I have a lot of huge red stretch marks on the inside and outsides of my thighs, on my love handles, and all over my breasts. I feel uncomfortable in shirts that show my love handles because of the stretch marks and because they are big and I feel uncomfortable in short shorts and swimming suits because you can see my thigh stretch marks. Also I don't like wearing suits that part in the middle like bikinis because my breasts are kind of big so they pop out and then you can see my breast stretch marks. I am not really that fat, but ever snce I started the Seasonal birth control pill (for periods, im not pregnant) I have gained 8 pounds...and my mom said when you gain weight really fast it leaves stretch marks. I know you can never fully make them disappear, but how can I make the stretch marks all over my body fade enough to where I am not so self consious about them? Please help me =] I'm 13/f. Thanks much!

I used to have stretch marks as well and swimming during p.e. was the worst. My breasts are big (with stretch marks) too, so what I did was find a better fitting bikini, Macy's or Robinson's May have cheap, cute bikinis. I tried on less revealing tops and no one would know.
My stretch marks have pretty much vanished over time but if you're really worried, I would try any stretch mark cream. You can get it at any drug store.

But a lot lot lot of teenage girls have them so although you can't get rid of them I would just ignore them. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
