It's completely normal and natural, especially for kids going through puberty because you're growing and gaining weight quickly. It's actually the tissue underneath your skin that is growing so quickly...even though your skin has a little bit of stretch to it, your body is growing so quickly that the skin cannot accomodate and so stretch marks appear!
You can try to use suntan lotion to try to mask the lines. If you are in your teens (which I am only assuming) there is a good chance that these marks will fade as you get older. However, when you get older (say 18+) you may consider seeing a dermatologist who may be able to treat you for your stretch marks.
She shouldn't be embarassed to talk to her mom about something so minor as this!
