[nabs-l] staring

[frandi.galindo at gmail.com]

I get stared at as well.  It don't matter if I am on my own, or if I am with 
friends or family.  If you are alone, well, there is nothing you can really 
do, but if you are with others, and they let you know some one is staring, 
just ask where they are at, and look their way and shout something to make 
them feel like a fool.  You shouldn't be afraid to go out, even if some 
asshole tells you to walk in the middle of the street.  Don't let that get 
to you, otherwise you'll end up staying at home.

Hello,
I get stared at all the time when Igo to places like Wal-Mart.  One time
while Iwas walking up the street to the gas station, it is exactly one
mile from my front door, I actually had a person tell me I should walk
in the middle of the street.  It is things like this that make me afraid
to even walk alone anymore.
