Why Would my Daughters Earrings Slowly Rip Out?

mailit1975
My daughter got her ears pierced in March, over the past 7 months they have slowly been tearing. What would cause this? She does not wear heavy earrings, studs only, or pull on them. They have not ripped all the way out. How long should we wait to repierce? Or should we not pierce them at all?
