While scrolling through my Facebook feed, I noticed a couple airing their dirty laundry all over social media. Apparently, the boy dumped the girl because she cried over stupid things. I was unsure what to think about that, because I cry all the time. Most of the time when I cry it is over incredibly dumb things. This poor boy has no idea what is going to hit him when he attempts to date any woman. Not all, but a good majority of girls cry for no reason all of the time. I decided to compile a list of reasons girls cry, and the answers are just as amazing as I thought they would be.

Sorry Fergie, big girls do cry. We cry a lot, but at least we know that we aren't alone in our tears.
