Is it better to pluck white hairs, or cut them real short?

I’ve heard many myths about plucking white hairs, and cutting them.. Does anybody know what the best thing to do with stray white hairs are? (besides leaving them?)

I’m almost 18 years old now, and I’ve come to the conclusion that when I get stressed out, many white hairs grow! They’re pretty easy to spot since I have dark colored hair too.

A few months ago, I had no white hairs at all, but then during the summer when I did my Basic Military Qualification training, I was beyond stressed, and I grew white hairs during then.

Now, I’m also growing white hairs from being in my first year at university, and just worrying over every little thing!

I don’t want my white hairs to be visible, so I want to either pluck them, or cut them short… what is the best choice in my dilemma? I once heard that plucking one, causes 3 more white hairs to grow! Or that plucking all the white hairs will make people bald!..

What should I do? (helpful comments appreciated, please don’t tell me to leave them in my hair…)
