Please keep in mind that your body is growing and developing rapidly during your teen years. You won't be the same weight at 14 that you were at 12 or the same weight at 17 that you were at 14, etc. Your body composition changes as you develop into a young adult. The stretch marks are normal because of the rapid growth and development and changes in hormones. Any moisturizing cream will help with those. Some skin is more prone to stretch marks and may never actually go away, but using moisturizer can help lighten them and be less noticeable.

I would recommend that you review these articles:

well i weight about 135. and i'm only 5'3. when i feel unmotivated i just think about how i will feel once the weight is gone. and i have stretch marks on my boobs as well. it makes me feel really self conscious but i don't know what to do :-/.

so i'm about 120 pounds, and i feel fat. i'm gaining weight like crazy (last summer i was about 100 pounds). i just feel unhappy. i have stretchmarks on my boobs and thighs and i really want to lose like 8 pounds or something, and tone up. i'm also quite concerned about my health, as i binge once or twice a week and i'm addicted to buying big bars of choc that are like 900 calories. has anyone got any tips to stay motivated? i hate the gym too.
