I was talking to my friend on IM and having a great time when my mom called me downstairs and told me to take my brother to the pool for 30 minutes. I didn't want to because I was having a good time, I wanted to relax, and who goes swimming for only 30 minutes? Plus, she said that I could play computer after while she took my brother to a place I like (at first she said it was a secret but it slipped out later). Well, after that, I got mad and said, "No! N-O!"
They just left the house now to go there (didn't go swimming), and I called my mom's phone because i just felt the need to. My brother picked up and I said, "I wanna go!" while tears silently streamed down my face, and he told me, "But it's only for mom and me." (not in a mean way) And my mom took the phone and said, "Just play computer while we go, ok?" and she sounded so kind, and I felt guilty because I was so stubborn and all. I also cried because I was missing out on something fun.
Sorry this was so long. Thanks.

It's not a stupid reason to cry, you felt left out and your feelings were hurt. It's a perfectly normal reaction. Just remember that you probably hurt your brother's feelings when you wouldn't take him swimming. Sometimes it's super hard to be patient and nice to your siblings (especially if they're younger) but it will be worth it in the end, really.
I'm glad your mother and brother weren't mean to you when you called. I'm sure your mother has a special reason for taking him out on his own, she'll probably tell you about it later.

Sometimes it is hard to see the bigger picture, like missing out on computer to do other things that you would rather do. Don't let things control you, you are in control of you.
As far as the crying thing, if you felt stupid because you disobeyed your mother, that is reasonable. If you were crying because your mom was doing something with your brother and not you, that is ok as well. However if you are crying because you wanted to play computer and do the fun thing, then that is stupid and you need to think about other people than just yourself.

I think thats it perfectly fine. I mean you did something that you kinda regret and you feel bad about it. It's fine to cry about something like that. It's also nice how decided to call your mom after they left. It shows that you have a higher up maturity level and that you care for people. Just make sure you consider whats gonna happen to the people involved the next time you make a decision like that. Maybe you can try and find a way to make it up to your brother . =)

Girl, there is nothing wrong with crying, it helps you feel better and i would of cried to, you wanted to go as well, sounds like you need to have a talk with your mom and tell her you want to spend time with her and go to that place as well with just her, maybe she thinks you'd rather be on the computer than go with her ya know?...so, cry it out and you'll feel better then when you can talk to your mom about it, i have a feeling she doesn't know you feel this way, i'm sure she didn't know you felt left out, just tell her how you feel and set up a date that you and her can go by yourselves........God bless

Tears of guilt? If you took your brother swimming instead of shoving him off you probably wouldn't be feeling shoved off yourself. Sounds like you're getting an idea of how he felt when you did what you did... Maybe you'll think of what something may mean to the other person and not just your own feelings from now on.

As a preteen or teenager, it's common to cry when feeling distance rowing between you and your family. Growing away from your family in a sense that you will not do as many things together is a part of growing up. It isn't a stupid reason to cry, simply because you just aren't used to it yet.
It takes time, be patient and in the mean time, try to be nice to your family, and spend as much time with them as possible. One day you won't have that luxury!

Everyone cries. I cry over the stupidest things, I cry over combinations of things. A few days ago, it was really hot outside and I came home from babysitting, I was really uncomfortable and sweaty and we had no food, I needed to go out on my bike to buy groceries, I couldn't find my socks, I was itchy and uncomfortable, and I just burst out sobbing. If you get stressed out you just start crying. It's all part of being a hormonal teenage girl hun. :P

I don't really think there's ever a stupid reason to cry. I mean, we all need to express emotion somehow, right? I'm not saying that you should cry 24/7, but I wouldn't worry about situations like this. Besides, it's your prerogative as a woman to be a little overemotional at times! :)

Crying can help you release even the silliest things that may hurt you. It's okay to cry anytime. I used to cry for no reason all the time, but it made me feel better. So if you feel like you want to cry, then cry. Don't worry about how stupid or silly it is. Just release your inner-feelings.
