Sorry. Parents say many things to their kids that aren't true. They have your best interests at heart though. Here's an interesting web site: http://iusedtobelieve.com/

No. That's a new one...never heard that before. When you cry, your tears come from your tear ducts, which are at the corners of your eyes. They are not inside your eyes, so I don't see why it would cause blindness.
Anyway, tears are natural and a great lubricant in keeping your eyes clean. Tears are your friends! :)

puhleaz. It was your parents way of trying to get you to keep a stiff upper lip. Otherwise, half the nation would be blind by now.

No, it's just some stupid stuff mothers tell their children, like when the kids are making faces and the mothers say "if you keep doing that, your face will freeze that way"

not even close. Crying is good for your eyes, rinses them out with the best kind of saline solution.
