneath my bum at the back of my leg. its relly getting me down, because it looks a little bit like cellulite because my skin looks bumpy. i know im tall, and i did grow very rapidly, but most of my friends done that too, yet they arnt burdened wiht loads of stretch marks. ive looked up surgery for them, and there is laser sugery, i think thats what it was called anyway. well, its breaking my self esteem in the summers when it comes to wearing a bikini. is there anything thats good that i can use in the meantime? and do the surgerys really work?? xx

Hello, I know how you feel because I just turned 20 and I had a baby when I was 16 yearsold, I got tons of stretch marks!! Not so many on my tummy actually which is supprising, but all over my bum, thighs, and boobs! It sucks. One thing that helps though is being in shape because it tightens the whole muscle which makes them look not soo much like celulite. Also tanning helps.. if they are new, they are probably pretty dark? Mine were almost purple at first, now they are more like silver. But another good thing I believe helps if you can do it all the time is use coco butter. Other than that i dont know what to tell you, but dont let it bring you down! Almost everyone at some point in their life will get them so dont even worry about it.
