I thought this might be an interesting topic to discuss. What makes you cry?
A book, a movie, an feeling/situation?

My fondest memory of crying was after reading Jessica by Bryce Courtney.
I cried so hard and wished I could jump into the book and fix all the crappy things she went though...and then give her a happy ending.

Anyway, back to you; What makes you cry?

The last time I really cried was a few years ago when I thought my mom was dying. I almost cried watching a music video (Kiss - Because I'm a Girl). And I sometimes have tears in my eyes when bad things happen to me and my friends . . .

I cry a lot at night. And I cry when I feel helpless. And when my sister kicks me. But, possibly the saddest thing was the time I made someone else cry because of something I said, and I started crying a lot then. But the thing that makes me cry the most is remembering that time when a random passerby who was in his late teens threw his cigarette butt at my face. For some reason, remembering that really makes me want to cry...

Anything soppy makes me cry, im a sucker for romance and love

but the last time i cried was when a friend of the family died, he took me to my first football match...damn life

I cried a lot after reading this poem:

"Things You Didn't Do"

Remember the day I borrowed your brand new car and I dented it?
I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't.
And remember the time I dragged you to the beach, and you
said it would rain, and it did?
I thought you'd say, "I told you so." But you didn't.
Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys to make
you jealous, and you were?I thought you'd leave me, but you didn't.
Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie all over
your car rug?
I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't.
And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal
and you showed up in jeans?
I thought you'd drop me, but you didn't.
Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do.
But you put up with me, and you loved me, and you protected me.
There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you
returned from Vietanm.
But you didn't.

i cry when i get hurt....like when i slamed the gate on mai finger...and started bleeding like crap...
and i dunno why but mai mom says i cry in mai sleep...

I cry.. during romantic/sad films, heh. Those really get me sometimes.. and I cry if I feel like I've disappointed someone who I really care about..

What's "dono"? :mellow:
Well, if I get hurt physically, then usually not. :heh:

I don't cry anymore...

Crying are for weaklings.

And really, don't begin to be like "But, crying is heaaaalthy, it shows your feeeeeeeeeelings...".

I will seriously laugh at any idiot who states that...

I cried when I got hit in the head really hard with a softball and had a concussion XD
I don't cry in front of people usually, like when I see emotional scenes and stuff in movies I hold it in unless it's just me watching it. I have an issue about letting people see me weak.

Aww ruby thats so sad , you shouldnt let yourself think like that although im the same. You should feel comfortable around your friends they will understand ^^I know i would. And the softball thing sucks >< id hate for that to happen to me =(

I&#39;d be quite happy to state it.

The only reason i dont cry is to stop people worrying about me.

Ive seen people cry at funeral and after 9/11. Dont you dare call them weak or idiots

I cried when my dad died, I&#39;m so weak ~ I also cry in some touching anime scenes. Films usually don&#39;t touch me, unless they are really really good.

man sorry to hear :( angelic man theres nothing weak about it.
As for me im just really sensitive i cant remember the last time i literally cried but the last time i had a tear in my eye was for the endin of ff 10 and watchin the green mile.

Oh... the Green mile made me cry ;_; such a beautiful film ^_^

Ever had your whole body shake uncontrollably while you cry?

Yeah, when I get really emotional.. did it when at my dad&#39;s funeral and when my previous gf left me.

bah I cried in Air Bud once XD, when I was young cause I was happy that evil dude didn&#39;t get it. Yes I am a dork. I cried when some girl tripped me and I Flew up in the air and landed on my head. It hurt a lot. yeah, I&#39;m weird. I cry at touching scenes in movies or when someone dies in a movie.

i am a scotish male who has hide his feelings all his life and now its impossible for me to cry evan when i want to it sucks

Yes, when my ultimate fear seemed to be coming true, when it seemed like somebody I cared about was leaving me.

I cry when i have an emotional overload, des knows what i mean. see, i always supress bad stuff that happens to me, and eventually it builds up so much that i pretty much break down and i feel like crap, sometimes when i&#39;m angry AND hurt i&#39;l cry or if something bad happens, like if someone dies, i try not to cry in front of people, especially in front of my mother when she&#39;s gotten really angry at me. i cried during some reeeeeally sad animes, like hotaru no haka and some really sad films.....i can&#39;t remember at this present time....damn, i sound like such a crybaby....really, i try noto cry to much, because i feel as though i&#39;m bringing my friends down with my mood

shouldn&#39;t this be in the private section btw?

:crybaby:

i&#39;m a total crybaby&#33; :heh:

but i&#39;m proud of being me. I cry mostly from sad movies or animations, wen it comes to break ups n death&#33; I cry wen i&#39;m in pain, and wen i get too emotional. even my b/f does, well just a lil, hehe. I envy guys who can hold back ther tears, and same with girls who hold back their emotions.

what anime doesn&#39;t make me cry?

I guess I got softer and softer as I watched more anime. Honestly, everything just seems so touching.

hmm, I don&#39;t cry when I&#39;m in pain; I just kinda rant. I&#39;m just pissed off that I tripped and ripped my knee open. I feel regretful, but don&#39;t cry.

As fo real life tragedy... I must say I&#39;ve never really cried. The reason is I haven&#39;t really had any tragedy in my life (and because of this, I&#39;m quite foolish)

Depending on what I&#39;ve done this time, I&#39;ll sometimes cry when I get hurt. :heh:
A book called "The Man Who Loved Clowns" was a real tear-jerker, but it was a great book. I sobbed at the end of Braveheart. T__T It was just one of those films, y&#39;know? I cried at my grandfather&#39;s funeral, and I cried on the day we left my dad to move to Colorado. I&#39;ve cried just about every time either my mom has to leave us again, or when we&#39;re leaving her. I have a fairly tear-filled life. :heh:

I don&#39;t cry. I just can&#39;t do it. I did when I was a little kid, and quite a lot, but now I just absolutely can&#39;t do it. I don&#39;t have feelings for people or myself, though in a ironic way I care about them. Its hard for me to explain. And that&#39;s why I don&#39;t cry for other people, or for myself.

I will admit that a few anime&#39;s and video games I&#39;ve played are very touching to me, and have brought tears to my eyes, but I ended up just being depressed for a few days, and then over it.

While I don&#39;t think people who cry are idiots, or that its healthy, I do think that crying is not a weakness. What&#39;s it a weakness to? That&#39;s right, nothing. Crying does not make anyone any less smart then what they already are. Or any more, for that case, and therefore, they can&#39;t become idiots for crying.

Things that makes me cry...I cry a lot lol. I cry a whole bunch. The most I&#39;ve ever cried was when my friend died of cancer this past March. I cried last night but out of happiness...I&#39;m in love <3

As for sad things that make me cry...When people at school make fun of me, when I don&#39;t so well on a test, when my mom yells at me, when my dad never calls, when my brother disappears, when my friends are hurt or when they hurt me....

In less serious things...I cry when I watch City of Angels and Cowboy bebop. A lot of books make me cry BAD. Where the Red Fern Grows, Of Mice and Men, Stargirl, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire...

That&#39;s all I can think of right now.

The last time I cried was when my first girlfriend broke up with me... I don&#39;t cry anymore... No more tears...

I hate crying...but sometimes when I read sad things or see people treating each other badly I get upset. Most of the time I get angry instead of sad.
I find I cry when I&#39;m really really really frustrated...it&#39;s either crying or putting my fist through a wall...believe I tried the fist through the wall thing and fractured my knuckle....I found out late the wall was actually concrete...not wood...

The last time I cried was a few hours ago. I was thinking about how confused and entirely screwed my life has become in a matter of weeks.

Aw, I hope you feel better Yoshinobu Chan.

hmm...crying...indeed...

i don&#39;t cry...the last time i cried was probably when i was very little...haha, my sister would sit on my and hit me...not cool...lol...

at times that other people might cry...i just get really frustrated and suppress my feelings...it will usually happen that that suppressed energy will come out when i least expect it and affect the others around me. I don&#39;t mean for that to happen, but i don&#39;t cry...hehe...yeah...but really the only thing that makes me frustrated that i have tears in my eyes (not really crying tho) is when i neglect my schoolwork for weeks at a time and it end up where i have 2 weeks of schoolwork due tomorrow and i haven&#39;t even started. hahaha, ah, but school is easy...i once read the first chapter of a book and got a 105% on an oral speech i gave on it....haha....it&#39;s so easy to fool teachers :heh: :heh:

I cried... when my girlfriend had gone missing and I couldn&#39;t reach her.. ;_; that was a few days ago, was so worried..

is she ok? i mean she&#39;s back rite?

well, yeah, of course ^^; I was so glad when she finally answered her phone ^_^

Actually, I think my girlfriend is the only person who I&#39;d cry for :mellow:

awwwww....
thats sweet&#33; ^.^

poor guy...thinking that being tough is cool...this is all shit I tell ya

actually....crying IS healthy as it does goodness thingy to your heart....(me GP told me so....)

crying is one of the things that i can do all day long....

whenever im derceived...spitfull thing said....thinking/talking about gramp.....blamed on for no reason..etcetc

*sigh*...what&#39;ll i do if i cant cry...&#33;??&#33;?

I don&#39;t really cry that easily.......yet anything sad in books or movies makes me tear up&#33; It&#39;s really twisted at times. I just get mad and really frustrated and generally don&#39;t cry.

I cry because I laugh so hard sometimes.....I&#39;m just too easy to make laugh. But hey, that&#39;s a whole different thing.

^_^

Well, I never cry when i get hurt physically. I&#39;ve broken my leg and didn&#39;t cry. I&#39;ve gotten an eight stitch gash and didn&#39;t cry. I got hit in the head by a cricket ball going for four and didn&#39;t cry. But i DID cry when my dad left us a while back.. but apart from that.. i don&#39;t cry much.. except when i yawn :) but i don&#39;t think that counts.

The song "Field of Gold" makes me want to cry... So sad... *sniff*

I love that song. The school choir sang it for one of the school concerts in memory of a girl in our school who had died of leukaemia. That was quite emotional..

:blink: Weird, it was played in the memory of a student at my old school too. He fell onto a train line when he was skipping school.

We had a memorial at school for the three students that died in one year. One of them was my classmate, by the way.

An acoustic guitar version of Moonlight Sonata was played on that memorial, and it made me cry. Not the song, but that my classmate died of a long-time illness.

stairway to heaven makes my cry,


played at a friends funeral

What makes me cry --- ?

Saying farewells to those I care, watching sad/depressing animes, listening to sad music while thinking about depressing things, praying for others..

Edit: also -- when someone says something I most want to hear :cry:

What makes me cry?&#33;Hey&#33;Nothing can make me cry&#33; :D ----&#62; :crybaby:
Actually...something make me cry&#33;
The sad music together with sad Japanese movies made me cry&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; :cry: :crybaby:

some books make me cry... like in 5th grade i cried over the book "Where the Red Fern Grows"

i dont cry from pain,fights,etc.-only when my dad accuses me of something i didnt do and...uh... kinda hits me.i cry cause my own Father doesnt believe me.... that really hurts me

I was reading a fanfic, and it there was this bit that was so moving and sad and beautiful and *sniff* my eyes welled up and........yeah....

Seeing all the Russian students on t.v made me cry. So many children and futures wasted. I&#39;m getting kinda teary now. It kinda makes me want to go rip those Chesian (Can&#39;t spell it) rebel/terrorist&#39;s throats out.
How DARE they take so many lives. *shaking with anger*
What RIGHT DO THEY HAVE TO COMMIT SUCH ATROCITIES?&#33;?&#33;
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
*calming slowly* Sorry....I just got a bit carried away, but it makes me so sad and upset.

It makes everyone upset.....damn them, DAMN THEM TO HELL&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

Yesterday, one of my fish died and I cried because I loved my fish (I have two, just one now). I know I&#39;ll never forget Grace. I wrapped her up and flushed her (we have cats, I couldn&#39;t throw her out.) I miss her already, Will is bored in the tank now. My friends thought I was weird for crying over a fish...

that&#39;s no weird, you loved something, and now you&#39;ve lost it. I know I would be sad if i had a fish and it died. I was so upset when one of my budgies dies a few years ago. I cried and was so sad.

cried when my kitten fell off the roof (7stories) and... well... you get the idea :cry:

thats awful. i have a friend who had the same thing happen to her. losing pets is hard, i cried a while back when my doggie had to be put down :cry:

i you beg hard enough i tell you a real &#39;good&#39; story thatll make you want to throw up, cry and comit suicide and murder (its about kittens)...

*shudders*

just realised last night what i cry about the most now....my grandfather, even just thinking about him makes me extreme tearful for at least ten minutes.....goodness i missed him....

i am the ULTIMATE CRYBABY. i will cry about anything. being hurt emotionally or physically, and sometimes i just lay in bed and cry for no reason. < yeah i know, thats not normal... :blink:

I think the last time I cryed was two years ago when two girls in my seventh grade passed away.
That and when I read a story about the Holocaust a few weeks later. I&#39;m a sucker for Holocaust stories.

Umm..... It&#39;s hard for me to cry...... I guess the world has put...... its standards in me....... "men never cry"........ some of my friends say that....... but only one thing makes me cry...... thinking about someone never loving me....... and now i&#39;m doing to right now....... sorry..... its how i talk......

Unknown, please do not overuse the "." key, thank you.

I remember that. That was the only time I truly cried, myself. I&#39;m still not over that, to tell the truth. I mean, it seems like only yesterday that Kelsie was in the band room, talking....and such. I dunno. Maybe I&#39;m just weird.

It takes alot for me to cry. But (it may sound pathetic) I do cry at some points in videogames (like Final Fantasy X). And I almost cried when Samwise had to leave Frodo in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

i cried last night...dont want to go into why but i was almost too stupid for words

nothing&#39;s to stupid to cry about...wait, what i mean is, if yo cried about it, it&#39;s not stupid, because it means it&#39;s somehting that means something to you.....sorry, but that made sense in my head&#33;

crying can be a method to releasing stress....etcetc...

inu--that makes sense...(to me anyway)

wow no one&#39;s talked on this thingy for awhile so I guess I will ^_^

The last time I really cried (The times when I&#39;ve been on my period don&#39;t count cuz my hormones are screwed up and I cry every 2 minutes) was a memorial service for some girl in my class who cimitted suicide. At first I wanted to cry becuase it was sad but I was trying not to because I didnt want there to be a chain reaction. I tried sooo hard (I actually messed up my throat really bad from the effort) but ended up crying when her parent went up and talked about her. I couldn&#39;t help thinking about all the times I&#39;ve wanted to kill myself and how i was so selfish for thinking that way and how my mom would be as sad as her parents and...yeah I was sobbing by the end of the service. That was a year ago I still get sad when I see her memorial plaque. She would have been a sophomore....so sad.

I&#39;m just... weird when it comes to crying... most the time... it&#39;s random :blink: but when I know it&#39;s DEFINATELY gonna happen... wellll... it involves a LOT of funerals... *mumbles something*

Last time I cried was when I saw Grave Of The Fireflies. I don&#39;t cry often, but that movie had me sobbing for hours.

cant remeber the last time i actually cried...for some reason i find that upsetting

Hmm.... lots of stuff can make me cry, but I&#39;ll always wait until I&#39;m alone to cry.
Last time I cried in front of someone was my mother, when my beloved best friend
started to cut herself. My mother said she was so proud of me for telling her, and
that I had maybe saved her life. I couldn&#39;t help starting to sob then... but my problem is, once I cry I can&#39;t really stop for quite a long time, or I continue later on when I&#39;m on my own. Like when I went to bed I cried then, very quietly.

Crying occassionally is meant to be good for you apparently.

I agree ^_^. It doesn&#39;t really solve anything but there are times when it just seems like you&#39;ll explode it you don&#39;t.

the last time i cryed was when my brother first started college and he had to leave.

Aww :hugs badger:.
That&#39;s gonna be me in august&#33;&#33; My Cousin is going all the way to california for college&#33;&#33; all the way ACROSS the country....gosh i&#39;m gettin all sentimental thinking about it....:cry:

o im sry :( well my brother went like 100 miles away. but he berly talks to me and my mom anymore.

that&#39;s kinda depressing actually. I wonder whether my brother will cry when I go at the end of this year :think:

i almost never cry.... exept when my dad died... (a year ago) i cried for nearly a minute then stopped... i never cried since.

It takes alot for some people to cry. Maybe you&#39;re just one of those people

mabe... i think i tend to "crush" my emotions before they appeir on the surface. it doesnt take too much to make me cry, i think i just stop myself from feeling emotions befoe i get a phisical reaction. -.-

I used to do that then one day i kinda just "exploded" on somebody (A good friend who was just trying to help...I still feel really bad). That&#39;s still my first instinct, to hold it in, but I try not to.

I hate to cry. I never cry when I&#39;m sad, only when I&#39;m absolutely shaking with rage and anger. When I&#39;m sad I just bite my lip and mentally bash my head in XD. I really hate crying, it just makes me pissed off. It&#39;s weird, in others I think crying is natural, but when I cry if feels as if I&#39;m letting myself down by showing my weakness (which ultimately PISSES ME OFF&#33;), maybe it&#39;s coz I&#39;m the oldest child in my family and I feel like I need to show them that I&#39;m strong so that if they ever have any problems or something, I can help deal with them without being hurt or upset....stupid psychological stuff T_T

Ah yes, I like to call it "emotional lockdown" (not really, i just made it up just then XD) nah, but like Fob n Shade, a lot of the time, I think i subconcioussly squash everythin down inside, then when it gets tos much, it just pours out, and like Des, I HATE it. I feel like a little weak kitten. I mostly hate crying over stupid, insignificant things, that annoys me. But sometimes, like a few days ago, I watched a few peopel die in an anime I was watching, and I was weeping, I just felt so sad, then I was reading about more people dying in a book, and it&#39;s one of my favourite series (The Wind on Fire Trilogy by WIlliam Nicholson). I&#39;ve read it so many times, all three books, and I was reading the last one again, and at the end, my eyes were just overflowing.

But I think it&#39;s good if a book can move you, every time you read it n_n And also, I was talking to someone over msn, and I just suddenly felt to emotional. We were just saying something as simple as "We&#39;re there for each other" and stuff, coz we were both feeling blergh, and my eyes just welled up. Emotional overflow, yes indeedly-doo.

But I still don&#39;t like crying in front of others. I do it at times, but it doesn&#39;t mean I like it <_< Kinda the same reason as Des. I hate feeling weak etc etc. I&#39;ve cried too much when I was younger, and want to believe I&#39;m a stronger person now, and if I cry, especially in front of people, it makes me feel so WEAK. Keh.

Well, that was a happy post, ne? XD

Hmmm, I don&#39;t think I crush what I feel down...I more vent by punching the crap out of something and then let it go....:blink: I think I must be a very rage driven person...

Well, you&#39;ve seen me at my full blown anger :heh: apparently I&#39;m scary when I&#39;m angry, at it&#39;s various levels. Yes, my anger seems to have levels XD And unfortunately, I&#39;ve sustained quite a few injuries from it :doh:

Lol Yep&#33; Seen you angry a few times ^_^ I don&#39;t think ANYONE&#39;s ever seen me fully angry. Like Really , Really FULL BLOWN anger. I&#39;m normally pretty calm XD

Yeah, to calm me down XD In that department, you&#39;re more restrained than I am XD

i exploded only once, i think... took me 0.7 seconds to snap his arm. bastard was hitting my friend just for fun, and it wasnt my day, poor him.

:blink: snap?? ouchies&#33;

last time I lost it... 0.2 seconds to twist a guy&#39;s bowel >.< and that was FIVE YEARS AGO

O.o TWIST?&#33;?&#33; actually..i usually never cry...even if i am in great pain, or i am very sad....i cry when i get angry though...and when i get fustrated...i&#39;ve had a mental breakdown once where i just couldn&#39;t stop crying...i think i had an asthma attack while i was crying and i couldn&#39;t breather...XD i almost fainted from lack of oxygen, and that was only earlier this year...


I did cry once when i was watching this very sad movie about this little girl always being negleted by her family, it reminded me of myself when i was younger...

Awww. At least you&#39;re not neglected now&#33; You have your brother still and I&#39;m sure your parents can&#39;t be that bad. Maybe they were just busy. Cheer up Shizuno. Everyone on ichigos will be your friend so there&#39;s no worry about neglect.

yeah...that&#39;s true....=l they were always busy when i was younger so they never really took much notice of me...but when i turned 7 they finally realized that i actually existed...so my dad decided to take his responsibilities as my father, so did my mum...we&#39;re still connecting though, but its working....

"Things You Didn&#39;t Do"

I thought you&#39;d kill me, but you didn&#39;t.
And remember the time I dragged you to the beach, and you
said it would rain, and it did?
I thought you&#39;d say, "I told you so." But you didn&#39;t.
Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys to make
you jealous, and you were?I thought you&#39;d leave me, but you didn&#39;t.
Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie all over
your car rug?
I thought you&#39;d kill me, but you didn&#39;t.
And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal
and you showed up in jeans?
I thought you&#39;d drop me, but you didn&#39;t.
Yes, there were lots of things you didn&#39;t do.
But you put up with me, and you loved me, and you protected me.
There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you
returned from Vietanm.
But you didn&#39;t.
Wow, thats extremly sad.......
I don&#39;t cry about this but I think about it all the time, I don&#39;t think my dad is going to live much longer. He has been smoking since he was 13 and drinking also. He hasn&#39;t drank in 15 years because it will kill him instandly but he continues to smoke, he has tried to quit but he just can&#39;t. He is 47 now, and everyday when he leaves for work, will he ever come back? Right before I go to sleep at night I always wonder, will I ever see him again after I wake up? Or will I find an ambulance outtside our house. Its something that makes me want to cry but I hope it never happens.

hm...my dad died of a heart attack atfer returning from the persian gulf war.

i found this on another forum. it made me tear up. =(

it&#39;s pretty long so i put spoiler tags on it. it&#39;s "a dog&#39;s diary", as quoted from the other forum.

When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you
laugh.

You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a
couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend.

Whenever I was "bad," you&#39;d shake your finger at me and ask "How
could you?" -- but then you&#39;d relent and roll me over for a bellyrub.

My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you
were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. I remember those
nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and
secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be anymore
perfect. We went for long walks and runs in the park,car rides,
stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad
for dogs" you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you
to come home at the end of the day.

Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career,
and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you
patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments,
never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at
your homecomings, and when you fell in love.

She, now your wife, is not a "dog person" -- still I welcomed
her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I
was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along
and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness,
how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you
worried that I might hurt them,and I spent most of my time banished
to another room, or to a dog crate.

Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became a "prisoner of love."

As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur
and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes,
investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved
everything about them and their touch -- because your touch was now
so infrequent -- and I would&#39;ve defended them with my life if need
be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and
secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in
the driveway.

There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that
you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories
about me. These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed
the subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and
you resented every expenditure on my behalf.

Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and
they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets.

You&#39;ve made the right decision for your "family," but there was a
time when I was your only family.

I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal
shelter.

It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness.

You filled out the paperwork and said "I know you will find a good
home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They
understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one
with "papers."

You had to pry your son&#39;s fingers loose from my collar as he
screamed "No, Daddy&#33; Please don&#39;t let them take my dog&#33;"

And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him
about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility,and
about respect for all life.

You gave me a good-bye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and
politely refused to take my collar and leash with you. You
had a deadline to meet and now I have one, too. After you left, the
two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move
months ago and made no attempt to find me another good home. They
shook their heads and asked, "How could you?"

They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy
schedules allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite
days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the
front, hoping it was you that you had changed your mind -- that
this was all a bad dream... or I hoped it would at least be someone
who cared, anyone who might save me.

When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for
attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated
to a far corner and waited. I heard her footsteps as she came for me
at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a
separate room.

A blissfully quiet room. She placed me on the table and rubbed my
ears, and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of
what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief.

The prisoner of love had run out of days.

As is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which
she bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, thesame way I
knew your every mood.

She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran
down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort
you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into
my vein.

As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my
body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured
"How could you?"

Perhaps because she understood my dogspeak, she said "I&#39;m so sorry."
She hugged me, and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I
went to a better place, where I wouldn&#39;t be ignored or abused or
abandoned, or have to fend for myself -- a place of love and light
so very different from this earthly place.

And with my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump
of my tail that my "How could you?" was not directed at her. It
was directed at you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of you.

I will think of you and wait for you forever. May everyone in
your life continue to show you so much loyalty.

A Note from the Author: If "How Could You?" brought tears to
your eyes as you read it, as it did to mine as I wrote it, it is
because it is the composite story of the millions of
formerly "owned"pets who die each year in American & Canadian animal
shelter.

Anyone is welcome to distribute the essay for a noncommercial
purpose, as long as it is properly attributed with the copyright
notice.

Please use it to help educate, on your websites, in newsletters,on
animal shelter and vet office bulletin boards. Tell the public that
the decision to add a pet to the family is an important one for
life,that animals deserve our love and sensible care, that finding
another appropriate home for your animal is your responsibility and
any local humane society or animal welfare league can offer you good
advice,and that all life is precious.

Please do your part to stop the killing, and encourage all spay &
neuter campaigns in order to prevent unwanted animals. -Jim Willis

Please pass this on to everyone, not to hurt them or make them sad,
but it could save maybe, even one unwanted pet.

Remember...They love UNCONDITIONALLY, If you give them LOVE.

:crybaby: Seriously. I miss my dog.

aww Zach.. :( you make me miss my rabbit now.

awwwww....
*i only had time to read the 1st 3 sentences XD *
but still awwww.....

Tears came to my eyes, but only because I slept in my contacts a few days ago and I am still suffering from it. Maybe the guy should have gotten a cat.

:crybaby: Seriously. I miss my dog.

You're OK~! *huggles Zach* Awww, I'm so sorry about your dog. :comfort:

=_= my mom made me cry yesterday. It was three in the morning and she comes into my room yelling about something or other...I sat there and tried soooo hard not to cry. It made my throat hurt so bad but I managed not to until she left. No one can make me cry like she can...I dunno it just hurts worse when it's her, I guess.

Isn't this thread a good idea ? I think everyone feels better about what makes them cry after talking about it with respecting others. ^_^

As for myself, I cry when I do something wrong and I know... because other people told me or because I realize myself. I had tears in my eyes when reading the dog story too.

I'm kind of sensible... I don't imagine how I would react if anything worst than that would happen. I'd cry so much I'd deshydrate myself... :unsure:

I almost cried today because my parents were fighting over something stupid and then Mum threw something at me and it smacked me across the head.
But like always I'm starting to find I can't cry. My idea of crying now is just letting one tear free and then biting the crap out of something to hold back the rest.
It's weird, like somethings stuck in your chest and you just have to swallow it down.
^_^ Lol This probably sounds really tragic and dramatic, oh well. I figure sometime in my 40's repressed stuff will swamp me and I'll cry for a week. XD Lol.

i cried wheni broke my arm........

and that sucks. i get into a lotta fights w/ my mom. never went to her tossing stuff at me, tho

the last time i cried is when my friend went on holiday, this time last week actually. i dont know why something as small as that made me cry, when i didnt shed a single tear when my rabbit died, but hey

Nothing makes me cry except those who treat my love as donation.... not to be returned

@thorn - I know what you mean. I cried at the latest harry potter book but I don't even feel anything when I think about why my parents split up......

the last time i cried is when my friend went on holiday, this time last week actually. i dont know why something as small as that made me cry, when i didnt shed a single tear when my rabbit died, but hey


grrr. rabbits.

The song Yubiwaa always want to make me cry O_O'

Well, what makes me cry are...romantic movies, sad movies. Yeah...I'm a big softy...(not homosexual!!!! just have a soft heart twards romantic situations with girls...) it Doesn't matter Anime or Live action, they just bring tears to my eyes...yeah it was kinda embarrassing at school, we watched this romantic movie and I was prolly the only one that really watched it, and I was the only on crying the the whole class room...just because I can relate to thoses kinds of movies, I have been in lots of romantic, and sad situations that would prolly make a great movie to take your date on.

Umm, I have never cried for a movie before. But I have for many many many books. (I read romance >.>) umm, I actually laugh when I get hurt. Like my brother kicked me in my face and I just laughed. Ummmm, the song "To Zanarkand" Makes me sad, but not to the point that I cry. It only makes me sad because I had that one song on repeat while I read a very very sad story. This (http://www.cabucojuice.com/sad.html) is it. It was rather poorly written I think, and it is long, but I cried sobbed at the end of it. :tear: But um, have "To Zanarkand" on repeat while reading it, and me thinks the song will be lots more sadder.

Sad and emotional movies and books make me cry, and seeing friends hurt

hm...this is so personal, but sometimes i just cry while sleeping. Like sometimes i dream of me being left alone on the street or like abandon by love ones, then for some reason tears will just come out.

That hapens to me too! Sometimes I actually wake up and I'm reaching out or something it's actually kind of weird because it doesn't happen that often but when it does the dreams are VERY vivid.

same with me, with movies and stuff, i can get nightmares and i can cry really easily

wow really??? the only thing close that i have to that was when i was little in my dream my sis wouldnt share so i cried (lol sounds dumb dosent it?)

"Dumbo" and "Fox and the Hound" can make me cry without fail, no matter what mood I'm in. And other things make me cry too but those vary.

Chrono cross.....XD

The green Mile is one of the few films that makes me cry. I think it's great.

no movie has ever made me cry... maybe because Im always thinking "its just a movie"

well...to be honest...it is just a movie..

The things that make me cry are:
1. Really, Really, Sad Movies
2. Really, Really, Sad Stories/Books
3. Really, Really, Sad Poems
4. Really, Really, Sad Memories
5. Really, Really, Harsh Words That Are Meant For Me/My Friends/My Family
NOTE: For #5, it kinda does make me cry but most of the time I just beat
up the person who said that (if I'm able to) or I just say that
whatever they just said was them.
I don't cry if I get hit by a ball or anything except once when a soccer ball
hit me in my chest really really hard that I had to go the the office, but I
can't do anything about it, it came automatically.

Naruto episode around... 15-23... i think. I just started watching naruto so that was unexpected. i cried A LOT on those episodes

The things that make me cry are horomones,(lol) sad books, movies, and put downs from my Father.

The last time I cried reallly really hard was after watching Phantom of the Opera.....God I really hated that movie after that....it was good...but the fact that it made me cry that hard made me not want to watch it ever again.

Touching anime/movie ends, when my ET teacher gives us a sermon to the class that mainly says:"The world's end is gonna be in 2025"

chopping onions for a meal makes me cry :mellow:

I don't cry, I only almost cry.

I cry.....I cry when I am happy
I cry when it hurts......I cry if someone else is in pain and I can't help
....................I cry when other people can't cry......

Lately I've been crying all the time...I hate it. It's kind of embarrassing when you're in your english class watching the sixth sense and all of a sudden your eyes start to water and everyone gives you a funny look.....*shame* the end was sad!!! *hides* :sigh:

So yeah...I've been finding myself getting emotional really easily lately...

I think it was the 23rd episode of Chobits that also made me cry.

Last time I cried was when my mom died
Since then I told my self that I will never cry again
Maybe I will look sad,but I hope I won't cry
I hate crying
Crying makes me look funny

I cried when my friends bought me a piano book I'd been looking for everywhere but couldn't find... my fellow peasants always look out for me, and they're honestly the best friends I could ever wish for. It will be hard to leave them, and I will probably cry then.

i cried today and i have NO idea why.. seriously. but it was only a few drops so no biggie

I cry a lot. A lot. xDDD I cried whilst watching FMA when Hughes... yeah. And I'm a sucker for corny romance stories and all that jazz. :]

I cry a lot now. Sometimes, just for no reason. Sometimes, because something really sad has happened or I saw or heard something sad or bad happen. Sometimes, happiness.

i cry when i get too embarassed. both anger and shame i guess. its like i want to scream at them saying "stop staring! sheesh!" but i end up crying instead

i cry when i get too embarassed. both anger and shame i guess. its like i want to scream at them saying "stop staring! sheesh!" but i end up crying instead
I don't really cry but I do feel both anger and shame at the same time.

too much of those 2 make me explode and end up crying. im like an emotional bomb or something

I cry easily, but there are a couple things that can burst me to tears:
1.) Sad movies ^^'
2.) Seeing someone I know in pain
3.) Boredom.

But I can cry because I'm happy too. One time I was visiting my livejournal friend's boyfriend's journal and he wrote about how much he loved my friend. Although...I think I was crying because I was jealous...

The ending to Final Fantasy VIII, the ending of the fifth Harry Potter book, and the time I fell down the stairs and hit the back of my head on tile all made me cry. :heh:

At night, I cried 'Cause thay say that Love Hina would be on Chilean TV (2006)
It might be the first time I cry for happiness

The ending to Final Fantasy VIII, the ending of the fifth Harry Potter book, and the time I fell down the stairs and hit the back of my head on tile all made me cry. :heh:


the ending of harry potter 6 will make you cry, its really really sad:cry:

the ending of harry potter 6 will make you cry, its really really sad:cry:

Yeah, I'd finished the book within two or three days of its release... I kinda figured something like that would happen, so I wasn't too surprised.

For the sake of not spamming, onions make me cry. ^_^

I don't really cry....last time I cried was 5 years old ish?
I only cry when I get physically hurt...not emotionally. Although even when I twisted my foot in the 6th grade I never cried...I was just in pain....big pain, I was given a cast.

and the last time I remembered when I cried was when I slipped in the rain and cut my left knee...I was bleeding so much.
