I'n not sure what the down votes. Seems like change of venues is great suggestion.

In case you're serious, it's because "do not be a crybaby" is not an appropriate response to someone suffering from mental issues.

If you said to me "Hey, I cut my hand really badly, and I'm bleeding quite seriously. What should I do?" it wouldn't be correct to say "do not be a crybaby." The right answer is "Go to the hospital and get some stitches."

It's the same with mental issues. They're a wound like any other.

Do you have data on that? That that is not helpful.

My parents said it to me and we say it among friends, there are even burger commercials saying same thing.

Maybe that is the thing to say. Change venue and toughen up.

I doubt it will help, but just on the off chance that it does, you should read these:

Here is my data: http://www.wikihow.com/Toughen-up-Emotionally

i don't think you know what the word "data" means. of course, that's beside the point.
