Ever since I was young, when I look at the sky or something very white, I see the bacteria on my eyes moving!

no no no no, they're not floaters or any of your answers.They are little short squigglies moving fast in my eyes. (I could see an estimate of 50+ bacteria) They go in all directions and their color is like... they are not white but like a translucent white, the whiteness of their body changes as they move around my eye.

If they are floaters then why do they move and turn and go everywhere even when I keep my eyes still? Convince me. =P
I want to know if I'm right or wrong.

That is not bacteria my child. It is actually the 'liquids' in your eyes reacting to changes. It would be very obvious if the change was sudden. And you can't argue with me because I know exactly what you are talking about and I have researched about it a long time ago. I hope you are convinced. I do not know what liquids they are. But it is those natural glands in your eyes. I hope you are convinced.

Yes, I see those. Especially on a sunny morning when looking at a light coloured surface.
My optician said that they are caused by minute tearing on the retina. Nothing to worry about unless they suddenly get much worse.
Consult an optician for peace of mind, or, if you currently use specs or contact lenses, go for a check-up at least annually.

You mean you saw dark, almost black, little squiggles? I don't know WHAT they are but I see them too. They COULD be bacteria, since they seem to be shaped the same as a lot of bacteria strains. I never really thought about it until now though, I just fiigured that it was a normal thing to have happen.
It's interesting though!

The same with me. I asked an eye doctor, he said it was "floaters" and nothing to worry about, unless you get so many that it affects your sight

Yes!!! I thought I was crazy! Usually happens to me in the morning when I'm having a shower. If I move my eyes "it" stays just off center and starts to "fall" down my vision. That's the best that I can explain it!

These are just "floaters" cells loose in the aqueous humor.

I is not actually bacteria but you are seeing the fluid that surrounds your eyes.
