Does anybody have these too?

by Chelsea
(VA)

I feel like a middle aged woman, but I'm only 16! Why? Well, because I have STRETCH MARKS! Yes, stretch marks! I have them on my thighs,knees,back,shoulders,etc. It sucks!

I feel ashamed. Why do I have to have them? I grew up so fast that my skin couldn't keep up with my growth so I have developed stretchmarks. For years I've dealt with changing in the bathroom stalls just so I wouldn't get laughed at by the other girls. I know I shouldn't care but they're all over my body. I try to remind myself that they're people who have skin diseases, but that only makes me feel grateful for a little while.

I've tried creams, but none of them have worked. I've lost faith in those types of products. I wish God would snap his fingers and make all of my stretch marks disappear instantly. Who loves stretch marks?! Shoot, I don't.

I was thinking about modeling, but what agency would want a kid with stretch marks everywhere?

I need some uplifting encouragement, so can anybody give me advice? Being tall is emotionally draining me right now.....

Me too!! I got mine when I was 13 and I had this massive growth spurt that shot me up to 6ft tall in less than a year. Horrible growing pains too. They do fade, I'm 16 now and they're no where near as harsh as they used to be. :)

Listen,you have to know that nothing is wrong with you. Yes, people do have worse skin problems so you shouldn't upset over something a petty as stretch marks. If you find a cream that works, then yae to you, but if not then there's no use in feeling sorry for yourself about something you have no control over. I know its angering you because being a teen has to be tough already. I want you to STAY STRONG........and don't give up on that modeling dream (if that is what you still want to do).
