Stretch muscles can occur even on thin people--it just means that you've grown a little too fast for your skin to catch up. Body builders get stretch marks too, because of the large muscles they build.

This is much more common than you probably realize. It happens in kids and teens during growth spurts (or in cases like yours where you build muscle). There really isn't anything you can do to get rid of stretch marks, but they will usually fade over time. It's pretty normal and common.
