Everyone gets stretchmarks - even men. I think they come from all that rapid growing in the teen years. It´s natural and believe me, worse things will happen to the body, over the years.

Not being a mother myself, I have been very impressed with the cool way mothers deal with the consequences of childbearing. They seem to see every stretchmark and every extra pound and bump as a love-mark - a celebration to their child. I try to view my aging the same - as a celebration of the living I have done so far.

The more you complain, the longer God lets you live.

Shea butter is great for stretch marks.

Hi

I have the white stretch marks too on the top of my thighs.  I have no idea where they came from because I'm not overweight at all, but my mom seems to think they're from 12 years of dance and stretching.  Anyways, I was looking for a way to make them go away the other day and one website I found recommended Vitamin K cream.  I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to.  I'm not sure if you can get it in stores or if you have to order it.  Thought I'd just pass it along!

Hope it helps!

what should i do? no...expensive surgery (if there is any) is out of the question...don't have the bucks for it.
