I've had stretchmarks on my thights for a few year now. I'm not obese, my legs are about average size and width, and I've even seen fatter people without stretchmarks in their legs. I'm 16 at the moment and I am a male, if that helps.

    Yes, it depends on your skin elasticity and how quickly you gained weight.

      Also growing, if you had a big growth spurt. I've dated a few tall guys who have stretch marks on their back from that.

    Oops. I wish I'd put something on them back then so they wouldn't have scarred up so bad. Lol like when I have a tan all over, you can see them pretty well. I hate it.

    Totally normal. You grow a TON at this age. You're growing to your full adult size. So many people have stretch marks. I do for sure.

    Yeah, it's totally normal, especially if your growth spurts were pretty rapid. I have stretch marks on my hips and my legs and from what I can remember, I went from a size 1 to a size 6 almost overnight.
