Nah I got them as a teen in my legs 😭

i’m a literal stick but I got growing stretch marks all across my back and thighs from growing 5 inches in one summer also, just having a higher likelihood for stretch, marks can be genetic

Soooo can we just normalize them pleaseee 😭😭😭

When we’re young it’s more gradual so the skin’s elasticity integrity isn’t compromised

I’m pretty indifferent to my stretch marks, i thought everyone had them…i didn’t realize it made to many people self conscious. I have them all over my body. I guess I’m thankful i don’t feel bad about it

I’m tall and used to be super skinny so I got them as a teenager after finally getting to a healthy weight. I really don’t mind them tho

It’s kinda the same way you can fall out of a tree and then go play soccer as a kid but have a stiff neck for a week from having a bad pillow as an adult. Our bodies r simply deteriorating 🤷‍♀️ but stretch marks aren’t a bad thing, and a lot of us actually did get them throughout childhood lmao. They also fade over time. Don’t waste time worrying abt them, just live life 🫶
