okay, i feel kinda stupid..
when i was younger, i was really overweight and akward.     but then i lost the weight. i'm 5'4" - 5'6". i weigh average, 120. i have stretch marks on my thighs and boobs. i makes me feel bad, because i can't wear shorts and i can't wear shorts i want to!     i also have stretch marks on my hips. can anyone help!?
i'm afraid a guy won't want me for all this..

Don't think so badly of them. Most normal girls will have them, you just need to get used to it.

Use lotion. I think they make certain lotions to make them less notice able. I have the same problem. My friend bought me some stuff from Avon. Its called Super Shape. You could try it

hahahaha, but try coco butter to make them less visible, most girls have them no matter what size they are.

Cocoa buter doesn't work. Try bio oil, you can buy it at Walgreens.

I have some too from growing taller too fast, don't worry. You find a good guy and he won't care. Nothing makes them completly go away except surgery. I hear though if you are young new skin growth can fade out the old.

A jaguar is more exotic.

But to the OP, stretch marks are nothing to be ashamed of. I see them on girls my age (I'm 14) and it's pretty common and not unnatractive. But if they really bother you, there are scar creams and lotions and stuff that cover them and help them fade.

honestly grrrl, many guys don't even care about shit like that. they'd probably just be glad that you're nude in front of them.
