Yep, I'm gettin' up there, apparently. I've had friends tell me today that in the back of my hair I had a few grays. Someone wanted to pull one out to show me, even though at first I thought the light was probably just hitting it funny, but I let her pull it to show me anyway. Oh my god. She wasn't kidding. At first I thought she was just fooling me and she gave me a piece of dental floss and said it was my hair. But she apparently was serious (you could see the white flesh tip at the end). Part of the strand was greyish silver, while a lot of it seemed nearly pure white. And it felt different that normal.
I turn 15 on the 22nd. Seriously, is it normal to have grey hairs this young? I mean, one is one thing, but the way this thing looked wasn't good. And they said I had "like 20" greys. Since it's in the back where I can't see, I don't know yet. And I didn't feel like taking a picture, but I probably will soon or atleast ask my mom when she gets home because that seems weird.
My dad probably went bald before getting grays. But I'd rather have grays than nothing. Maybe it's just a few and I won't get anymore, but if I do I really don't want to dye it. I was trying to keep it natural for a while.
So yeah that's it. Help.

Premature greying can sometimes happen. I have a friend who at 15 had some grey hairs, and my great-grandfather had completely white hair by the time he was in his early twenties. I'm not sure how entirely 'normal' it is, and I don't know a lot on the subject, but I just thought I'd let you know you aren't a completely abnomally.

It turns out my friends weren't lying. I found one in my scalp, I tugged a little to make sure it wasn't dental floss. :P It was still attatched to me, so I guess it wasn't.
Yeah, I've heard that you can get a few greys at a young age. Supposedly, for your whole head to turn gray/white is hereditary, so apparently a few grays don't say anything.
My hair is dark too so they look white against it.

Take it from the better side...
You won't have to bleach it to dye an unnatural color. :)

her mom had it too so its prob hereditary.

Hahah, that's exactly what I was thinking!
I wish I had a full head of white hair. I'm naturally dark haired, being Asian and all..
