A sty forms when bacteria that normally lives on the skin gets up into the tear duct. If the stye progresses to discharge phase (pus), then that may cause conjunctivitis that spreads via contact. In short, you can't "give" someone a stye BUT the discharge material CAN transfer the infection to another person.
For example, a grade school child gets a sty. He rubs his eye, which contaminates his hand. He borrows a classmate's marker. The other child uses it too, and happens to rub her face and eye. Her eye(s) can now become infected.

Do you get stys if your run down?
You can get them if your immune system is sluggish and you are not well. Stys are also a problem if you and your family pass the bacteria from the stys around to each other. You should see your skin doctor or opthalamologist to get it properly treated and do not try to pop the stys. Get your immune system built up and get a good physical.

Because they are caused by bacteria. So when you rub or touch it, you now have the bacteria on your finger. If you don't wash your hands, you can then pass that bacteria along, usually to your other eye, but it can also be passed by touch to another person's eye, mucus membranes, or open wounds.
