Advicelady6798 answered Monday March 19 2007, 1:54 pm: No stretch marks are not bad.
It just means your body is growing faster than it can handle it is nothing to worry about. If you want to get rid of them then using cocoa butter cream will get rid of them. You cna find that in the faily dollar stores or even walmart really cheap. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]
juhi answered Monday March 19 2007, 9:34 am: Stretch marks are normal at your age.You can get them from
1)Puberty
2)excessive amounts of a hotmone called cortisol
3)weight loss/shrinkage of skin for whatever cause
there may be other causes I'm not aware of but stretch marks are common at your age and you don't have any thing to worry about. [ juhi's advice column | Ask juhi A Question ]
