Your scars and Stretches are beautiful! They are a mark of where you have been and how you have grown. They are beautiful and not something to be ashamed of.
uhhh that’s so dumb?? women get stretch marks-that’s a common occurrence. any man that thinks that’s unattractive is one hundred times more unnatractife than the woman he’s talking abt. ty for posting this jessie, we need to stop putting down women ❤❤🌹🌹
I used to be very underweight, didn’t have an eating disorder but was just underweight. When I gained weight by almost 20 pounds I noticed I had stretch marks on my butt, stomach, and thighs and found them beautiful because it showed how much more happy I was.
Stretch marks are so gorgeous, I don’t understand how people find normal human bodies “disgusting” or “ugly” we were all created beautifully and carefully!!
I got stretch marks on my arms (biceps) from working out.. everyone pointing it out and being like, "What is that?" made me so insecure about my arms and, sadly, that caused me to stop working out. I've also started really struggling with food (I've struggled with eating consistently for years, but never this bad). So now I don't think I can start working out again until I start eating better.. Stretch marks are beautiful ❤ And everyone deserves to eat and take care of their body. ♡
This makes me conclude that there's no winning against these judgements. I'm sorry that happened to you and I hope you find the confidence needed to start working out again. Our bodies learning and growing are what makes them beautiful ❤
I have stretch marks literally just from puberty and I love them with all my heart. They're so cute to me, just like freckles, and they show that I've grown and changed
Mine are on my booty🙃 same thing. Anorexia recovery. Went from anorexic to pregnant down to low weight almost anorexic. I'm working hard to maintain where I'm at bc gaining weight has been so hard for me. 1:price of food 2;food allergies 3:stress and ptsd 4:environmental factors Love the pollys!
Honestly it’s so stupid when people think that someone’s body looking different than theirs makes it ugly. Our bodies are made to change and it’s important we understand that
That’s absolutely horrid, scars, stretches, beauty marks, burns, they all make us beautiful in our own ways, scars and burns are badass, beauty marks are unique to each and every person and stretch marks happen to everyone! Wveryone is beautiful in their own way!!
(This is not an attack on the person, the creator, or any readers, its just a rant) Why does everything have to be attractive or not? We are allowed to be ugly, we are allowed to be unattractive. Most people are. Stretchmarks dont have to be pleasing to the eye, thats not the point of them. (They can be, especially to the eyes of the persons they belong to.) Bodies are bodies, and as long as they function to the best of their ability and you care for it to the best of your ability, youre great. We put too much value on being beautiful, and that makes me so f-ing sad that we cant just... be.
@@aminaabuhatab8049i understand it like finding the beauty in life. While being attractive is more related to what others find beautiful i think you can redefine it to be what you find beautiful in you and in life. And of course not everything is in the more "objective" way beautiful or pleasant but it can be for you and that be enough. So you can just be and be beautiful for it
Because of how much our worth has been tied to our attractiveness, if you’re attractive you’re lovable, this is the messaging from society that gets ingrained since childhood.
I got stretch marks on my inner thighs while doing the splits, its always been a source of shame for me and this community is so loving and uplifting. Yall have a good night lovelies
We aren't robots we all have lives that we have lived etc. It's perfectly imperfect. We are all beautiful in our own way . What's the most important is that we are still here when others have passed on to the other side. So no matter your scars whether they are seen or unseen I'm proud of all of you who are still here . We are all healing and growing and it's up to us to decide how we want to be seen etc. Perfection is overrated let's all be perfectly imperfect and continue to live and grow and find things to love and enjoy in this life. 😊
I gained a lot of weight when I was little (Living with grandparents who encouraged overeating because they thought my healthy weight was “too skinny” caused a lot of problems) and still haven’t dropped most of it, but because of this I have a lot of stretch marks all over my body. I already feel really insecure about them, and honestly stuff like that really hurts.
I actually really like my stretch marks, they’re so pretty. All marks on skin are to me, moles, freckles, skin tags, laugh lines. Like you’ve LIVED and you get these pretty marks to show it
I really love when the visual for your videos is you showing off your Polly Pockets because they are so CUTE! (and bring some good vibes for hard topics, love the message too 💕)
I'm so happy you made this video. When i was younger and overweight, i gain stretchmarks around my stomach and breast areas and they were and still are these deep red marks that made me afraid to wear 2 piece bathingsuits at the beach with my friends. It took me so long to actually feel comfortable with them and now I serve with them!!! Its normal for all everyone :)
That's so mean, I think they're beautiful, they just show your journey and how your body has helped you through tough times. When I first noticed stretch marks when I was 12 I hated them, but I love them now💗
i hate the fact that modern culture has normalized scrutiny of random aspects of our bodies like this. beauty trends are so superficial, because at the end of the day our bodies can't just change to meet those standards. thanks for talking about this, ily jessie!!
I have EDS (MANY issues including the collagen in my body doesn’t form right) and it’s given me pretty deep stretch marks in many places. These men saying it’s unattractive comes from pure ignorance of the HUNDREDS of reasons people (including men, ironically) will have stretch marks. EVERYBODY will have stretch marks, if not now then later in life. Nobody is exempt from the body changing, and I wish more people knew this basic principle.
I started getting stretch marks during my first puberty, back when I was still posing as a boy. I'm as fully grown lesbian now and my girlfriend loves them.
This is such a terrible, horrible, and sickening thing. My entire life, I have been insecure of my stretch marks because of how I got them (ana at a very young age -> rapid body growth from me getting healthy again) The amount of others showing their support and adoration for stretch marks is so refreshing. Thank you for creating a safe space for not only LGBTQ+ members but so many other communities!
As a man, well, a trans man, but a man regardless I find a woman’s natural body beautiful, regardless of what that implies. It’s sickening that other men and women will call natural beauty ugly or unattractive because society tells us they aren’t. Nothing is more beautiful than looking like a normal person.
I grew up with my momma having stretch marks and she was so self conscious about them but I always loved them they made her tummy soft and cuddly and I loved giving her hugs over other people partly because of this and I told her when I was like 13 she should embrace them and have them tattooed over as tree roots showing what stretch marks really represent: natural beauty, growth, deep rooted motherhood, and especially the beauty in nature because they’re nothing to be ashamed of or hide and people who judge stretch marks strongly have 1 never felt how soft they are, 2 never had them, and 3 are self conscious about themselves and in turn expect others to uphold some sort of personal preference of perfection. I’ve always said, all perfection is, is your understanding as to what’s perfect. Nothing and everything can be perfect all at once because “perfect” is a subjective term.
All bodies are beautiful growing up I heard lots of comments saying people with stretch marks are ugly which is so untrue but it made me really insecure and scared luckily I know better now and so should everyone else that everyone is amazing and that their bodies are perfect❤❤❤
As a lesbian I don't understand these men. Like, stretch marks are beautiful, and just because I girl doesn't look like an Instagram model doesn't make her ugly. I think "imperfections" like this actually make someone more attractive because they look like a real person.
The stretch mark and stigma is so sad because I used to hate my stretch marks but now I love them. And this is honestly the type of thing closeted men would say yes to just to prove their sexuality. (No hate to straight ppl, most ok u guys r great).
I really love how you phrased it about stretch marks indicating your body has been lived in because that cannot be more true. Im a person, i have faults. I have growths and sometimes physical parts of my body can reflect that and i have to be okay with it, because at the end of the day its my body xoxo
Stretch marks can also be caused by just... growing. I have stretch marks on my friggin' shoulders, and my weight there has never really fluctuated, I just kinda got broad-ass shoulders as I grew up 😭
People forget that puberty, aka a thing almost everyone goes through at some point, causes strechmarks!! It's perfectly normal and happens from just generally getting taller and gaining weight. I wish people thought more before making a comment that might literally affect the most emotionally vulnerable part of a population.
I have stretch marks from my uncontrollable weight fluctuations...so the fact that someone can be seen as unattractive for something they cant even control is...sad
Here's the crux tho. "Is it attractive?". No. It's not. However. "Is it unattractive?" also no. It's just part of a body that's neither attractive nor a bad thing (tho I do hate my own). Saying it's not attractive is not the same as hating on it or being diagusted by it or anything. That being said I will not even attempt to defend the OP, seeing what their username is.
Stretch marks are such a normal thing. They're a sign of growth. I'm not sure why people are so weird about it when literally so many people have them. Like make it make sense
Love this so much thank you Jessie ❤ stretch marks ARE beautiful, not only for what they represent, but they look cool too. Care Bears and Polly pockets were my favorite as a kid, little me would have gone wild over it lol
I 100% agree with this. I don't think people realize how hurtful this can be to people. I think they are beautiful and I have stretch marks from recovery too. And they are a symbol of my recovery and getting thought a hard time. 💗
Im actually fat and dont have stretch marks. It literally doesnt mean anything to have or not have them. Ive had slender friends with no weight fluctuations that have had them since puberty. It's all really random and all of it is good and fine ❤
that twitter account is miserable. every post is just complaints about women instead of videos or stories about women actually being awful. the admin should change the username to My Life Is Awful
I am 18 and have had stretch marks since I was 13 or 14. I have learned to love myself. Before I got them I had issues with bulimia or bulimic tendencies. I am better now and happy with me.
real men call strech marks tiger stripes and find them really badass and beautiful 💪 don't listen to stoopid dumb dumbs, beauties and gentlethems. your tiger stripes are beautiful. and especially for me as an artist, there's nothing more boring to draw than a "perfect" body. every scar or mark tells a story and i love to express that in my art 💕
my partner has stretch marks on his back and i have stretch marks all over my body. i love his and he loves mine because we love each other and our bodies. it's not a weird concept!!
I have very thick stretch marks on the sides of my legs from back surgery when I was 10. They look like scars (like I might’ve been attacked by an animal) but they aren’t. My body grew 2-3” in less than a week- I’m uncomfortable with mine but it’s mainly because I get bad acne INSIDE of the scars or right on top of them quite regularly
I personally think stretch marks are beautiful! I love my stretch marks it shows growth and as a plus size person I have lots of stretch marks on my lower stomach and I think of trees when I see them and it’s really adorable in my opinion. Not in a pity way and not in a sexual way I just think that things like stretch marks aren’t something to be ashamed of and it’s really sad that some women and Afab people feel like their bodies are only good enough if men say so. I’m not a woman but I am a trans man so I have been through many experiences with misogyny and sexism and it fucking sucks and I really empathize with these people as someone who used to have extreme body dysmorphia and also gender dysphoria which is something that I still struggle with A LOT I really empathize with these people because that was me once and sometimes I still struggle with it but try to remember that no matter what other people say the only opinion that matters is your opinion on yourself. ❤❤❤
The fact that stuff like that is on the internet is just sad. I don't even know why people feel the need to put people down. I love how you keep this channel a safe space. Thank you so much ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 From, The Insane Person in Your Comments
Stretch marks are genuinely one of the most magical and beautiful things in life. Like it’s just so _alive_ . It’s gorgeous, like reaching, gentle roots from a breathing tree. It’s your personal little markings and they always, _always_ , have a story to tell. I truly do think they’re stunning. Something so so soft and sweet, yet also a sign of change and resilience. It’s just so beautiful.
Thank you for being so positive and sharing your experience with the world. Makes the rest of us a feel a little more seen and a little more brave. - your friendly neighborhood lesbian
I have stretch marks for various different reasons, many from just living. Life hasn't been easy, and I can't really be upset with a sign of life on my body. ❤
People who make accounts like that simply just to talk down to women about things they are perfectly natural disgust me. Men can get things like that too .We’re all humans and all amazing and for some reason some people just can’t see that.
. People need to learn that your body changes your mindset.. it freaking changes. You may want different things in ten years than you do now but something that always stands true is that your body will always be a roadmap of your journey. Every scar freckle and stretch mark shows where you have been and what you have overcome. It’s never ugly it’s just… you.
I don’t think stretch marks are bad or disgusting but the way certain textures look to me makes me like feel weird kinda in a scared way so I don’t like stretch marks only because of that but other than that they are natural and a beautiful thing
As someone struggling with their weight (overweight around 270 lbs), it's a nightmare seeing my stretch marks. However, I have to remind myself that it's a part of me and it's okay if I have them. We all have different body types and issues we all have to work on. Eating and Body disorders don't just disappear in one day, it's all about getting help and learning how to manage your body. I do apologize if this came off as insensitive. I never struggled with an eating disorder, but losing weight has been a challenge for me lately since I still struggle with being chubby. No one deserves to be body shamed regardless of what we have. P.S. You make me wanna collect Polly Pocket again ❤
I’m a bigger girl have been all my life and I am working on it but because I’m bigger I’ve always had stretch marks. I remember my younger cousin would always ask about them. We aren’t far in age so I know she knew what they were I just think she was wondering why I had them. I don’t blame her she wasn’t being mean but it did hurt especially since she has what would be considered the “ideal body”.
I assume you know this, but I just also wanted to note being big and having stretch marks aren’t always related. People that are your cousins size can still get them, which might be part of why she was curious about them. It honestly has more to do with genetics than it does weight, not saying gaining weight won’t affect the likelihood of them showing up though.
Stretch marks and scars are like a map of your body’s journey through this life, through twists and turns, ups and downs. Your body is beautiful with or without stretch marks and scars and don’t let random people on the internet or even in real life tell you different. Everyone’s body is unique and beautiful and your opinion of your body is the only one that really counts because it’s your body not anyone else’s and you have to live in it so you might as well try to love it. ❤❤❤
Stretch marks are iridescent and unique and so beautiful 💖 As someone who's AuDHD and loves shiny/sparkly/iridescent/holographic things, hearing that definitely helped me look at myself in a better light ✨
i have stretch marks on my breasts and thighs , its just from me growing into my body, its a normal thing that happens im 13 and it upsets me knowing that the internet doesn’t think the same things i think about my stretch marks, obviously mine aren’t like that but they are like a purple-ish color
Your scars and Stretches are beautiful! They are a mark of where you have been and how you have grown. They are beautiful and not something to be ashamed of.
My stretch marks are due to denim jeans... Thanks for saying they are beautiful but they do not represent how I've grown.
@Jacob-kx8go You’re beautiful. Stretch marks be damned
My stretch marks are just from me being fat, although it doesn't make sense since i have been my whole life.
@Jacob-kx8go grown so much that your jeans are imprinting onto you
or something like that I don't wear jeans enough to know
to me they're not beautiful, not gross either. just a human body keeping itself together.
uhhh that’s so dumb?? women get stretch marks-that’s a common occurrence. any man that thinks that’s unattractive is one hundred times more unnatractife than the woman he’s talking abt. ty for posting this jessie, we need to stop putting down women ❤❤🌹🌹
Even some men get them
I swear, people who say that need to touch some grass
Any at all would be a start, I sometimes wonder if they've seen humans before
I used to be very underweight, didn’t have an eating disorder but was just underweight. When I gained weight by almost 20 pounds I noticed I had stretch marks on my butt, stomach, and thighs and found them beautiful because it showed how much more happy I was.
This is actually so wholesome, im really proud of you for finding happiness random internet stranger :))
@ haha thank you I wish you all the happiness in the world as well😊
Your body is meant for survival, and that can be beautiful in and of itself
Stretch marks are so gorgeous, I don’t understand how people find normal human bodies “disgusting” or “ugly” we were all created beautifully and carefully!!
I got stretch marks on my arms (biceps) from working out.. everyone pointing it out and being like, "What is that?" made me so insecure about my arms and, sadly, that caused me to stop working out.
I've also started really struggling with food (I've struggled with eating consistently for years, but never this bad). So now I don't think I can start working out again until I start eating better..
Stretch marks are beautiful ❤
And everyone deserves to eat and take care of their body. ♡
This makes me conclude that there's no winning against these judgements. I'm sorry that happened to you and I hope you find the confidence needed to start working out again. Our bodies learning and growing are what makes them beautiful ❤
I think working out again will give you the appetite to eat food to fuel more exercise. Just a tought
@@zenendrahhernz1371everyone judges for some stupidity
Mine are on my thighs from wearing denim jeans
@@etcwhatever I've considered that, but I'm still unsure if it's a good idea..
I was so insecure about these and it didn’t help that my little sister kept talking about them and asking if they were scars but this helped a lot tyy
She is little and curious, You can teach her what is that ❤
I have stretch marks literally just from puberty and I love them with all my heart. They're so cute to me, just like freckles, and they show that I've grown and changed
That’s terrible :( bodies are meant to carry us through life, not be judged so harshly :((
Mine are on my booty🙃 same thing. Anorexia recovery. Went from anorexic to pregnant down to low weight almost anorexic. I'm working hard to maintain where I'm at bc gaining weight has been so hard for me. 1:price of food 2;food allergies 3:stress and ptsd 4:environmental factors
Love the pollys!
I used to try to get rid of my stretch marks at 13 because I thought it was ugly. So sad we live in a society like this

for people to not be perfect is to be people and you should find beauty in that, if everybody was "perfect" then everybody would be the exact same
@bladehoon I never brought up perfection. I was talking about the individual need to be attractive.
It’s because of social media, celebrity worship, pretty privilege, and society pressures

Scars and stretches are beautiful! Thank you for spreading positivity Jessie 💕
Omg I feel so sorry for the person in the image because people are saying horrible things about their perfectly normal body❤❤❤
Love seeing this kind of positivity! Thank you for sharing this!! 💜
Nooo😭 this post made me sad because I have stretch marks and I'm trying to love them.
The end made me feel better ❤
I got stretch marks on my inner thighs while doing the splits, its always been a source of shame for me and this community is so loving and uplifting. Yall have a good night lovelies
Some men will really just find any excuse to hate women and make them feel bad… stretch marks are definitely nothing to be ashamed of

It’s so messed up people would say that. You can’t find women unattractive for having a body. Yall are all beutiful!

This honestly sucks. I have stretch marks and im trying to lose weight, they’re on the back of my legs too and i hate wearing dresses because of it…
As a guy, I think stretch marks can be really beautiful. Like the bark of a tree or the stripes of a tiger, it’s natural.
I have stretch marks, I’m beautiful, don’t let some dumb internet men bring y’all down❤️🔥
Many women I know have stretch Marcos and there is nothing to be ashamed of if you have them. They’re natural and normal.
My brother (a cis man) has stretch marks from growing too fast. Legit, they just happen, smh...
The same men that say those are unattractive are the same ones that complain about how unnatural makeup looks
This is one of the bravest people I’ve ever seen and I love how real she is
As a man, well, a trans man, but a man regardless I find a woman’s natural body beautiful, regardless of what that implies. It’s sickening that other men and women will call natural beauty ugly or unattractive because society tells us they aren’t. Nothing is more beautiful than looking like a normal person.

Stretch marks are part of growth. I embraced mine and if you don't have them, you probably aren't human.
As a lesbian I don't understand these men. Like, stretch marks are beautiful, and just because I girl doesn't look like an Instagram model doesn't make her ugly. I think "imperfections" like this actually make someone more attractive because they look like a real person.
This was very nice to hear, thank you for being so uplifting
The stretch mark and stigma is so sad because I used to hate my stretch marks but now I love them. And this is honestly the type of thing closeted men would say yes to just to prove their sexuality. (No hate to straight ppl, most ok u guys r great).

I’m uncomfortable with mine but it’s mainly because I get bad acne INSIDE of the scars or right on top of them quite regularly
I personally think stretch marks are beautiful! I love my stretch marks it shows growth and as a plus size person I have lots of stretch marks on my lower stomach and I think of trees when I see them and it’s really adorable in my opinion. Not in a pity way and not in a sexual way I just think that things like stretch marks aren’t something to be ashamed of and it’s really sad that some women and Afab people feel like their bodies are only good enough if men say so. I’m not a woman but I am a trans man so I have been through many experiences with misogyny and sexism and it fucking sucks and I really empathize with these people as someone who used to have extreme body dysmorphia and also gender dysphoria which is something that I still struggle with A LOT I really empathize with these people because that was me once and sometimes I still struggle with it but try to remember that no matter what other people say the only opinion that matters is your opinion on yourself. ❤❤❤
The fact that stuff like that is on the internet is just sad. I don't even know why people feel the need to put people down. I love how you keep this channel a safe space. Thank you so much ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Stretch marks are genuinely one of the most magical and beautiful things in life. Like it’s just so _alive_ . It’s gorgeous, like reaching, gentle roots from a breathing tree. It’s your personal little markings and they always, _always_ , have a story to tell. I truly do think they’re stunning. Something so so soft and sweet, yet also a sign of change and resilience. It’s just so beautiful.
Ive had similar experiences and honestly been super insicure lately but this got rid of some of those insicurities
I just want to say, posts like this are mostly made by people who _really_ lost touch with reality around them
Thank you for being so positive and sharing your experience with the world. Makes the rest of us a feel a little more seen and a little more brave.

actually I have seen this post and voluntarily not read the comments and tbh I didn't need to know what men thinks of this :(
I have stretch marks for various different reasons, many from just living. Life hasn't been easy, and I can't really be upset with a sign of life on my body. ❤
So true i don't understand why people are so mean for such normal things
That is completely screwed up, you are amazing for making this video Jessie
People who make accounts like that simply just to talk down to women about things they are perfectly natural disgust me. Men can get things like that too .We’re all humans and all amazing and for some reason some people just can’t see that.
. People need to learn that your body changes your mindset.. it freaking changes. You may want different things in ten years than you do now but something that always stands true is that your body will always be a roadmap of your journey. Every scar freckle and stretch mark shows where you have been and what you have overcome. It’s never ugly it’s just… you.
I don’t think stretch marks are bad or disgusting but the way certain textures look to me makes me like feel weird kinda in a scared way so I don’t like stretch marks only because of that but other than that they are natural and a beautiful thing
Stretch marks are beautiful just like all women (I’m so gay it hurts and your so pretty Jessie)
As someone struggling with their weight (overweight around 270 lbs), it's a nightmare seeing my stretch marks. However, I have to remind myself that it's a part of me and it's okay if I have them. We all have different body types and issues we all have to work on. Eating and Body disorders don't just disappear in one day, it's all about getting help and learning how to manage your body.
I do apologize if this came off as insensitive. I never struggled with an eating disorder, but losing weight has been a challenge for me lately since I still struggle with being chubby. No one deserves to be body shamed regardless of what we have.
P.S. You make me wanna collect Polly Pocket again ❤
My fiancée has stretch marks and I find them so beautiful, I tell her she is my Aphrodite 😊😊
I’m a bigger girl have been all my life and I am working on it but because I’m bigger I’ve always had stretch marks. I remember my younger cousin would always ask about them. We aren’t far in age so I know she knew what they were I just think she was wondering why I had them. I don’t blame her she wasn’t being mean but it did hurt especially since she has what would be considered the “ideal body”.
I assume you know this, but I just also wanted to note being big and having stretch marks aren’t always related. People that are your cousins size can still get them, which might be part of why she was curious about them. It honestly has more to do with genetics than it does weight, not saying gaining weight won’t affect the likelihood of them showing up though.
Stretch marks and scars are like a map of your body’s journey through this life, through twists and turns, ups and downs. Your body is beautiful with or without stretch marks and scars and don’t let random people on the internet or even in real life tell you different. Everyone’s body is unique and beautiful and your opinion of your body is the only one that really counts because it’s your body not anyone else’s and you have to live in it so you might as well try to love it. ❤❤❤
Ive got stretch marks from... Puberty... And no longer being a child... Like be so fr
Stretch marks are iridescent and unique and so beautiful 💖 As someone who's AuDHD and loves shiny/sparkly/iridescent/holographic things, hearing that definitely helped me look at myself in a better light ✨
Thank you i hope men will change and grow for the better
i have stretch marks on my breasts and thighs , its just from me growing into my body, its a normal thing that happens im 13 and it upsets me knowing that the internet doesn’t think the same things i think about my stretch marks, obviously mine aren’t like that but they are like a purple-ish color
The world is heartbreaking. Skin is skin. Nothing is wrong with how you are. Jessie I'm sure this video helped some people so much. ❤❤❤
