I got awful stretch marks on my hips around age 14? No weight gain, i was still in gymnastics and weighed 100 pounds (i didn't gain weight until high school and i had the marks long before then). Also have them on my boobs. All of mine are white, have never been purple or other color and when the skin is stretched they are very apparent. I've always disliked the ones on my hips and butt because i thought it was so unfair that i got them when i hadn't gained any weight!
I think they are heriditary and also hormonal--which is why men don't get them as often.
