Is it normal to have dark circles at this age?

Question

Im only 13 but have undereye circles mostly towards the inside corner of my eye. Is this normal?

Answer 1

It's normal, but I think it's just genetic. My mother realized she had circles under her eyes when she was in high school. there's nothing wrong with your health, but I think they're permanent. But don't worry, they shouldn't get extremely dark :]

Answer 2

just sleep some more i had dark circles at 4-6th grade because during soccer we had late practices so just sleep

Answer 3

It could be a sign of a deficiency of something. If I recall correctly, my younger sister had dark circles under her eyes at a young age and she was iron deficient (anemia). I'd ask your mom to take you to your family doctor and have him do a blood panel on you just to make sure you're okay.

Answer 4

Well I suspect you haven't been getting enough sleep.  What time do you go to bed?

Answer 5

can be genetic

Answer 6

its normal..as long as its not huge bags...and puffiness ...its probably just in your genes...i have it slightly...but ive seen people with way worse.

Answer 7

Does your mom or dad or grandma or grandpa have them? I've always had dark eye sockets.

Answer 8

As some of the others said you're possibly not getting enough sleep.  Try getting to bed a little bit earlier.  Also, some children just naturally have dark circles due to allergies, they're referred to as "allergic shiners".  The only thing you can do about those is try to stay away from things that you may be allergic to.  Lastly, dehydration can cause dark circles so make sure you're getting plenty of water every day.  Sleep + Less allergen exposure + lots of water = dark circle reduction!  :)

Answer 9

yes...its prob from stress and lack of sleep

Answer 10

SLEEP or it mite be in ur genes
