I'm only 14 and i'm already getting a lot of stretch marks around my thighs and legs area. It's because early last year, i used to be SUPER thin, weighing only about 95-100 pounds -- but then my parents realized i was underweight for my height, so i started to eat a lot more. the summer of that year, i began eating whatever i wanted to gain weight, and in no time, i was at the "ideal" weight and was very happy with my figure.

a few months later however, i didnt notice that i had been eating wayy too many unhealthy snacks and foods and i noticed my thighs were getting significantly larger. i looked more closely and saw reddish-pink lines on the inner thighs, but now those stretch marks seem to be growing in number!! its embarrassing to have them because i cant wear shorts and skirts with confidence now... its usually just long pants for me at this time.

i think i'm getting stretch marks because i gained a lot of weight TOO quickly so it stretched my expanding skin. i really want to get rid of them permanently and would like to know an effective way of doing this. so my first question is,
Is it normal to be having stretch marks at 14? and
Is there an effective exercise or diet plan i can follow to get rid of them?

PLEASE HELP ME~!

It's totally fine to have stretch marks at your age, it usually happens when changes happen TOO QUICKLY,
My sister got them around 13 because of her growth spurt,
I don't know how to remove these stretch marks, but I searched it up and this page might just help:

hope it works for you. (:
