Why do I have stretch marks?

I have stretch marks on my breasts. My mom says it's normal. Is it really, and what causes them?
 
Don’t worry—it IS normal. Stretch marks are generally caused by rapid weight gain or loss, so in your teen years when you’re growing, it’s not uncommon to have 'em.
 

What can ya do about it? Moisturize. Your skin will stretch easier as it grows if it’s hydrated. Check out our picks for good winter moisturizers or find one for extra-dry skin. Shea butter is always a good bet. Other than that, just wait it out--your bod's growth will slow down, and your stretch marks will go buh-bye.

MODMODMOD what are stretch marks?

 

Strech marks are faint lines on your skin.  You sometimes get them after a growth spurt.

MOD MOD MOD MOD So I'm 14, and I've had my period for a little over a year. All the women in my family are "blessed" with being large-chested. I'm skinny, but all the weight I have is on my thighs and butt. I really have NO fat on my tummy or anywhere else in my middle. I only weigh around 125-130 lbs. I have a very high metabolism, so it's very difficult for me to gain weight, and when I do it all goes to my lower half. It seems like my breasts aren't even growing. I'm too big for an A cup, but a B is way too big. Since I've had my period, I've barely noticed a change in my breasts. Since I don't gain weight in my middle, it makes my breasts VERY small. I feel like they aren't growing at ALL, and if they did then they would look disproportionate to my body. I'm genetically "blessed" to have large breasts, but I can't even fill out a "B" cup! Do you think I'll just have small breasts since I don't gain weight on my middle?

 

Hey girl, I think that you aren't done growing yet, so it's hard to say for sure how you'll look when you're done!  It's possible that you will end up with a smaller chest, but there's no way to know for sure.  Try to accept and love how your body is now.  xoxo

I've heard the younger you are that you get them, the faster they'll go away

MOD!
I have stretch marks on the inside of my thighs. It's not a lot but theres some. does that mean i GAINED or lost weight?

 

Hey chica. At your age, it is normal to get stretch marks! Your body is growing so much and so quickly that stretch marks can result. It doesn't always mean you have gained weight. Talk to your doctor is you are really concerned and he or she can help you further!
