It depends. Sometimes I can take small children staring at me. I use a wheelchair to get around and I understand if little kids are curious and stare. I don't stare back at them. Just ignore them and wait for them to focus on something else or ask their parents or whatever. If it's a grown as$ person the one staring at me I will absolutely stare back and if they are whispering or stare for a while I ask them if I know them or if I can help them with something. That's all it takes to put people in their place.

I know you don't want to be rude, and that's a good thing. But in this case, I don't think anyone would blame you - people who stare at her are being abysmally rude themselves. Absolutely stare back. If it were me, if I couldn't stare them down, I'd walk over and be like "I saw you staring uncontrollably at my sister, who is clearly very ill. If there's something you wish to say, feel free to say it. Otherwise, please stop staring. It's rude and you're making both of us uncomfortable." Or, if you're in a place such as a restaurant or something, ask the manager to speak to whoever is staring. That'll stop them.

Yeah, this one guy in my Music and Religious class basically stares at me from across the classroom and I can feel his eyes on me half the time, so sometimes I turn around and stare right back at him till he gives up.

No I just shine em on. Most guys look at me cuz they are sizing me up . and women don't usually stare at me . either sex though I think it's rude when people stare I've had women and men stare at me and trust me know one likes it. People are rude just the way it is....

Well I'd have to be staring in order to know if they are staring. lol so yes,
and I hate that reall awkward moment when you look at their eyes for one minutes and you casually look around and you meet their eyes agian, so they were obviously staring.
it was like that at the New Moon movie line up, and those b*tchy girls sat on the floor and my sister screamed "I hope a steamroller comes by and crushes them!"

It really depends on my mood. If I am in a good mood, I may just like smile and look away. If I am in a bad mood, I may give them a dirty look/glare at them. If I am just like bored and have nothing better to do, I will stare back and like see what their reaction is. (Usually the reaction is to like awkwardly look away lol)

No. I usually awkardly smile and turn away, and glance back again to see if they're still staring, and then if they are, pretend I didn't see. I do that almost every time.

Yeah, then if they keep staring then I keep looking away then staring again to see if they have stopped staring, then it gets really confusing from there.

It depends who they are. Most of the time I stare back until they awkwardly look away or smile. If they smile, I smile back, then look away.
