Keep the cold water running and cut near the sink.
Also, toss a tiny bit of salt on your cutting board after you have peeled the onion, but before slicing it. Rub the onion around in the salt.
It absorbs the moisture and makes it a little easier to NOT cry.

Put the onions in the fridge for a while before cutting them., or put a hunk of bread between your teeth and this will absorb the fumes.

Seriously hold a metal teadspoon inbetween your teeth in honestly work pretty amazing its got to do with the stainless steel repelling the fumes or something.
Also just slice the ends of and peel in running water

Burn a candle near where you are cutting the onions, this will neutralize the fumes which cause you tears.

Breathe in through your mouth and out from your nose. It works for me every time I cut an onion!

Wear goggles while you cut the onion. Works every time.
