A bad emotion-sadness
Everyone gets sad. Some people have sad feelings just once in a while, and others may have sad feelings pretty often. More than half of teenagers go through a sad period at least once a month and plenty of younger kids do, too. Sadness is a feeling. I don't think it is a good emotion. Sadness means when people have lost something important, or when they have been disappointed about something, or when something sad has happened to them or to someone else. You must be sad when you hear the death of a relative, friend or pet. Or you move to a new town, or your parents get divorced, or someone you really like don't want to be friends with you. Besides, people often feel sad when they are lonely. When you're sad, the world may seem dark and unfriendly. You might feel like you have nothing to look forward to. Sadness makes you cry, and sometimes the tears are hard to stop. For instance, I shedding tears when I was really really sad. Crying often makes you feel better. Sometimes when your mood is sad, you just feel like being alone for a little while. Or you might want someone to comfort you or just keep company while you go through the sad feeling. Talking about what has made you sad usually helps the sad feeling melt away.
