HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | SKIN

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

 
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.

Looking forward to getting them, but I hope I dont get them too bad. My neighbor has and stretch marks and is built more in the chest than I am and she complained about them recently. I care about her but it was TMI at the time. Now I realize its just stretch marks.

lately I haven't been feeling so good. The doctor suggested an endoscopy. What do they do in those?

Hey girl,

I think it is when they look at a specific organ, but I would ask your doctor about the specifics of the procedure!

Lately I've been feeling insecure about my weight. I'm twelve years old and weigh 110 pounds, but all my friends tell me that they weigh from 70-100. It's starting to affect the way I dress at school. I feel constantly judged, I always compare myself to others, and I feel like I can't go to anybody I know for help because it'd be an awkward subject. I also saw this one girl on TV who weighed the same as me, except she was like 20 years old. My sister, who is two years older, weighs the same as me. What do I do?

Hey girl,

Don't compare yourself to other people, just focus on being a healthy weight for yourself! And you definitely shouldn't compare yourself to people on TV because they are so far from being average. You're right to consider going to others for help--it might be an awkward subject to bring up, but a trusted adult can really help you out! They can sort through how you're feeling and a doctor can help you focus on nutrition and not on weight.

I have stretch marks too on the sides of my hip/thigh and they look dark, darker then my skin. I also have kinda-small stretch marks under my thighs, but they look kinda like red-purpleish, like I have been scratched. Does this mean I have the same problem? What do I do?
