Crying at school?

[Pulp501]

My mom just passed away, and I know I can't just not go to school. I'm afraid while I'm there I might break down and cry. Is this okay? What would you think if you saw it? I don't want to cause a scene or anything.

It might be a good idea to take some time off for bereavement. And I can't imagine anyone having a problem with you breaking down under the circumstances. "What's his problem?" "His mom just died" "Oh I understand, never mind".

I wouldn't go to school for now. What's the use of it? You won't be able to focus on the lessons anyways. Surely your teachers would understand. If they don't, get another family member to make them understand.

I tried to go back in too early just after my brother died but definitely wasnt worth it
take some time out and if you need someone to talk to then just holler

I would take some time off, should be okay, right? I mean I wouldn't mind if someone at school cried because a parent died, but there are so many idiots out there that could give you a hard time because of it. It's not worth it, so stay home till you feel a bit better and can control yourself.

Well, I wanted to go to school to be with friends. I'm also on the brink of failing, so I literally can't afford to miss much school.

Don't feel pressured to be at school. It is important but you can have a break from it. Can you text your freinds to talk with them?

I have cried at school before and I tried my best to hide it.

I kind of need a hug, texting isn't the same. I really might not do work, and can always go home early. I think I'm going go.

You deserve many hugs. Do what is comfortable, going home early is fine. *hug*

Thanks for the virtual one <3.

I spread love where I can, and you deserve it.

I had to take time off for when my grandmother died. My mother is all I have and I know that loss is tough. I cannot fathom the pain you feel but I recommend taking time off for bereavement, it is allowed and necessary. Your heart is hurt, let it heal. I'll keep you in my prayers. This is so sad. My uncle died not too long ago, I never knew him well but I handle death hard, it was tough seeing the pain. I extend my love and a hug.

Take some time off from school, just relax a bit and go back when your ready, i'm sure your teachers are going to be fully understanding. Hope your doing ok. ;)

Do what makes you feel more comfortable, personally I'd take a couple of days until I were able to get over it

Honestly, it's healthy to cry if you're feeling sad, and when someone who I assume was very close to you dies, it's understandable that you'll feel the urge to cry.

I cried at school when my grandma died, and my friends comforted me, and a teacher made sure I was okay.

Those who make fun of you for crying are doing so because they have issues in their life and need to make fun of others.

Sad to see other people going through this as well. My mother died when I was about 15. At that point though school wasn't really important, and she died a bit before summer break finished, so that left a few days free to not have to go to school.
Cry all you want, honestly, it's probably the best thing for it. I only cried on the day that she died, I don't really cry much at all really. Going back to school wasn't that hard for me, I used it more as a distraction and just kept on going. I understand wanting to be around friends and that would likely also help as well. You may be different but if someone was making fun of me or something for crying about that I wouldn't hesitate to punch them in their face. That being said, it takes someone pretty fucked up to make fun of someone mourning a loss like that, so I don't think the chances of it happening are high.
It depends on how many people know as to how they will react in the end, and it's your choice who you tell and whatnot but who really gives a shit. You're allowed it cry, it doesn't make you weak and other people can bugger off if they've got a problem with it.
