stretch marks

I heard that vitamin E oil will remove stretch marks off the skin. I am 21 years old and have stretch marks from normal growth close to my buttocks which makes it hard to wear a bikini. What can i do to get rid of these marks?

I am 15, male, 6', and 300 lbs. Although most of my weight is muscle, I have stretch marks on my upper arms and chest. Of course, I do not find them attractive, and have yet to find a girl that does. I have read a lot of information and have asked many people, and they all say that they will fade. Well.. BIG DEAL!!! If they fade they will still be there and noticeable. Laser surgery? Unless you have a good couple of thousands of dollars, forget it. You just have to accept that they will be there, just like your birthmarks. All I can say is if someone doesn't like you because you have them.. I guess they have a worse problem than you. Besides looks, what major threat are they? Thanks& good luck

I am a 17 year old teenager, I am about 6'4 and 225 pounds.  I have stretch marks all over my body from the backs of my knees to my back and my chest.I am wondering If it is to late to get rid of them, and what are some of the ways I might beable to help them go away.  I am afraid to even take my shirt off in front of people.  I can't even stand to look at myself in the mirror any more.  I heard people talking about how laser surgery can help remove them, and I was wondering how much it costs.  I don't think Ican go through life trying to hide my body under long pants and shirts, but I am to embarrassed to tell my mom and father.  I am in desparate need of help, please somebody respond
