I knew this girl who was pretty heavy in grade 6, and she had strech marks all over her, and my mom had strechmarks from pregnancy, and those were the only ways that you could get strechmarks, or so i thought. When i was 12,i started getting strechmarks inside my thighs, i was so confused, but i just tried to ignore it, it was winter after all. Summer is my favourite season, and the pool is part of that, but im so uncomfortable in a bathing suit now. i was always that tiny girl, the girl that they would lift up, i was active, involved in soccer and track, why was this happening to me?? a year later i decided that it was really bothering me, so i looked it up and apparantly you can get strechmarks from puberty D:. As if it wasn't enough, bleeding every month, my breasts were really sore, and now , for the first time in my life, i'm self concious. now i have strechmarks on the upper portion of my thigh, and on my hips, iand i find it extremely noticable. I'm 14 now, and i'm just thinking wow, i'm stuck with this for the rest of my life. the hard part is, there's nothing i can do about it, because i can't go out and buy creams and stuff. My mom doesn't know about it, i'm too embarassed to tell her. Right now im just worried about my trip to cuba, where i'll be on the beach with these intense strech marks. Thanks for your support guys, makes me feel more confident, a boost that i really needed.

I was about twelve years old when I got those hideous things. At first I wasn't quite sure what they were, so I really didn't do anything about it. I didn't think it was possible for someone who was as skinny as me to get them. I used to just believe in the typical stereotypes about stretch marks that only overweight or pregnant people got them. Everyone I tried to tell about them, would laugh at me and tell me to shut up because I'm as skinny as a stick and there was no way I had them, boy everyone was wrong. I guess I got them from just getting taller, but I didn't know that could happen. I just wish I would have acted sooner while they were still red/purple so that they would have a chance at going away. Now I am stuck with them forever and it's not even something to be proud of. They aren't the result of a beautiful little baby or the success of overcoming weight loss. I have nothing to be proud of about them, and that's why I hate them so much, they have no story behind them, no purpose. In reality, I know that no one can even see them, unless I'm completely naked or in a bikini, but for me just seeing them myself is enough to make me go craxy! I'm not trying to be perfect in any way, I have plenty of other scars and imperfections on my body that I am fine with, because I feel as though they are battle scars from something important or special. But there was no reason for me to have these and I hate them with every fiber in my being. It makes me even angrier that I only have them on my left hip, and not my right. I don't even understand how that's possible since both of my legs are the same size. I just think it's ridiculous and I can't stop kicking myself for not doing something about it sooner.Mystical_Dreamer91https://www.blogger.com/profile/16594586264788069282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-8213290768595609222009-02-11T02:51:00.000-08:002009-02-11T02:51:00.000-08:00You want stretch marks..

I just wanted you to see it from another perspective. You are probably more beautiful than you realize and it isn't just physical beauty. I have a story that relates to this topic. A couple of years ago when I was feeling not too pretty we bought some angels for our christmas tree. While we were hanging them my son pointed to a very beautiful angel and said "look mommy, that one is you!" It had similar characteristics to me but I in no way felt as beautiful as that angel looked. That is how other people see you, they don't look into the mirror and see the flaws we see, they see you as the beautiful angel hanging on the christmas tree. I do hope you have a wonderful day because you deserve it, I really enjoy reading your blog.<BR/>hugs,<BR/>LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-89091141762455001582008-02-25T23:19:00.000-08:002008-02-25T23:19:00.000-08:00Just wanted to add something again after reading t...Just wanted to add something again after reading the newer comments: I was thinking about what the last poster said, about how its a reminder on what we've been through. thats a good way to think about it.

I am a mom of a 14 year old so I can say I got them from the miracle of childbirth but they are huge purple and ugly. It's ok though, they look good next to my varicose veins and gigantic surgery scars, two of which are on my neck for everyone to see. I am still here to hide them. When I start to give myself a little pity party I think about how lucky I am to be here to be at my pity party.

I was the tallest girl in my grade and i just grew like a weed and then stopped abruptly in the 6th grade. i had stretch marks underneath my arms, on my hips, on the outside of my pre-puberty mosquito bites. i remember a friend pointing at them and going "what the HECK are those?!". i went home crying to my mom but all she could do was buy me some coco butter. since age and skin elasticity was on my side, my stretch marks are all but gone. this little white ghost lines that remind me of the reason that women are so strong. when i became a freshmen in college, swapping physical exercise for brain exercise put me at about 30 lbs more than i weighed on day 1. by the end of the year, i had ugly red stretch marks RIGHT on the front of my belly. they are like little red hands holding up my gut. i hate them. but i know they will fade, if not forever but possibly out of my self-conscienceless . and in the meantime, they have these adorably cute, backless one piece bikinis that are all the rage now :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-15227307583451626822008-02-24T19:57:00.000-08:002008-02-24T19:57:00.000-08:00You can go ahead and love your stretch marks, but ...You can go ahead and love your stretch marks, but for some reason just knowing that mine aren't from babies, I think I can't love them... LOL! I know mine are from french fries :) I'm not bathing suit ready yet, but I'm getting close... I doubt anyone can see them the way I see them though. Most women have teeny stretch marks and we see them with our own eyes. My husband has never once noticed them until I pointed them out. He wanted to know what the big deal was :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826341870728281098noreply@blogger.com
