<p>Not sure about the insensitive part, but I know what you mean about not being able to cry when someone dies... That's happened to me one or two times, everyone around you is bawling their eyes out, and you're kind of just standing there like... uh? I mean, I felt bad and all, but tears wouldn't come. That also happened when one of my best friends moved away - a bunch of us were at her house right before she was going to leave, and everyone burst into tears, and I was kinda just standing there awkwardly...</p>
<p>I had a panic attack in my counselor's office earlier this year because I wasn't allowed to drop a class that sent my social anxiety into overdrive everyday. It was the first time I'd ever cried at school since like, 4th grade (I'm a senior this year, btw.)</p>
<p>one of the only times i felt like crying were at the beginning of this year (junior year) where my program put me in Leadership class (instead of AP comp sci) which i hated so much. basically what you do is the teacher's work (he is head of Student Activities committee), like u have to organize school dances, decorate bulletin boards, etc and do even more stuff on your own free time! plus it was full of all these lazy kids who didnt want to be in a "real" aka academic class. also he said that since it was an easy class he wouldnt give over a 93 or something on our report cards because it wouldnt be fair... so i was really depressed lol. i had to go to that class for one whole week and then finally i was switched out (i almost cried again, for joy lol)</p>
<p>i also was kind of sad that i didnt get my latin teacher from last year cause i really really liked her (not like crying-sad or anything, just a little disappointed). but it turned out okay because my new latin teacher's alright plus i still talk to/annoy my old latin teacher a lot lol</p>
<p>the first time i cried in school this yr was after i had passed out for a few minutes and i came to and realized what had happened etc. only a few tears though.
second time i've cried in school this year was yesterday... ughh. i dont even really know why, it was so stupid. i had other things on my mind besides this, so i was pretty stressed.. anyway, i was absent the day before a history test when the teacher told us what the essays were going to be on, so i asked someone what they were and they said "the essays on the sheet" so obviously i thought the essays were on the sheet i already had.. apperently not... so when i got the test and it had completely different essays than what i had studied for. the essays were 65 pts (/100) and this is 50% of our grade for this midterm so i tried to explain what had happened to the teacher but i just started crying pretty hard, actually. so embarrassing. so he just said to do the multiple choice and i could do the essay on monday, which was really nice of him.. but then he proceded to stare at me for the rest of the period which didnt help matters at all. i felt so stupid after, oh well.</p>
<p>at least i go to an all-girls school where crying (especially over grades, etc) is the norm. haha... that's probably not good, everyone is so stressed about grades and colleges at my school it gets pretty bad sometimes</p>
<p>I can't remember crying since well... I moved to US over 5 years ago.</p>
<p>I cried in 7th grade Science class, pretty embarassing considering I'm a guy :P</p>

I haven't cried in the longest tile lol, maybe it's because I'm a guy...I couldn't even bring myself to tears when my grandmother died yesterday and my whole family was mourning over the loss!!! Does anyone know know if its totally normal for teenage guys to be insensitive???

<p>I'm the same - I can't cry when a relative/pet/someone in the movie died, so it's kind of awkward sitting there while my parents are sobbing.</p>
<p>My english teacher died a day before the final exam (heart-attacked). In the exam day, everyone was crying, but i didnt. I was happy that i didnt have to take a final exam. yes, im messed up.</p>
<p>in 9th grade i cried while dissecting a fetal pig. i HATED it.</p>
<p>i cried after i found out my final grade in ap bio.. and i cried before a calc test all throughout my ap comp class.. and i cried during apgov ............. basically .. i'm ridiculously sensitive. -_-</p>
<p>I cry about little things, but I can't cry when I hear about deaths and tragedies..</p>
<p>i started to cry in seventh grade once because my teacher was making us write poetry. i can't write poetry and i got extremely frustrated. and then she told me i was emotionally withdrawn and needed to come out of my shell. that was so weird it made me stop crying...</p>
<p>I'm also one of those people who never cries... funeral or otherwise. I see it as a good thing... the ability to keep composure regardless of the situation. I mean, I feel sad at things like funerals but I can't cry.</p>
<p>People should never cry unless it is a serious thing. Crying makes you emotionally weak. No one wants to be weak! Not crying is good--you endure pain inside. Pain is good becuase it is weakness leaving the body.</p>
<p>ummm....</p>
<p>well ok, thats a big statement....</p>
<p>That's one way to look at it. Everyone's got their own way of dealing, I guess. But crying can make you feel better, too. I mean, yeah excessive crying at every little thing is a bit... much, but there's nothing wrong with expressing emotion. Sometimes you just need to cry for the sake of crying, and then afterwards you feel much better.</p>
<p>yeah. a few times. once was after i just got stressed to max, and basically just like couldn't hold back the tears, and then when my grandma died, my dad called my cell phone, and i knew when i saw that it was from him, that she'd died, so i just kinda broke out in the middle of class.</p>
<p>I cried in the chemistry lab a few times. No one liked to use the fume hood, and half the time we didnt know that we had to. Our teacher told us, but it took him some time to realize what we were doing. Ive failed tests and quizzes but have never cried over them. I failed my last freshman math test with a 64 and I was fine with it.</p>
<p>I cried after I completely bombed a Physics test. I left the majority of it blank-had absolutely no clue how to do any of it. Thankfully my boyfriend was there later to comfort me. It was so awful.</p>
<p>It all turned out good, I went to see the teacher and he gave a retake. :)</p>
<p>I cried a few times in school:</p>
<p>1) On 9/11- My sister lives in New York City and I couldn't get ahold of her. (Freshman year)
2) When I got a 32 on a math test (turned out the class average was a 36) (Freshman year)
3) When I got my Dartmouth rejection online (Senior Year)</p>
