PLEEEZZZ ANSWERRR BAKKK XX??

ok I dont know if this could possible be a real situation. I mean a girl to have nits for 5 years?? and not want to do anything about it herself. controling nits is not rocket science. If you are somehow having that much trouble eliminating them all you have to do is cut your hair short.

Dear tasha2k6,
You have to buy special shampoo from the pharmacy. All bedding needs to be washed and put in a hot dryer. Any stuffed toys should be bagged for several weeks. All furniture needs cleaning in the home. Towels never to be shared. She must be itchy all the time? There is a lot of information on the internet...do not cut her hair it can be treated successfully if they follow the rules.
Sue...good luck

Yeah, its possible to be a real situation... its very gross though. I woudl have to ask, why aren't her parents doing anything about the Nits?

Your friend needs to be evaluated by a health care provider to be absolutely sure that body or hair lice is the problem. If it is indeed, your friend should not need to cut her hair. Everyone in the household must be treated for this problem to go away. The fabrics must be washed in very hot water to kill the lice and their eggs. The hair must be washed with the special shampoo as directed on the box. No sharing caps, combs, brushes, hair pieces, barettes, et cetera.

WELL THIS IS A REALLY SITUATION ..
FANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR ADVICE BUT THE THING IS WHAT EVER WE SAY TO HER OR TRY AND DO SHE JUST STARTS CRYING & DUS NUFFING ABWT IT! WE EVEN BOUGHT HER A NIT COMB & LOTION :S
I DONT THINK HER PARENTS BOTHER WITH HER :S
PLEEEZZ COMMENT BAKKK X FANKUUU X

Take her to your local health clinic...tell them the situation. At least they can talk with her and sometime...they will even send over a nurse to help in the home to get rid of them. It's worth try.
