<p>My father died last year on Thanksgiving Break. I still went to school when the teachers expected me to stay home. I broke down in my Physics class once.</p>
<p>I was going through such a hard time and teachers were making me angry. My old computer science teacher kept bugging me about a letter she wanted me to write to some department as a favor, and I blew up at her. I never did write the letter for her.</p>
<p>I've cried in class. Most of it has been this semester and well, it's just been very stressful. Hmm, for my high-school career, I believe 2-4 times during class NOTICEABLY and perhaps 5 times in front of teachers alone. </p>
<p>A simple "hey are you okay?" usually starts the waterworks in the described times.</p>
<p>I just remembered this thread . . well yeah it happened today to me, "out of character" is the right phrase. It wasn't even about school or anything, this morning was the BEST day in pre-calculus . . and i leave to get lunch and go home and my MOTHER . . my god my mother needs to just calm down, starts yelling at me and being such a ***** while she took me back to school, right before the exam too.

Me too, I was really angry at her and had no say in anything, she was just being so mean & dictator like . . so yeah thats what happened and I ended up slamming the door tearing up as I got out and go inside and the NURSE sees me and is like "are you okay" .. that just made it worse . . and then my english teacher "sarah are you okay???" and god like 4 people after that kept asking me . . </p>

and I know, it makes it soo much worse . . </p>
<p>now my nose and eyes are all red and I have a splitting headache. I hope she's happy. can't ever have a good day without going home and having it all ruined by THEM. a random girl I dont even know gave me a hug in the bathroom. I guess I look that pathetic when I start crying. ugh.</p>
<p>You know, if a friend of mine is crying or something, I don't ask them what's wrong/are you okay on purpose. Sometimes silence is golden. You just wait it out, obviously something is wrong if they're crying and obviously they are NOT OKAY . . . and I've realized people appreciate it more if you just stay silent, not asking/talking a lot during the sad times.</p>
<p>I've also realized that I come here & post when I'm distressed . .heh</p>
<p>This forum is a venting room, sarorah...that was its other function.</p>
<p>I cried in elementary school one time. It was one of my first days, and I threw a fit because I wanted my mom and I wanted to go home. I was so embarrassed afterwards because I did it in front of the entire class, but nobody gave me a hard time about it.</p>
<p>The only times I cried were out of fear during the first five years (relatively often at times), and then anger afterwards (once/year).</p>
<p>I never cried in high school in class...but this year I did walk out of my English class due to stress, there was a bunch of shouting and arguing and I couldn't take it.</p>
<p>I cried twice this year (involuntary).
1) Eating raw garlic in AP World (only kid in the class to chew it up whole and swallow it). Holy crap that stuff burns (more than jalapeno or any other pepper besides habanero).
2) Eating a habanero in AP World (spice project) (very few tears compared to garlic).</p>
<p>I have wanted to cry in high school sometimes, but I've stopped myself from doing it.</p>
<p>Hah it's definently more common for girls. Guys are just expected to be the "tuff guy" at all times . . . to offer the shoulder for the girl to cry on . .</p>
<p>i cry so much when im stressed out ..but it makes you feel better...i get headaches when i hold back..so i just need to let myself have a good cry</p>
<p>i've cried because i was laughing so hard.</p>
<p>Totally cried today in chem because I was having computer issues with PageMaker/PDF and didn't get the school newspaper sent to the printer and I felt like a failure because it was the first issue I was editor-in-chief for. I didn't like..bawl or anything, it was more like..quiet tears of frustration haha. Plus, I'm a girl and everyone in chemistry understood, so it was fine. :)</p>
<p>I had a nervous breakdown afterschool in psych this yea -- had to practically run out of the room to hide my tears from the teacher (as if she hadn't realized what was going on, anways).</p>
<p>Everyone here is a baby.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
I hope you are made fun of for the rest of your time in high school.</p>
<p>if he was serious, that teacher sounds ike a jerk and you should report him to someone. that is abuse and you do not have to put up with it.</p>
<p>I've had tears well up a lot, especially if I happen to be the only person with a bad grade on a test, but I only full-out cried once and only the teacher knew. My problem is I cry when I laugh REALLY easily. I'm talking 10 seconds of laughter and tears run down my cheeks. It's kind of amusing, actually.</p>
<p>I've cried a couple of times in high school. The first time was toward the beginning of freshman year over a completely insignificant essay--some proficiency essay we were supposed to do so that the school could evaluate our "progress". I was just feeling emotional that day, and I finished my essay, but it wasn't long enough for me to pass, so I burst into tears. No one in my class noticed, though. Afterwards, my friends noticed that I had puffy eyes and asked what was wrong, which made me burst into tears again--that phrase always makes me start crying, and usually right after I've gotten my emotions under control and started to feel better--only this time, I was in the middle of the hall so everyone noticed. The second time, I had a migraine that I had gotten right before 4th period, which was P.E., and I had managed to survive until I got to the counseling office/nurse's office. I had a really bad migraine at that point, but the nurse wasn't there, so the woman who was there called my parents to get me a ride home. After she called, she started asking me whether it was "kids' stuff", and I was about to retort that a migraine would make anyone, adult or child, want to go home, when she finished, asking if it was a problem with a teacher. When I realized that she thought that I was upset about something at school, I couldn't help it. I burst into tears, and I couldn't speak to tell her that I had a migraine. Eventually, I managed to communicate that point, and after that, when I was sick and needed to go home, she always called my parents without asking me any questions. I don't really cry that often anymore, but when I do, it's usually because someone has made me angry. And then the fact that I'm crying makes me angry with myself, which makes me cry even more.
I also laugh a lot, and if I don't start having an asthma attack from laughing, sometimes the laughter will bring tears to my eyes.</p>
<p>I agree - when anyone asks "are you okay?" or something similar, it really turns on the waterworks. I've cried after school, during sports, in the bathroom, whatever, but only that one time in class in high school. In 8th grade once the entire class started crying but that was an isolated share-your-worst-experience kind of incident. I cry a lot otherwise and tell myself it's therapeutic. I think it actually is, too.</p>
