Today, I was shocked to notice that my hair has started growing out entirely silver, supposedly due to pregnancy. I'm 19. Apparently, according to my aunt, "It runs in the family." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I noticed several grey streaks in my hair while putting it in its usual combover. I'm only 18 years-old, and my hair was once one of my greatest sources of pride. FML
Today, as a 17-year-old, after having gone to the doctor to about some unusual hair loss, it turns out I simply have crappy genetics, and should expect to be fully bald within a year. FML
Today, I have dark hairs growing on my chest, nipples and stomach... I'm a 19 year old girl. FML
Today, I realized how bad my grey hair problem has gotten as I noticed I had grey pubes. I'm only 23. FML
Today, I found out, after having my third and last child, that I'm balding. I'm only 23 and quite frankly It's very much noticeable. How did I find out? My four-year-old daughter pointed it out to me, saying, "Mommy, why you shed like the dog?" FML
Today, I'm 20 and I'm going bald. FML
Today, at almost 26 years old, my beard is finally coming in. Too bad it, like the hair on my head, is 50% grey already. FML
Today, at 21 years of age, my doctor confirmed that I am, indeed, going bald. It wouldn't be such a bad thing, even expected, if I wasn't a woman. FML
Today, I decided I wanted to bleach my hair, so I asked my mother for help. Apparently, something went wrong, because clumps of my hair started falling out. Now I'm half blonde and half bald, and my mom is just laughing at me. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor because I have been experiencing hair loss. He insisted on a pregnancy test. My parents then grounded me. I'm a virgin. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Embrace it. My brother went silver at 15. He made it work for him. The chicks go bananas.

Could be worse: what if female balding ran in the family?

Hi there Rogue! That is your name isn't it? Of course you did say it was completely silver. Therefore, you're Storm. Embrace your superhero status.

You'll learn to love it. I think silver hair is really pretty.

At least it's silver and not white. My aunt had a full head of white hair at 16 been dying it since

People destroy their hair to have white/platinum blonde hair at a young age, your aunt should've embraced it :)

I would rather white than silver. My mother has beautiful white hair and I hope mine goes the same way.

It's genetic.... Check to see whether your mother's been dying her hair. Mine has been since she was 19. I never did... same thing happened to me, and I can't get pregnant.

pregnancy and 19? oh wait, that's not the main concern here but the silver hair? we gotta get our priorities straight here..

Hmmm maybe she's married? Maybe she's still going to college regardless? Sure though, don't look back on your life and reevaluate anything you've done that others would have the same ignorant response to.

Apparently ignorance runs in your family.

seriously...I was married at 18 and had my first at 19 who cares!

People of different cultures have different values and lifestyles so I'm not judging. To me getting married or pregnant at 19 sounds crazy, but if that's what works for her then who am I to judge? I can't wait to have kids but I was taught that I need to have a well-established career and buy a nice family house first so I'm not quite there yet. (I think my mom would shit a brick if I had a kid before 30 anyways lol). My best friend had her daughter at 20 though and gets along very well, but she had a supportive family. Hope your family is the same as hers, OP!

My mom did the same thing. Even with mostly silver hair at almost sixty no one believes her age. If you're self conscious, after the baby) you can dye it. Congrats on baby. And good luck.

Dying your hair is so easy now and looks very realistic. Just dye your hair if it's bothering you op, of course you could probably pull it off if you wanted to.

@37 she can't dye her hair now she's pregnant, and it would hurt the baby.

All sorts of weird stuff happens during pregnancy... Silver hair is not that bad at all!

Wow people are so rude. There is NOTHING wrong with wanting to have a baby at 19. You're done with high school and are probably mature enough by now. People need to stfu about how it's a 'bad thing'.

Infact you don't even finish puberty until age 21. So you should wait until.at least then, but its not my body she can do as she pleases. Ill just grumble to myself.

I have nothing against anyone getting pregnant after age 18. Just don't mooch off the government to do so. I like to see my tax dollars go to programs that work.

I feel that having a baby that young isn't usually a good idea, however, if they are mature enough, positive that they are ready, and are at a stable point in their life, then I don't see a problem.

Could be worse. Diarrhea is hereditary too. It runs in your jeans.
