two of them are kind of the same. but plz. i am 12 yrs old. and i am failing school.

DON'T say "see a doctor about it" cuz i hate the doctors office and i really can't.

I want eyelashes! My parents won't let me buy fake eyelashes. not at ALL!!!!!!!! i really want them but they're like "let them grow back and then you won't need fake ones" and it's sooooo annoying.




WHAT'S SUBSTITUTE TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE I HAVE EYELASHES! i can't use eyeliner / eye pencil. it's so hard to apply w/ no eyelashes!

Hm. I've never heard of this sort of case before! But there is a sort of product called EyelashEnhancer. It makes nonexistent eyelashes grow back stronger and thicker. I'm 12 too! And I also had a picture of my eye on the Yahoo Answers page too. Okay, back to the product. It can be found on:

I haven't done anything to my eyelashes. I kind of forget that they're there sometimes...

Maybe you should sit down with your parents and tell them why you think that you should be able to have fake eyelashes. I could be that you're pulling your eyelashes out because you're rebelling. In a way. I guess. Anyway, your parents probably don't want you to have fake eyelashes because you have real ones! You just don't feel like... using them. You can try focusing your mind on other things. After a while, your eyelashes will be back to normal! And when they are, the best thing to put on them is olive oil at night and then wash it off in the morning. I've never tried it before, but I've heard that it works. It strengthens them a lot. Here is a picture of my eye now:

I'll post another after picture. Maybe it'll work for you! I'll be your tester! My mom doesn't let me wear any makeup, and it's probably better for both me and you. Makeup can cause eyelashes to fall out as well.

Good luck with your quest! I hope your eyelashes grow back thick and black with the above product (and stay that way with the olive oil)!

In the wild, a male Llama will find a high vantage point to watch over his herd of females and if he spots danger, will start alarm calling. Moments later every male in the vicinity will be alarm calling.

seriously just stop plucking them out!!!

idk im srry just let them grow, and try to stop your bad habit

actually theres no reason to hate doctors.. if you dont like the family one then say so and find one you like.. because its pretty serious

It sounds like you are attention starved.

Go find a hobby like volunteering or an after school activity.

eww dude, just stop man thats gross

Sounds like you have Trichotillomania. See a doctor.

Um, this is a really weird issue. And I agree with your parents. If you weren't plucking the things out, you'd be like everyone else and you'd have them. I wouldn't buy you fake ones either. And if I were your parent, I'd honestly be thinking about taking you to talk to a counselor...not a doctor...but someone that can help you deal with the anxiety or whatever it is that is leading to this habit of ripping out lashes. You're going to have some fall out naturally from time to time, but to have pulled them all out intentionally. That would really worry me about you. I hope you stop doing it. And I hope you find a better way to get through stress and handle issues.

This is one of those personal responsibility things a child needs to learn. It also goes to cause and effect. You pull out your eyelashes, you don't have them. You want them, but you pull them out, so you don't have them. You don't have them, even though it is something you are doing yourself, so you ask us what to do to make it look like you have eyelashes, even though clearly you can fix this yourself. You just don't want to. Hence, llamas...

It seems like you have a psychological disorder called trichotillomania. You won't have to go to the doctor, but you should go see a therapist, psychologist (not a medical doctor) or a counselor at your school.
