How do you keep emotions inside?

okay I am a very emotional girl.. im 16 years old and I tend to cry or get teary eyed to the slitest disaprovement of anybody.. the other day a teacher told me my shorts were to short and go to the office, I cried. lol I dont know why im so emotional but its annoying.. I cant keep a straight face. if my parents get on to me about something (rarely) I will get teary eyed or in some occasions I will cry. I dont know why my emotions are so bad... its only when people disaprove of me.. like in sad movies, I dont cry... its just emotions towards how people think of me I guess.. how do I control it? please help me

I was the same way, but I just learned to not take it personal...when someone says sumthn to u...just be like 'w/e'...don't let things get to u...
good luk!!!

mind over mater. if someone says something negative to you. take it in, think about it and if its not constructive, then just push it away. because if you dwell on it too much its just going to build up and cause you to cry. You said that usually when people dont approve of YOU you cry. well this might sound cleche but if you approve of yourself then you wont take peoples critisizm so harshly. no one is perfect embrace any differences you have.
