Is it normal to cry as a 15 year old guy?

All my life I have been a very emotional kid. I feel like my emotional control has gone down the drain. I have dealt with some pretty emotional situations; for example, over half of my family has either died or left in the past 5 years. I thought I had become pretty good with my emotions in till less than an hour ago. My dad came to get me for the weekend(parents are divorced) and my parents started this huge argument which they involved me in, not 5 minutes into it is swear they had said every known cussword, and I just broke down. I started balling my eyes out because I felt the argument was my fault. Is stuff like this normal? Any advice?

    Aww don't worry hon. That's normal. I am 15 also. Although I am a girl. Teenagers tend to be emotional. It's not a bad thing. You are still a growing guy and U experience emotional times. It's okay:) it happens to every teenager no matter how much they try to hide it! Don't worry about a thing!;)

    you are extremely sensitive, and that is not a bad thing as long as you learn how to control your emotions a bit. I can understand why you broke down during your parents argument. shame on them for making you feel that their argument was your fault. it wasn't. is it normal, yeah, sadly it is. parents do involve their kids in fights, and some do as yours did, try to blame the kid for the entire mess which really had nothing whatsoever to do with the kid. anyways, I digress. if your emotional state is such that it is bothersome to you, or interferes with you living your normal life, then I strongly suggest you seek some therapy and/or counseling. they will help you understand yourself, and understand your emotions so that you can control them rather than the other way around. if you can't, or won't, seek help, there are quite a few things on line that can help, google emotions, or emotional stress among others to get a handle on what is going on with you. let me end by saying you are fine. nothing at all wrong with you. you simply need some help with priorities and emotions.

    Aww how sad. Sometimes the only way to release yourself is to cry. Try to have someone with you when you think you're going to cry to hug and comfort you. Maybe another relation, girlfriend or trusted mate.

    I'm 16 and a few months ago my grandmother died. I still cry, and that was back in October.
