Y'all I have another crier.

NOLABridesmaid

It's a new student that hates our school. He cried for four hours yesterday, and nothing I did helped.

If he cries today, i'm going to start crying with him.

If you start to cry it might just stop him in his tracks.  Good luck!

Four hours?!  Didn't he need to take a break to rehydrate?  

If I had your job, I'd keep a flask in my desk.   

I hope there's no more crying.

Can you threaten to give him something to cry about?

Sad kids make me sad...until the point where they piss me off and then I"m a heartless itch

**O-Face**

Poor kids eyes were probably swollen shut. 

NOLABridesmaid

Y'all, at one point he took a nap on the floor. No lie. It's like when you babies have a big cry and it puts them to sleep.

He has some other issues going on, but we can't do the crying everyday. No, sir. I called his mom but she couldn't leave work.

Aww.  Poor kid.  That's rough on everyone, including you.

*Barbie*

he's what?  11? 12? 13? he needs to man up. 

seriously though, it sounds like he needs to get help for psychological issues. that's not normal. 

TheMrsC23

The kiddo is on the sensitive side, so I can see an overwhelming situation like this driving him to tears.  But not 4 hours and not with him being immune to logic or reason or pats on the back and an 'it will get better, I promise'.

<div>Barbie - it might not be normal for a 12 year old upper middle class girl with 2 parents, but you don't know what's going on in this kids life.  Maybe he's been "manning up" and finally just needed to cry.  Sometimes crying is the only thing that's left to do, and once you've done it, you go back to "manning up."  </div><div>Nola - I'm so glad he had a safe, loving place to go to break down and have a rest.  I'm sure it helped more than you'll ever know.</div>

Oh man, something is definitely not right.  Hopefully he gets all of the help he needs.

I don't think I have ever cried for 4 hours straight before.

Agreed.  I'm only guessing being new sucks and maybe he's new for a not very good reason.  Hopefully he got it out yesterday and things will be better for all of you.

NOLABridesmaid

So far I haven't seen him today. I did a spot check and he is in class.

*fingers crossed*

*Barbie*

sorry, "man up" was sarcastic, FFS. 

i think crying would be normal for a pre-pubescent boy who is having a rough time. crying for 4 hours straight isn't normal. it sounds like he needs additional (medical/professional) help. 

NOLABridesmaid

He is dealing with other issues I can't discuss that contributes to his coping skills, shall we say.
