I noticed in most of my pictures, I always have extremely red eyes. My friends and family do, too, but I have them the worst. Why is that? I have a program that fixes it but it sometimes it can't always be fixed 100%

Because the back of your eyes ARE red. You have blood vessels in your retina.
It is the flash that shines through your pupils, and reflects off of the retina and back to the camera.
There are several was to deal with this, but the most common way is to set the camera flash to anti-red eye mode.
This sets off a pre-flash that causes your pupils to shrink so that less light from the main flash reflects off the back of your eye.

It is a reflection.
Ways to reduce it:
1. Look into a light before getting your pic taken
2. Red eye reduction flash.
3. Use a flash that you can "bounce" (or turn so that it doesn't flash directly on the person or object but is reflected onto them)
Some people get it worse than others.

redeye happens due to the reflection of the flash. Best way to fix redeye is with the redeye tool in photoshop cs2 or cs3.
