What Causes My Eyelashes To Not Grow Back?

I've been having issues with my eyelashes. When I was in middle school I started gently pulling on my eyelashes mainly out of boredom. I did that for awhile off and on not knowing that I would have issues. In high school I noticed my eyelashes weren't coming in, and if they did they didn't look right. Now I'm 20 and I've been wearing only eyeshadow and eyeliner. I hardly ever touch my eyelashes except to wash my face and put on makeup. I've even considered buying something that would make them grow back, but I'm not sure what would be safe and realistic. I've never considered talking to a doctor or even my parents before because I figured my eyelashes would just grow back, but now they look worse than ever. What could be wrong?

It will not grow since they have been epilated from route. No medicine is available to make them grow. Only possibility of re plantation by plastic surgeon.
