Do you have a lot of these white hairs? They probably aren't really 'gray' hair especially if you are sixteen. Is this new or have you had it for a while?
I have heard of a special type of 'birth mark' that removes the pigment from hair and it is just some hair, perhaps it is something like that.

I think that’s normal. It’s just a soft layer of hair, I would expect most people to have it, so I wouldn’t worry. Is it only on your arms or all over your body?

I wouldn’t worry about it. Most people get fine hair especially on arms, it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Shave it/wax it if you’d prefer to, although if it isn’t noticeable I don’t see the point in doing much
