Cry can release sadness and protect ourselves.When we frow up,we get used to repression,no longer cry loudly.Why show our weakness in front of people.Maybe our cries are considered petulance.It is no use crying.We have to slove the problems by ourselves after wiping tears.

Crying is necessary sometimes, there's nothing to feel ashamed of. In some cases it clears your mind and spirit, by crying you also relieve yourself. If you never cried, ever, I think you might blow up lol

Crying is a great outlet for all your worries..Irrespective of the age, it seems to be a best way to free your mind and heart..So it is better to cry out your worries rather than suppressing them into your own.It is also not a good idea to control your emotions..So when you feel you want to cry, it is better to cry out...It is not essential to cry in front of others..or when you are criticised by someone..At those times, it is better you do not cry...as it just brings you down among others.

I think I will definitely continue to cry every once in a while as I continue to grow up. It's pretty difficult for me to not go through a whole entire year without crying because something always happens that is extremely saddening and I get tearful. I mean, I'm not crying as much as I use to when I was younger because I've learned to be stronger, but I still cry sometimes. There really is no use in crying but it helps to express how we feel and it helps to let our feelings out so we don't have to keep bottling it up. I agree that after we cry and wipe away the tears, we should get right back up and start walking and not dwell so much on the lost tears on the ground. We just have to learn to be stronger emotionally.

Crying in some situations is not a weakness. As long as the situation is apprpriate. Crying shows that you actually care and have a heart. When I grow up I will definitely cry. All those memories and thoughts in my head. Thats why it is important to live life to the fullest with no regrets. NO regrets. And yes, when we grow up we need to solve problems ourselves and we DO need to wipe our tears infront of others to show your leadership.BUT it is still OK to cry in general.

Yes, I will definitely continue to cry. There are times when we feels emotions so strongly that we need to cry, but just because a person cries and shows their emotions to other people does not mean they are weak. I personally need to cry every once in a while when I am extremly stressed out. Yes, the crying does not solve the problem, but it makes me feel a little better, which allows me to think clearly enough to solve the problem.

Cryig is not just for young ones, its for all ages. crying like you say is a way to release the sadness one person feels. most people don't really plan to cry infront of other people, it is just they lose control of that emotion at that very moment. from my expirence i hate other people seeing me cry, but there are time when i reach to a point when i can't stop the tears from falling down my eyes due to the emotions that has overcome me. and it scares me that people may think i am weak but actually i slowly learn that crying don't really show your weak but it shows that your also human.

Hi! I am already a grown man, and I still cry some times. But that doesn't mean that I am a child or I'm not a real man. Crying shows us, that we are still humans, that we still have feelings, and we understand and suffer for the others. It makes us feel that we are alive!!!

Ya crying cannot solve the problem, it will only increase the intensity of problem, by creating feeble mind. The more you cry, the less you will try to solve the problem. So it is better to stop crying and thinking of something to overcome the problem. After all, we dint wage any world war, and failed in life. We have just desired to have something in life, but failed to achieve it. If we plan correctly, we can get the same in future. So I dont think it is good to cry.
