<p>Haha, I bet I have the most manipulative story.</p>
<p>My Spanish 4 teacher was terrible. You'd think that in a course right before AP, there'd be more things of importance than reviewing every single grammatical structure from Spanish 1. So because of her idiocy, we had easy tests straight from the book and easy lessons (we didn't even start subjunctive till second semester), mostly based off of Spanish history. Of course, for the first semester final, she throws us a 200 point multiple choice final (100 questions in 45 minutes), a 50-point literary tablet (analyze 5-6 pages worth of a story in 45 minutes), and a 10-minute live presentation (1 point off for every 10 seconds you go over) with certain requirements, including MAKE THE CLASS LAUGH, with a minus 10 points if you don't. How that was relevant to Spanish I don't quite know.</p>
<p>At this point I was already borderline with a 90%, due to lackadaisical homework submission. So on the written parts I get D+'s on both (note that before that I'd been averaging A's on all her tests). I could accept that. However, for the presentation, I'd been stuck with a really ... not good group. One person was mediocre at best, and the other person applied an English accent to every word of Spanish. We were the last group to present, and needless to say, our presentation didn't make anyone laugh. So after we finished, I started crying pretty badly because of her varying policy on the class and how her class was completely useless when leading up to her final. So she asked me what was wrong, and I mumbled something about nothing and left.</p>
<p>My final grade was an 86%.
My transcript grade was an A.</p>
<p>She probably magically added 4 percent to my grade. I don't know. When I say final grade, I mean the grade she sent us via email. My transcript doesn't list percents, and just said an A.</p>
<p>Crying? About grades? I'm top rank right now, got a "D" on a six-weeks (not final) grade, and didn't give half a royal, flying ****. Why worry so much?</p>
<p>i cried about the stupidest things in elementary school(like once cuz i didn't do an assignment haha). im a guy too.
now i don't really bother crying in class, cuz it's really not worth it. it really makes me feel bad when i see someone cry though.</p>
<p>I cried almost every day in fourth grade because I was afraid of the lunch room. It was my first year of public school--I'd been homeschooled--and I was afraid of somehow making a mistake in front of all those people... or something. :p</p>
<p>And last spring I cried--seriously cried--during lunch (in the drama/world religions teacher's classroom, but it was lunch period--my friends and I have lunch in his room) after registering for my classes. Stress, you know. Well, it was a combination of 1. having just signed up for my toughest year's courseload ever by far and 2. having just taken a physics test that I was sure I'd screwed up on... I think I got an A after all, though. I always underestimate things like that. :rolleyes: :p But yeah... I felt better afterward. My friends are supportive, and I have one who gives great hugs. :)</p>
<p>There's nothing wrong with crying. Some of the strongest people cry. They have a bad day. They need to blow off some steam. They cry. They're not lesser people because they had to shed some tears in public. </p>
<p>Crying isn't a sign of weakness or a baby thing to do. It's a sign of control and perseverance, that when events in your life are seemingly beyond your control you can let go. </p>
<p>So, have a good school year, and don't be afraid to let go than having your frustration pent up inside you.</p>
<p>i used to fake cry in 2nd grade about how my food got spoiled or something so i could get other pplz foods. Also, once in 7th grade my really mean french teacher made a girl cry so bad, she dried out her tear ducts</p>
<p>I cried in class...because my grade in honors chem was falling faster than airline stocks and wanted the whole ordeal to end. They finally let me drop.</p>
<p>not crying...but i slammed my fist on the table when i found out the office had lost my parking application for the next year. so ****ed. damn them. i left the desk lady wide eyed, haha.</p>
<p>This girl would always cry in elementary school, and now shes in a performing arts votech school. Seriously, grades will pass get over it. Cry about relationships not scores.</p>
<p>i havent cried yet in high school but i just get in really bad moods. when im mad i tend to call people out on stuff that bugs me. you might say it makes me more honest. so does alcohol though lol.</p>
<p>Aw. That sounds like a horrible teacher. =( Try not to stress out too much!</p>
<p>I think I've cried in class a couple of times, but nothing that was too obvious. I remember crying once in HS after I had broken up with my first boyfriend boyfriend and I had a class right after I broke up with him and I was feeling like utter shyt because he took it really hard and wasn't expecting it, plus it was physics and I had a quiz that was extremely tough that I had studied for but still couldn't do. Bad day. So I started crying quitely. I can remember a lot of times where I just locked myself up in the bathroom when I had to go to class and cried a lot, lol. I tend to do that a lot, even in college and at work. haha. I'm a sissy with a lot of mood swings, what to do? </p>
<p>Ahh, also a few times in college when I was having super bad days and was crying in class (but I really doubt anyone could tell).</p>
<p>Aw...sorry to hear about your teacher! It's okay; at my over-achieving, super-Asian highschool, I constantly see chicks sobbing in the hallways over some test or some teacher or some grade (boys less, but I've seen a few!). </p>
<p>Happens to everyone.</p>
<p>The only time I cried during highschool was when I got cut from the basketball team in 10th grade. They had 1-on-1 conferences with each person that tried out. You against 5 coaches (Why so many? I don't know).</p>
<p>Anyway, basically the "panel" first told me I was too short. Then one person piped up about 'they weren't too impressed with my shooting'. And another added that shooting wasn't everything, but my ball handling wasn't that great either. And my defense was bad, too. Somebody suggested I could be "team manager", and that was pretty much the last straw and I just started crying. I mean, not all out hiccuping and stuff. But yeah.</p>
<p>I don't like crying in front of people at all. I know there's nothing wrong with it, but I just don't want to show people I'm "weak" or whatever. </p>
<p>I think the last time I did cry was when I finished this huge 4+ hour physics test that I was sure I had bombed. The teacher was really nice about it; she ordered pizzas for dinner and stuff while we were doing it, but I just felt like I had studied all of the wrong stuff. I held in the tears until I got to my car, shut the door, cried a couple minutes, then realized crying wasn't going to help anything, and drove home. Happy ending though, I almost cried tears of joy when I realized I didn't flunk it :)</p>
<p>I cried in 8th grade, but never in high school. In 8th grade though, my very small class of 3 other girls hated me. They talked behind my back, said nasty things to my face, tormented me in every way. It was a Lutheran school too! I told my teacher and she basically said that I needed to get used to it. I got worse, so I told her again. Then apparently she decided to have a "private" talk with the class while I was reading with a first grader. I came back and they continued to say very nasty things about me just like I wasn't even there and the teacher agreed with everything they said. Finally they asked for my input which basically consisted of forcing me to apoligize for all the annoying things I did. I just couldn't stand it anymore! Fortunately I graduated about 2 months after that and went to high school where things have been much better!</p>
<p>in 8th grade, i was totally excited about getting adv. physical science, until i walked in the door. the very 1st day of school we had an unreasonable amount of hw (it was a half day of school). he gave us lectures every other day about how our class, from 28 to 8 people, would never amount to anything. he was yelling at us, the people who had stuck it out! he usually gave us test unrelated to what he taught us, so i basically self-studied. right after the 4th quarter started, he went on and on about how we were stupid. thats when i nearly lost it.
i just stared at the table, tears welling in my eyes. it was horrible. when the bell rang i ran to the bathroom, and washed my face, but it was still puffy and red. people asked me if i was ok or not. when i got home i nearly had a nervous breakdown, but when i told my mom she somehow got it into her head that it was our class's fault. To this day i block out any memory of that class.</p>
<p>haha I actually nearly cried in class just yesterday, over a most ridiculous thing, too. </p>
<p>We had some petty 5 point assignment due and I had actually done it, but needed to print it out at school. I asked my teacher, he said no, and the next thing I knew we were almost in an argument, how or why I have no idea. For some reason it was extremely upsetting to me and I had to hold back tears as he asked, "Is that clear?" all I could manage was a thumbs-up. </p>
<h2>When I got home, I had an email from him apologizing (I had been planning on sending one as well) for the argument and as I read it, I began to cry again, hard this time! Why on Earth did it upset me so?? ah oh well, I'm over it. </h2>
<p>But yea, I'm sort of emotional with certain things and have cried (not sobbed, mind you) while talking about books in class, simply when others have, and for other reasons as well.
-good times</p>
