Crying is seen as an expression of emotion - we cry when we are sad and sometimes when we are happy as well, as in "weeping with laughter".
The tears we cry are produced by small glands above our eyes (called "tear glands") and then travel down tubes called "tear ducts" which open onto the eye under our upper eyelids. The tear ducts deliver tears near the outside of our eyes and the tears flow down and inwards towards our nose. Here there are small drainage tubes at the end of our lower eyelids and these take the tears down into the nose (this is why when we cry our noses run). This flow is used to wash away any unwanted particles that get onto the surface of your eye - usually when you have something in your eye, your eyes will water and the offending particle ends up nearer your nose.
Tears contain chemicals, most notably salt, which are used to clean the surface of the eye and kill any bacteria or other bugs that may be on the surface of the eye.
Thus, the biological response to anything unpleasant in or near the eye is to produce tears. The tears are produced by small muscles near the eye squeezing the tear glands and we can do this deliberately by screwing up our faces so that our eyes water. These same muscles are also linked to centres in the brain that control how we deal with unpleasant things and other stimuli that produce strong emotions - again crying through fear, pain etc is common and is designed to happen in case the eyes are also threatened.
Some people cry much more readily than others - it's not that they are somehow weaker or more emotional, just that their "crying reflex" is stronger.
There are conditions where your eyes will water continuously - most commonly if you have something irritating your eyeball or the inside of your eyelid, such as a foreign object stuck there or an infection or irritation such as hayfever. you may also suffer from the drainage ducts leading to your nose being blocked so your tears overflow from your eyes and run down your cheeks (this happens naturally if you cry more tears than the drainage ducts can cope with).
If your eyes have started weeping all the time then you should consult your doctor to make sure that whatever the cause is gets dealt with.

Crying often does not mean that you are spoiled, selfish or a baby; it may just be how you need to express yourself and your emotions right now.
If you start to feel that your emotions are totally out of control, it may be a very good idea to speak with someone like a counselor or an adult you trust. But I firmly believe that everyone has their own unique way of expressing their emotions.
Crying doesn't hurt anyone and it is a useful way to express yourself. It's much better than bottling up emotions that may come out in a more destructive way. I was and am a pretty big crier so I am not sure if I am being totally impartial, but I am pretty sure that I am.

Mostly, we cry because of our soul feels desperate and knows
that something is wrong with what we have done or failed to
do to others. Some others may seem to cry when they are
elated, but this is emotion only. Real CRY is from the SOUL.
When cry please pray some like this:
O Lord, I know that I am unworthy and nothing, but please
give me strength and love to forgive those who has not
only offended me, but YOU O LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.
I forgive them and hope you forgive them as well since
once we will be called and crossed over we will not hold
that heavy chain that keep me away from you, GOD,
TRUTH AND CREATOR OF EVERYTHING AND of course,
of my soul. Send The HOLY SPIRIT in order
to heal my soul and all the pain I have right now.
I LOVE YOU LORD and hope one day be worthy of YOU
and YOUR KINGDOM. Send The HOLY SPIRIT TO LEAD
ME INTO YOU, FATHER, SON AND HIMSELF, THE HOLY
SPIRIT. EVEN SO. AMEN.
Hope it will be useful not only to you, but anyone that somehow
feels down and would want to cry or will be crying.
Praying GOD solves All The Problems. Even Cancer. For GOD,
to cure cancer is like to cure a light headache. Figure out.

Are you depressed? Try to write down when you cry. It would help to figure it out exactly when you do it.
Is it during the time you have your period? That could be hormones. If there is something else going on, you have to write it down so you can figure it out. We all cry at different times. Sometimes, you need to let out some stress and crying is one way to do it.

You are probably suffering from a sub-conscious instability or complex. These things are very hard to deal with as usually we cannot find out why we become emotionally upset even when our higher brain functions tell us we shouldn't be.
You may benefit from counselling, or, you may not. It could be a long road ahead for you

It is something to do with emotions. Emotions are very powerful that it makes some glands of our body to loose control... thats why tears fall from our eyes in extreme happiness/ sadness.
