My friend made her Minecraft account when she was around 8, she's now 11. I don't
know for sure if the skin she is stuck with was her first ever after default Steve. Still, after uploading her custom skin, she couldn't change it. Does this have to do with how old her account is? The email?

Think of it this way:
The default skin, the Steve skin, is like a sock pulled over the frame of the Player Model. Then any custom skin you apply, is like another sock over the top of that.
If you change the Steve skin, because you still have a custom skin over the top, you'll still just see the custom skin (the sock on the outside).
The only thing that might affect your custom skin, is if you add a "helmet" to the Steve skin. To explain: on some skins, players have added things like a hood or headphones, that sit on another layer. If this is applied to the Steve Skin, that will show up on your custom skin.
However, I don't believe it is actually possible to do that.
It's really easy to return from the Alex (3-block-arms-and-leg) model to the Steve (normal) model.

Did you make sure to hit "Save" under save and upload? That could be why, or maybe the skin file is too large/small. If you need, use Skin Craft becuase it is an easy way to make skins, and will automatically size them for you.
