Today, we were having elections at our school. Theres this one boy that i REALLY think should not be running for presidnet. I am also running for presidnet, and since i thought it was unfair, and also because these kids were teasing me and hurting my feelings, i decided i would go to the vice principal, me and him are close. And when i was telling him, since i get kinda emotional easily, i started to get teary eyed and he said"dont get upset" and i started to cry... idk it was kinda weird.. do u think i made a fool of myself?

No. Emotions are uncontrollable. In the movie, "Raise Your Voice" It shows that artistic people are more emotional. The people who made fun of you are morons. You should be proud that you had the idea to run for president. It takes confidence. Sorry you had such a bad day.
P. S. I cry when things like that happen too, so don't feel bad...

Nope.... dude just probably didn't know how to handle the situation if you were crying. Think, if you're telling this to your mom or dad, and you started to cry, they'd probably hug you. It would be *weird* for him to hug you. So he was just uncomfortable with the situation. And he can't tell anyone that you were crying anyways, except your parents. There is some kind of confidentiality there. Mostly, it's hard for guys to express emotions, so if they see someone else doing it, it makes them uncomfortable.

No principals see stuff like that all the time. You are at an age where some things seem really serious to you, trust me it could have been a lot worse than that.

If you thought he should not be in the running for president then you should have brought that to your constituents and let them decide explain to everyone why he shouldn't be in the race not go complain about him to someone above his head. to me your showing that you can't handle a tough situation by your self its OK to be overly emotional but be emotional and passionate in away that would have gotten your constituents to see why you should be president instead of the other guy not cry about it and give in

No, not a fool, certainly not.
You just got a bit emotional (which isn't bad!), and, if the vice-principal is OK, they'd understand.
If not, don't worry anyway.

you got emotional because someone you thought was not fit to be president was running for it too and that was unfair.what did you want?just give you the job?
i don't think you are leadership material.it's going to get a whole lot worse before you die.

Nope~ You did the right thing. I really don't think people should tease you like that, but it happens and it's great that you have someone to turn to for support.

Nah. You might have been embarrassed, but I'm sure he forgot about the crying episode right after you left. Don't worry.

not necessarily, but if you get too emotional , maybe you want to take it slow specially if you are running for president at your school.
Most of the times, that task involves too much pressure. (I´m sure you know that already)
Good Luck!

No, but you should try harder to control the tears. Life is only going to get harder & you need to toughen up if you plan on being ready for it.
