Answers:
Stretch marks are natural events usually in your teens as your body changes from a girl into a woman. They also occur with weight gain and pregnancy. It is genetic and hormonal . Not much can be done to prevent them.

Any amount of weight gain can cause them. It can also happen when you mature, during puberty. It's just the way it goes... I think it has a lot to do with genetics.

You get stretch-marks from gaining weight.

Stretch marks can forms from several things pregnancies puberty, or even rapid weight gain. And the skin stretches and when that happens the skin kind of makes these scars. Another way is loosing rapid weight or weight from a pregnancy and the skin goes from being stretched to loose and they form little marks.
