Not normal: It is not normal to have varicose veins at any age. You need to see a doctor to assess your particular circumstance and decide on treatment. Other than using compression stocking it is not a do it yourself issue. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine

Varicose veins.: It is not normal to have varicose veins at age 17. Vv's at an early age are usually doe to hereditary factors or injuries to the vein valves from trauma. There are many safe and minimally invasive ways to treat VV's. See a vein specialist for an evaluation.
