Is it normal to have grey hair as a teenager?

This probably the worst insecurity of mine. I started growing grey hair at the age of 15 and its becoming worse and worse. My friends are starting to notice it and I often hear strangers talk about it behind my back. Its probably in my genes since my sister have the same problem but mine is way worse. Does anyone have/had the same problem?

    I know it can be genetic or stress related. I got my first grey hair late last year, at the age of 21. I don't recall being under stress at point but early this year, I was extremely high amounts of stress and I started to have more than one grey hair. I haven't been noticing them since. When I first started getting them, it bothered me a lot. This eventually turned into me wanting to have more grey hairs. I don't think you should be ashamed of having them. Grey hair is beautiful and a unique sight to see since so many people are dyeing their hair in an effort to hid it. Don't let the stupidity of others get to you.

    It's normal. Genetics can be weird. My brothers and my sister all have grey in their hair.

    Julian Assange seems like a good example of this

    It might be because of the water you use to bathe. Use soft water and avoid hard water.
    Its a condition you can't help, f the haterz, you don't owe them shit, work on self improvement and become a great human on the inside. People are going to hate everyone anyway might as well give them a reason

    • I dye it from time to time but doing this ruined my hair. Id rather get a permanent solution than a temporary one, but I don't even know if that permanent solution exist. Oh well, I guess I just have to suck it up hehe

    I wish all the white hairs on my head would grow in the same place so I'd have a white stripe either near my right temple or along my part on the right side of my head.

    I have white hairs all over my head, they're really shiny and bright. They won't stop coming until they've won or I'm dead.
