k, well. i'm only 13 and i already have stretch marks on my inner thighs and outter. also on my butt, i'm definetly NOT fat and those areas arent fat either. i don't know why or how i got them but i was wondering is there was ANYTHING i could do to get rid of them. i really really don't want them there and theyre really noticable when i wear my bathing suit. and also if anyone has any information on how a THIRTEEN yearold got STRETCH MARKS i'd be interested.

I know they're not very nice to have, but you should remember it's totally normal.
If they're quite dark, within time, they will settle down to a whiter and more faded colour.
Although they won't 100% vanish without some form of cosmetic surgery, there are many ways to make them look better. You should massage the areas with cocoa butter and when you next go out, look for a product called Bio Oil. Bio Oil is great for uneven skin tones, stretch marks and scars - massaging it in a few times a day helps and within a few weeks you'll notice a difference. Have a good look around at products available and try them out.
You shouldn't let the stretch marks get to you. I can guarantee you're not alone. :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
