I'm 15 years old and I have lots of gray
hair i've been told it's caused by stress,
but other people tell me it's because I
get angry all the time. Which is true?

Hair Turning Grey Too Early... Posted: 09-25-03 20:11pm
Grey hair can be caused due to high levels
of stress, i'd be concerned about you
being highly stressed at the young age of
15, there should be councillors, doctors
or family & friends who can help you
overcome things that are bothering you.
You may have anxiety in which case there
is definately treatment available. My
auntie turned completely grey in about 5
days after her daughter died, this was
something that she has never gotten over,
but at the time she was a complete wreck.
Other factors can be genetic, has anyone
else in your family gone grey at an early
age ? There are some wonderful permanent
hair colours on the market now days that
cover over grey completely, and they are
very natural looking. So if it bothers
you enough then that is what I would
suggest to gain your confidence back
again.

Well I know a guy who has alot of white
hair and it is genetic because he has like
no stress at all. And my husband has some
white hair and he says he gets it from his
dad. I just say hes old! Hes not really
(only 25) but I like to bug him about it!

Nikki, I think what the lady is trying to
say is that she is 15 and has grey hair,
this is not normal. You seem to be
referring to people who are twice this
girls age who are grey, which is to be
expected. I don't think she is concerned
about your dad, or husband going grey from
old age, but more so going grey from
stress.

Cindy you _seem_ to be a doing it
person!!! You have been attacking nikki
on every post she's been on. Leave her
to her alone!! Geeez!!
She was not refering to anyone twice this
girls age. I don't recall her stating
anyone's age except her husband, who is
25. And if you do your math...15 x 2 does
not equal 25.

I'm 19 and a am more stressed than stress
and I don't have gray hairs at all. It
might be something in your family that
cause the gray hair and your anger ticks
it off.

I didnt only mean my husband, and I said
he gets it from *his* dad, not mine. My
friend bruno was 19. And he was real cool
and calm, but had alot of white hair and
it was genetic too. He didnt even bother
dying it. It didnt bother him, but it
might be genetic. And my husband is not
stressed or old, thank you. He is very
happy and funloving.
Thanks carvytaph!!!

I have known several people over the years
that were 25-50% gray haired while still
in their mid/late teens. It is probably
just something genetic, having nothing to
do with nerves or anger. Just get a box
of hair color and don't sweat it.
Hi, I went to school with a girl that was
going grey at 15 also. I don't think it
had anything to do with stress. I think
some people are just predisposed to go
grey earlier than others. Does it really
bother you? Do you want to colour your
hair? There are so many cool colours out
there now, you could even streak your
hair, if your mum or one of your friends
would help you! I think it would be
really hard to do that on your own!!
Have fun with it!!
