 The pictures on the left are all of people crying. We know what crying is but why do we do it?


Well, crying is an outward sign that you feel strongly about something- usually not getting something you want, or getting something you don't want. Everyone cries. Even boys and adults! Sometimes tears just have to roll. Tears serve a purpose. When you cry because of your emotions ( not because your chopping onions) your tears release certain chemicals in your body. Scientists think these chemicals might actually make you feel better. Its O.K. to cry. Crying is a normal reaction to strong feelings. But it's not good if you cry too often because it could become a problem. They get their feelings hurt too easily and think that others don't like them. Crying shouldn't replace talking about your feelings or taking actions that might help a situation. Tears just aren't the same as words. If you want people to understand what you're feeling, or to know how to help, take a few deep breaths. And start talking. 
When I'm sad, I cry. Crying is a way to express your feelings. You feel better after it's all over. I also talk out loud to myself so the sadness doesn't stay as a lump in my stomach. - Katherine Michigan
