      Yes it does! When you’re growing, your skin grows too, but sometimes if you grow too quickly you get stretch marks, where you skin has stretched as it didn’t grow fast enough.

      Your skin is a huge organ so it grows with you as you get older and bigger, but as Sarah has already pointed out, sometimes it just can’t keep up and stretches too!
