Yes, 15 year old get it. Exercise gets rid of it.

Are you over weight? i assume you come from the states as your name suggests?

every woman has it - it is a store of fat on the body and the fatter you are the more you will have. females store more fat on their body than males and this is part of what gives us our womanly curves. if you are a size 8 you can cover up bits of your body you don't like and emphasise the parts you are more comfortable with - and still look great! i doubt very much at a size 8 you havee oodles of the stuff, but it is more your perception of how it looks that is the issue. all women have wobbly and hated bits - you just have to learn to disguise them and not give a stuff!

It is not related to being fat - even thin people get it. Exercise does little to shift it.

15 year olds never used to get cellulite, but because of bad diet, little exercise and poor circulation, more and more females are getting it alot earlier. I don't have much now, as I'm a regular exerciser and I certainly never had any in my teens or even early 20's.

Nor me, Velvetee, and I'm almost 30 - and my mother, who's in her 60's hardly has any either. Perhaps it's in the genes? However, I think if youngsters eat properly and get plenty of exercise, there's no need for any dimply bits.

Pear shaped women are more like to get cellulite I would say. Some women have great legs but have a problem with flab on their stomachs instead. It is just the luck of the drawer with body shape. Exercise will only do so much.

Ronie-MayTee, I myself got cellulite at about that age maybe even at 14...cellulite effects alot of women even those with legs like sticks. It is a result of water retention and has very little to do with the size or weight of the person. I ave recently been on holiday and just realised how many women really do have it, the statistics are right!

You can aim to reduce cellulite by:

Drinking plenty of water at least 2 litres a day (reduces the toxins)

Avoiding caffiene (chocolate, coke, tea, coffee etc).

Using a natural body brush in circular movements all over affected area before showering.

Increasing excersize often helps so give it a try.

There are also some creams/gels available although there is a flaw in that it may just be the rubbing it in that causes it to reduce so some say you may as well just do the same motions but with an ordinary moisturiser.

I'm sure theres other ways as well but these are the best in my opinion...finally dont let it get you down as it really is nothing out of the ordinary so you shouldn't really worry about it anyway you don't need to be self concious about it.
