I understand where all this curiosity is coming from. I'm going through the same thing.... but I started getting white hairs in 7th grade. I'm 19 now and already have several.

Stress does cause white hairs but genetics helps a lot too. You probably have more than 5 white hair, you just don't notice them until they are about the length of the rest of your hair. If you look closely, or have a friend look for you. You will probably notice different lengths of white hair.

The plus side of all of this is with a simple trip to your hair stylist You can forget those white hair were ever there.

Good luck!

White hair(usually referred to as grey) is total lose of pigmentation. We usually see this in older people, but, it is not all that unusual for younger people to get some white hair. Most of the time, this is a heredity problem. I suggest if it is really bothering you, try a Semi-permanent color, non-peroxide. That way is washes out in 4-6 weeks.
