When I grow my avocado seeds I can only get leaves near the top as it grows bigger only the top leaves make it. Any recommendations for this issue?

OP you have already made it so much further than me. I don't even get mine to grow leaves so I honestly didn't think I was every going to get them to grow anything and gave up. Plants don't tend to thrive in my household sadly but I am trying to get better about not letting them die!

Avocados are so hard for me I get them to have leaves but then they dry up and die :( I am thinking if I get them to keep their leaves maybe I will be able to keep them alive longer?

I'm assuming you've got them in a pot with potting mix etc.

Photos would be helpful but my hunch is that it needs some nitrogen. Plants will sacrifice old (lower) leaves to reuse nutrients for new ones. Try some fertilizer at the label rate and see how it responds.

I mention this because sometimes people aren't aware, but be forewarned that any avocados you get from this tree are unlikely to be particularly appealing to eat. Avocados are not grown from seed commercially, they are cloned from a single plant selected to be the best from a huge number of seeds (or deliberately created hybrids). A seed will have different genetics from the parent and the odds of winding up with an improvement from one roll of the dice are not good.
