Yeah... emotion shouldn't be punished or made fun of, at all. Emotion is one of the truest forms of communication there is. Allowing ourselves to feel something shouldn't be punishable. But, my mom taught me to hide emotion and just power through a tough situation. "Stop crying and do something about it!" or my favorite, "Keep on and I'll really give you something to cry about!" The only issue I have with it is a personal one - I cry even when I'm angry. And that's a dangerous state of affairs for the people around me.
