I've had grey hair since I was 9 or 10. My mother says it's from stress which I can believe since I had a pretty rough childhood when I was 5. I just wanted to confirm if this is true or not.

Answer:

It's just your genes. There was a girl in Jr. High, 13 yo, had flecks of white going through her otherwise absolutely black hair. It's not unusual and don't worry about it.

Yes its true.White hair can happen due to stress and dandruff.You'll have to see a doctor and get medication.

DON'T PULL IT. Stay clam and be normal; no pressure. Wash you hair a lot (twice a day or more). Make sure there is no dandruff.

Interesting. Holden Caulfied in "The Catcher in the Rye" had grey hair at 17 after the death of his brother. The stress thing is usually used to explain Marie Antoinette turning grey while she was in the Bastille waiting to be beheaded, but that was apparently because she just didn't have access to her usual wigs and hair dye and was grey all along. And then there was Madeline "Seven was always my lucky number" Khan in "The Young Frankenstein"....
