Answers: iv been told so many differnt ways.

Virus, Bacteria or Allergy. Contact lenses are also a contributing factor.
In the movie "Knocked Up" they mention farting in someones eye will give you pink eye, but I'm not so sure of the validity of that statement, as it was a comedic movie.
Poor hygiene, such as not washing hands or coming into contact with someone who does not wash their hands, and then touching your eye will be a sure way to contract pink eye.

caused by bacteria, virus, or contact lense where. by not washing your hands, or coming in contact with some one who has it. it is very easily spread

Never share make-up.

The most common pink eye is a virus. You get it by coming in contact with someone else who has it and then rubbing your eyes. Because it's a virus it will run it's course. However, if you have the viral infection it makes you susceptible to the less common pink eye which is bacterial. That one can cause major eye damage (according to my doctor). So when you have pink eye you should always go to your doctor to make sure it's not the bacterial form. Your doc will probably give you antibiotics as a precaution against the bacterial infection.

There are lot's of ways to get it but one is to share make-up even with your own sister.. Make sure you also wash your hands alot and don't share the same towel if you have pink eye.
