It's OK to Cry

          You may have heard the old phrase,"Boys don't cry." In the past, some people believed that males should never show their sadness. Today, however, many doctors believe that crying is perfectly normal and that it should even be encouraged.

          Recent scientific studies have shown that tears actually help to rid the body of toxins. Crying has also been shown to release pain-relieving chemicals from the brain. Today, many therapists and psychologists believe that crying is a healthy outlet for strong emotions, especially sadness. They say that it is unhealthy to keep these feelings bottled up inside.

          So, the next time you are sad, go ahead and she'd some tears; you will feel better after a good cry. You may even feel healthier, too.
