Okay, I hate to say this, but its probably a phase. If your a girl, its normal for them to be pretty emotional, I've had that a few times too, emotional breakdowns, but you gotta not let little things make you upset. Its your choice to be upset, no one elses. Because "no one can make you feel inferior, without your permission."
It wont neccasarily give you depression, if you do want to get better, you have to not let the little things bother you, you have to remind yourself that its not that bad, and there are people worse off, who are actually really depressed, and their view on life, is much worse than yours, they feel so bad, its hard to even imagine, especially if you are a relativley happy person. Just remember that.

I suggest you go talk to a counsular or someone, you can get some help with, and you can talk about things, it feels so much better after you vent, or release feelings.

Hope things get better.

I'm no psychologist, but i remember that i used to easily get upset over something minor.

there are a variety of ways, all depending on what the real problem is.

if the reason you cry is because you're easily embarrassed and feel like the world's all laughing at you or something, then try to think of an experience someone ELSE had that was 10x worse. like if your teacher catches you not listening, think about someone who got sent to the principal's office. often, people forget about it by then.

there's no sure way in helping you maintain a cool composure. but you could try making it a joke out of everything. think of the humorous side of it. friends always helps. have a couple of friends over, play charades with a bunch of scenerios that might make you break down and cry. once you find the humor in the situation the embarrassment or offense is completely gone.

you could also try to direct all the extra emotion into something else. like i have this word document (i can't write fast) where i type all my thoughts and emotions. i get so worn out thinking about ways to portray my emotion through words, it becomes a writing assignment, no longer the actual experience. sketching is nice too. you could even just scribble. find a way to let out all the angst.

another thing is try to keep smiling. even if it turns out to be a crooked, obviously fake smile. you might even laugh at yourself trying to smile.

try your hardest to brush it off. i know this is probably the obvious advice, but that's probably the best. the only way to really overcome it is to not really care what other people think.

i'm sorry if this didn't really help. but i really hope it turns out ok for you. good luck.
