Stress can cause you to have some white hairs, or it may also be hereditary if your parents had white hairs at an early age.

There are also some conditions that can cause white hair, notably a deficiency of B12 or a thyroid imbalance, and if you're very concerned and don't have a family history of early greying, you might want to ask a doctor whether they can give you some information about these conditions or test for them.
Don't worry too much though! Going grey doesn't mean you're cursed to look old. You can easily buy cover-up dyes, and there are many very cool styles you can pull off with grey hair. My father knew a girl in high-school who went white-grey in her teens, and he says she was one of the most beautiful people he knew, because her hair was so interesting, ethereal and cool. :)
