If it is seizure activity (implied by the question) then it sounds like what is called petit mal, if that term is still in use. This is in contrast to grand mal seizures, where there is a complete loss of motor control.
Surgery would only be considered for people with very severe epilepsy. It may cure it, but doing any brain surgery has risks. Each case should be discussed with a medical authority on the issues, as everyone is different.
Epilepsy comes in a wide range of types , causes and severity. Some people can live very normal lives and could participate in any activities. Most people with epilepsy are physically fit and capable of doing any normal sports. Others would have more of a problem in doing some things. There are some things people could do, but again depending on their type and severity of epilepsy, they may need some supervision. Swimming could be an example in some cases. It is only when someone is having a seizure that there is any problem in them taking part in activities. For the vast majority of the time, a person with epilepsy is no different than anyone else. If there is a risky activity or potentially life threatening then much more care would be needed. Someone with a history of epilepsy would not be allowed to fly an aircraft for example. Some forms of climbing could be risky too, but it wouldn't necessarily stop everyone with epilepsy doing it.
There are different rules in different parts of the world. Generally, if someone has not had a seizure for a period of time, they will be allowed to drive. The amount of time specified will be different in different parts of the world. It could be anything from about 6 months to 2 years. It must be said that driving if you have epilepsy is a risk to the driver, any passengers and other road users, so someone with a history of epilepsy needs to be very careful and take good medical advice before deciding to drive.
It is not advisable to take any sort of street drugs when you have epilepsy, or even if you don't. People have been known to develop epilepsy after things like overdoses doing damage to their brain. Other than drugs prescribed for their epilepsy, people with it should avoid any kind of other such substances.

When a boy likes you he talks to you and treats you with respect. When he stares at you he is probably thinking things that are not very respectful.
Keep doing what you are doing, it's obviously drawing his attention. When HE is ready HE will do something.
You should avoid him and if he keeps doing this tell your mom or the person who looks after you at home that this is happening.
Different people who have Epilepsy have different triggers for their seizures. This is definitely an issue that you need to take up with your neurologist. It would not be ethical to attempt to answer it under these conditions.
People with epilepsy can have almost any kind of job. Epilepsy only affects a person when they are having a seizure. At any other time there are no problems, so they can do almost anything. The only consideration is how would their job be affected if they have a seizure while doing it. Any danger they could be in or could be caused to others needs to be considered. So people with epilepsy would not be allowed to be a pilot for example. While they can be allowed to drive, they would not be given jobs driving people, like a bus driver. So they can do most jobs, particularly if their seizures are rare and mild.People with epilepsy can have almost any kind of job. Epilepsy only affects a person when they are having a seizure.

Epilepsy is a wide-ranging condition, and people have all sorts of levels of it. So some people with epilepsy would be perfectly capable of working on an oil-rig, while some others would not. Each case is different, so it would depend on things like what kind of work they are doing and how serious their epilepsy is.
There are many causes for epilepsy so in theory anyone can get it. A brain injury sustained in an accident could be one reason. So it is hard to prevent someone having accidents. In terms of someone who has epilepsy preventing their seizures, then taking medication and avoiding things that can trigger their particular seizures will help prevent them having their seizures. Even doing these things doesn't 100% guarantee that a person won't have a seizure as sometimes it is difficult to avoid things that may cause their seizures, like stress. There are so many causes and triggers for epilepsy and each person is different, so what works for one person may not work for another person or may even be totally irrelevant to another person as their seizures are caused by something else. For example it is commonly believed that flashing lights cause seizures. That is only for about 3% to 5% of people who have epilepsy. So for most people with epilepsy it is not necessary to keep away from flashing lights, as it has no affect on them.
