Is it possible for a 12 yr old get stretch marks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the skin is forced to stretch faster than it can keep up with then you will get stretch marks. Sometimes from obesity -- rapid weight gain, but this can also happen in very tall kids who are growing fast or girls whose breasts are large and growing fast as well.
