For instance, one of my friends wants to become an Ed. Psych (something I can't do as I don't have a psychology degree) and is doing teacher training at the moment to get there.
No there isn't anyway to get rid of them but they will fade over time. Every teenager gets them especially on the chest, hips and stomach (even if you lose weight as you get older). Maybe try coco butter from the body shop to help fade them quicker
