WTF? Grey hair at 18?

[pennylane]

I once had a grey hair when I was really stressed out last year. I was 16 at the time. It was a little depressing, but I knew it was stress and it was just one hair, so it was all good.

I had a friend in Jr. High that was getting grey hair. He was from Korea I think, but it was hereditary in his family. Very strange, looked kind of cool I thought.

My friend who is 18 has lots of grey hair.

Is it really stress? Or a wives tale. I got a lot of grey hair, and I'm 20. My friends tell me all the time, 'hey you know you got grey hair.'

I'm 20, and about half of my facial hair is gray. My dad was completely gray by the time he was 27.

Hell, you shouldn't feel that bad--my sister's friend has had gray hair in her head since she was about 12-13 (she's 15 now). I imagine she must deal with a good bit of stress to be graying that young.

There is a guy I know who is in his early 20's and is almost completely grey. It is the strangest thing.

I got a bunch of grey hair too and I'm only 19. My folks tell me that it runs on my mom's side of the family since my uncles both had it and so did my grandfather. Although most of my friends always ask me if I'm stressed....

I'm 34, and I've just recently started noticing a gray hair or two. Odd, because my two older brothers have had it for years, and it runs in my family. If I let my beard grow, however, it's a 50/50 mix of brown/gray.. I am thankful, however, for the fact that I show no sign whatsoever of going bald.

I started getting grey patches when I was 11/12 years old. Now 24 years later I still have them - about 5 or 6 of them. They are about dime sized and over the years have slowly moved around my head. Sure I got the occasional "Look everyone he has grey hair!" shout in school. But I figure if that is the way I'm made, I'm just keeping it that way.

My mom just started getting it when she was around 50...
