Stretch marks?

Stretch marks don't mean that you are fat. Since you are 16, you just hit a growth spurt a couple of years ago and your hips simply grew faster than your body could keep up with it and suddenly you were left with stretch marks :(!!! The skin in that area stretched too fast and there unfortunately isn't much that can be done about it. Lotions with cocoa er and Vitamin E are supposed to be pretty good for stretch marks, but based on the previous answers, it doesn't work too well. I hate to tell you, but unless you can afford fancy laser treatments, you may just have to learn to live with them. It sucks but what can we do? I'm 20, weigh 125 pounds and I have them on my hips and :(
