Stretch mark madness

 

 

Babe, the stretch marks you’re seeing are totally normal. Think about it: Why do we call these lines “stretch marks”? It’s because you get them when your skin stretches. As your breasts develop and grow larger, girls start seeing stretch marks on their boobs (and around their hips and bums) because the skin itself has to stretch to cover the breast tissue.

 

Not a fan of the way they look? Using a loofah or washcloth in the shower to exfoliate, and following it up with lotion or moisturizer once ya drive off will help them become less noticeable over time.

Eek, i have this prob, but the marks are dark purple, and I have pink ones on my thighs. The thigh area is prob cuz i lost weight, but how on earth do i get them to go away?!?!

 

There are lotions that help get rid of stretch marks. Anything with cocoa butter is normally pretty effective. I would try that if i were you! xoxo kerra

Sorry for you! However, I personally recommon Pure Cocoa Butter. It works wonders! If you can't find it, look for it as a cream or lotion especially if it says it's for pregnant woman. Stretch marks melt within weeks! Not to mention it makes skin firm and soft. Good luck.

1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS

hey i have noticed that whenever i rub my boobs there are lumps under them. my mom says its just growth and i have nothing to worry about, but i dont know. i havent had my period yet, but i do have healthy discharge. Also, i need MORE help. whenever something bumps into my boobs i seriously feel like crying it hurts so bad. they arent big yet, just little nubs Smile. HOW CAN I MAKE THEM HURT LESS?
love,
unicornsister




Hey girl, unfortunately that boob pain is just part of being a girl. It's going to be sensitive area from here on out, so be careful. True story: when I was in seventh grade, I tripped on my heel and fell flat on my chest and it hurt like no other. I've learned since then to grin, bear it and always wear a bra to keep the area supported. As for the lumps, like your mom says, no worries. They're just growing.

I've got the worst black marks under my eyes - I've never seen anyone else like it! I don't remember how long I've had them but I've found them a problem since I was about 11.
I get enough sleep and eat fairly healthily so I don't know what it could be. My mum thinks it's makeup residue but even after showers, face wash and scrubbing nothing happens Frown
It's really noticeable and makes me look tired and washed out - it's starting to have an effect on my confidence, what can I do? Thanks Smile




Hey babe,

Read this article all about it! It can be helpful to know some of the causes of under eye circles to understand them better. Remember you can always dab a bit of concealer on them (just a dot or two, blended with a makeup sponge or your finger) to banish them for a bit Smile

Clear and shiny. In little chunks? It is very confusing.




Ah ok. As long as it's not HARD, it sounds like normal discharge to me! If it is very chunky like cottage cheese and has a foul/fishy odor (and if it comes with itching), it could be a sign of a yeast infection. But if it's normal and just seems a little thick, don't sweat it! Smile

Is it wrong to not be able to figure out if it is your period or not? I have had spotting twice, and right now I just can't figure out if it is my period, because I had a dot or two of blood 4 days ago, and then the next day a little bit of blood and crystal stuff. Is a 2 day period normal, even though it didn't mess with my panties? ANd also, is the crystal stuff normal?




Hey babe,

It's totally normal to have some spotting in between periods, but usually periods last longer and get much heavier than that! Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "crystal stuff." Is it hard crystal-like stuff? Or is it just clear and shiny, like crystal? If it's just clear and kind of gummy, that's discharge. But if you're experiencing hard crystal stuff down there, I'd probably ask my doc just to be safe!

My sister wanted to make a GL account, but we share an email address.
Our mom knows that we are getting her a profile, she just won't make a new email address for her!
Is there any way that we can make a new account with the same email address. It says that we can't.




Hey girl,

Unfortunately, it's a rule with our web system that each account has to have a unique email address - that means we can't make exceptions to the rule, even if we wanted to! Try using your mom's email address or explaining the sitch to her and asking her to make a GL account email address specific for your sis. I'm sorry!

I'm 15 5'1 & weight about 100lbs but for some reason I have stretch marks on the sides of my hips. They're not very noticeable from far away but I can still see them. I have no hips so what can be the reason for the stretch marks? I've already talked to my mom about it & she doesn't know either. Thanks !

why is it that when i typed my weight on my last comment it just showed up as ... why?




I took it out because I don't like to give the other GL.com girlies a chance to compare themselves weight/height-wise to their peers. It makes it too easy to get all worked up about the numbers...and it's not about that! It's about being healthy and treating yourself well.

i am 12 years old and i am 5 foot 4 and i weigh .... pounds. is this a good normal weight, i am almost the heaviest girl in my class. what r some good workout and eating tips for losing some weight? and is this a normal weight, and i dont want to talk to my doctor about this.




Hey girl,

Sorry, but I'm not a professional - you have to talk to doc to get details about the "normal" weight for your height/age! As for diet/exercise, try to do some cardio every day. Even 30 minutes of kickboxing, jogging, playing soccer, etc. will help a lot to get you moving. Try to cut down on portion sizes during your meals, incorporating more veggies and healthy foods into every meal. Limit snacking to a SMALL treat every day, then gradually move to every other day, then again gradually to once a week. Don't deprive yourself - just be more aware!

Hey babe,

Try Clean & Clear's Foaming Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin (it has a minty green label). It's great and gentle - and will totally help protect your skin from blemishes and acne Smile

I'm trying really hard to lose all this excess weight ( especially now since halloween) but its really hard!Especially because i keep getting these sugar cravings and giving in to them. how can i lose weight fast and stop the sugar cravings? Thanks so much!!!




Hey girl,

I totally understand! It's really rough. Try making a calendar of all the workouts you're going to do each day. It's really satisfying to cross them off with a marker after you've done them! Mix things up so you constantly keep your exercise schedule fun and exciting. On that calendar, also write one treat you're going to give yourself that day. Monday might be a brownie, Tuesday might be a Kit Kat bar, Wednesday might be a small piece of cake, etc. Stick to this so you always get your sugar fix, but you don't take it too far by eating huge portions of it!

HELP!! just today I got TWO cold sores both on my lower lip, right next to each other!! the last time I've gotten one was at least a year ago. I heard they come from stress, and I have had tests at school all this week. other than cold sore medication/ointment how can I get rid of these FAST!?? they're really ugly and I have school tomorrow Frown

 

Sorry, love.  The only thing you can do is use the cold sore specific items.  Cold sores have their own causes that can only be solved through medicines like this.  Otherwise, you can always try to cover it up.

Mod I have these weird red bumps on my arms! They don't hurt and everyone I know has some. They look like mini pimples, but they don't hurt and I don't have acne. They also have white stuff inside...what could they be?

 

Hey girly, they could be pimples about to burst. When bumps are going to pop, they get filled with puss, which is the white stuff. Don't pop them girl because you'll even up with little scars or scratches on your arm. Try applying to acne solution, like Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, or Burt's Bees  acne wash to them. Hope this helps! Smile Smile
