I'm proud of my bod--but not my stretch marks

Check these out, too...

I’m only 13. I’m proud of my body, but I’ve been noticing I’m getting stretch marks on my breasts and thighs. Is that normal?

Good for you for loving your bod, babe! It’s important to be proud of the body that gives you so much, from PRs at swim meets to smooth moves on the dance floor and so, so much more.

As your body grows and takes on a more mature shape, though, your skin stretches to cover everything underneath. That’s what leads to stretch marks. So, as your breasts develop and you hone those moves on the court, it’s completely natural to see changes all over your bod, including in your skin. Take care of it, exfoliating in the shower to clean off dead skin and moisturizing afterward to make sure it’s not dry, and your skin will be in tip-top shape.

im 13 and I have alot of marks on my lower belly and upper thigh and i don't know what they are. I have lost a lot of weight recently and I wonder if that has any thing to do with it. Also, I'm looking for a place to buy fake eyelashes. What store would be safest? (and cheap) thanks a billion :*

Hey girl, sometimes you can get stretchmarks from losing weight but if it makes you uncomfortable talk to your doctor or a trusted adult! And Sally Beauty has great false eye lashes for cheap!

Is there a certain age when stretch marks appear? I'm 11 and i have them on my thighs,hips, and breasts. My mom says it is because i am overweight and still gaining weight but I think it is natural. Who is right?

Hey! Stretch marks appear as you grow, no matter what you weigh, so they will occur naturally as you grow.

I am not very proud of my body. This summer i went on a gluten free diet and my bod looked great, but now i feel much heavier and bigger than all of my friends. I have really big hipps and a lot of stomach flab. I know i should get rid of it and excercise more and probably go back on my gluten free diet, but i just dont have time, in between school and friends and theater and volleyball! Im 5'7" and i weigh 117 pounds. Is this a good weight?

Hey Girl, you are really active which is awesome! keep it up! and you are a very healthy size, you might even be a little underweight. girls always have larger hips and depending on your age you might be developing and that's why you feel like you're heavier. You might need to be on a gluten free diet for another reason to make you feel better, maybe you're allergic? Consider talking to your doctor.

Hey girl, browse the internet! My favorite thing, is looking up new fashion and clothing lines. Check out LoveTagLA Apparel online. They're my favorite new company, and I love following their photos. Plus Girl's Life has tons of articles online to read, especially for around the holidays!
