I'm 12 and a girl. I've been crying at random times all week, and I'm not even sad. I'll end up running to the bathroom so no one will see me crying. All my friends are worried, and nothing is wrong besides the fact I'm crying so much. Am I just a wimp?
Why do I cry at random times, even when I'm not sad?

You are sad. Deep inside you there is something making you sad. maybe you did something that made you fell guilty and that guilt is making you cry, maybe you did something to someone (hurt him) or you hearted yourself undirectly (breaking up with someone you love him made you blame yourself). Maybe you lost someone and your unconsious mind remember him the thing that make cry without knowing the reason or maybe you have a probleme you could not solve and you feel like you are weak and you can't do anything. The point is that there are a lot of reasons, just lay down on your bed and think.
I disagree with the first reply. You are around the age for the onset of puberty; this brings hormonal changes which can cause your emotions to fluctuate, often irrationally. This is unlikely to be a long-term thing, simply your body making adjustments which affects you psychologically or emotionally like is common for almost every teenager. It's still tough, for sure. Don't be shy to discuss it with your parents, they will know better than your friends, who will tend to dramatise things they don't understand. Don't let anyone talk you into taking medication for it though, that's completely unnecessary.
