well crying takes up a lot of energy. You get emotionally drained. It also puts a lot of strain of your face. You are using a lot of muscles that you normally don't use on your face. it also seems like you have little control over it when you cry like you can't keep a straight face and when you try to stop, it puts strain on your face. it's like a cycle of muscle aches.

Oh okay. That makes sense. Thanks!

I started this column when I was 15 years old, so you'll notice that the advice has gotten better and better. I've always been interested in counseling and I started this column to gain experience. But, I found a lot more than that. I found a support system of caring and loving people. I received a degree in child development and currently working towards becoming a school psychologist. So, I hope you can feel confident in trusting me with your questions. This is more than just a fun site for me. I look back on my own questions from years ago, and I laugh when I read about my problems at 16. I've really come a long way! I'm relatively young, but I've had several experiences in life that have aided me in helping others. I hope to use those experiences for the greater good and help others who are not in their ideal situation!
