Sounds like all the wins to me. Congratulations

Wow!!! Have a great life OP!!

Excellent!

Me too! Only 2% of the population are in this category - it means our blood usually goes to the premature baby ward.

I'm so sorry for the unspeakable pain and trauma this individual had to endure. I truly hope that they have found peace.

It took me a second to realize what "massa genes" meant... I'm sorry your ancestor went through that while also being enslaved. People suck often times when they think they have power over others.

Congratulations!

This actually sounds quite cool, if it was making you feel bad. You look like a grandmaster from an anime, and you can just go 'The lecturer is over there. I'm the student', when people approach you.

Well, at least white is prettier than gray. IMO

Mine happened a little later - started going grey at 16, nearly completely white by late-30s. And it's hereditary in my family - my Mom started going grey at 16 and so did her Mom. We all have beautiful white hair just I color mine crazy colors all the time. Definitely makes it'd easier to color when you don't have to bleach!

My friend of 50 years has this and is now 80 with a full head of hair !

Lucky you! I have a few friends that were completely bald by the time they were 18 to 20! And they had long locks up until then.

I'm a natural blonde and I've spent hundreds trying to get my hair that perfect shade of platinum. So Jealous.

people with white hair look so cool... like a wizard or a Targaryen or something.

I knew a man who fish hooked his eyebrow and it went completely white. Was interesting.

This brings to mind the great song: Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm - By: Crash Test Dummies Once there was this kid who. Got into an accident and couldn't come to school. But when he finally came back. His hair had turned from black into bright white. He said that it was from when. The cars had smashed so hard.

Matt LeBlanc had grey hair while working on Friends. They had to dye it often.

For comparison, I am going grey at 68, but of course I *look* like that; you don't!

Same. White as white can be. Not a hint of yellow or blond. Happened around 12/13. Also have chromesthesia (a form of synesthesia) and had an eidetic memory as a child, the latter which all people outgrow, leaving some with a phenomenal memory. Side note, neither of eidetic nor photographic memory exists in adults. Most of this has been a hinderance and caused difficulties through my life that I’ve had to manage. Except for having the white hair, which is an awesome canvass for Manic Panic hair colors.

I relate. Started going grey at 17. Had a streak by 23 down lefr side. Totally gray by 35

I started noticing white hairs in my beard for the last two years now. Granted, I'm in my late 20's now.

I started going grey at 21 but 21 years later and still only a few ( fairly think ) streaks

It could be due to a lack of magnesium.

I have a natural streak, people always ask me about it, it’s no fun.

Mine too! Started dyeing my hair at 13 but now that I'm 51, sometimes I just leave it white for months at a time.

This is great! Unlike myself - I started losing my hair and had my hairline receed around 15 (I'm otherwise perfectly healthy) just like both my grandpas (my dad is like 70 and has much more)... But I'm almost the same age as Prince William and doing much better... At least in that regard... Definitely nothing else, lol!

I'm 48 and wishing my hair would go grey. It's a mousy brown or I guess what they call dishwater blonde. I hate it. A few silver pieces have started to pop up. But not enough to be noticeable. I'm ready for grey hair and to not have to color it to hide the hideous brown color it is. My husband is same age as me and is totally grey, almost white. At the rate my hair is going, I've got at least another decade.

My Mom told me she was completely grey by age 16. My dad's hair was jet black until he was 80.

Graying at 18, balding at 25, and the remnants are salt and pepper. My dad and his brothers have full heads of white hair, and mom's side still carry black hair into their 70's. I think I'm adopted

I’m imagining the 10’s of thousands of young women dying their hair grey to be fashionable thinking how unfair life is compared to OP.

Mine started to go at 11 and at 42 I'm far more salt than peppet

No you are blonde!

I spent most of my childhood in foster care from 6 to 18 years old. My foster home was in the ghetto in Milwaukee (52306 area code). I earned a BA Degree and MDIV Degree...

I'm a gay man, and I simply don't "do" fashion. Also, I'm totally into cars/autosports and aviation. Femininity? Not a chance! I break all the stereotypes about gays.

I made my first purchase on amazon when they were only selling books... god I'm so old o_O

Just a little jelly

Please don't downvote me, but can someone explain this?

I have the same and also struggle with names. I tend to memorise details (facial hair, accents or hairstyles) to get anywhere. Luckily, people are supportive.

can we have a gym bro translate this pls?

I have mixed feelings about this one. I’m so grateful for the first responders, and I do cry for losses as well

I... I'm imagining the skull.... h1bip00htwy31.jpg

This is much more common than we realize. Evidently, 3% of all people in the world have this.

F**K CANCER!!! >:D

you´re a very successful monkey :)

Nothing is impossible. The chance may be low, but never zero.

My son has partial heterochromia, green eyes with a large brown spot on each iris. My cousin has central heterochromia, a blue center, and a brown outer ring.

That's a terrible condition to have along with bipolar disorder. Irregular sleep is known for triggering manic episodes. (I learned this the hard way.)

My Dad is allergic to alcohol, found out when he was in the hospital with meningitis. This was back in the '50s, and because his fever was so high, the doctor recommended an alcohol rubdown to try to reduce his temperature. Dad quickly started puffing up and having difficulty breathing, so they immediately washed it off, but the doctor told him if he hadn't already been in a hospital, he might not have made it to one. ( This was long before EpiPens were a thing. )

3rd times a charm?

I would hate this. I was a celebrated, gifted belcher in university (am a petite female, it was both disgusting and hilarious)

I had the MMR and still got mumps. It's not foolproof

My sister can blow bubbles out of both her eyes (obviously while submerged in water, not like she's she's blowing bubbles while just casually walking down the street.)
