Insecure about Stretch marks

Au

hey girls, so, this feels like something that isn't talked about much. I have stretch marks on my hips and thighs and they've always made me super self conscious, to where I won't wear bathing suites or short shorts. I got them around the the age of 11, I hit puberty and I think my body grew too fast. I have not accepted them and it made me really uncomfortable when I became sexually active, as I was really worried about what the man I was with would think/say.

I guess my question to you is, do you have them too? How did you get 'comfortable' with your body?

Does your SO accept them?

I'm too shy of them to share a pic Iture, but feel free to if you want and are

comfortable. Sorry if this seems immature.
