Is it normal to cry on the first day of school?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes—crying on the first day of school is completely normal, whether you’re a kid or an adult. A new routine, unfamiliar people, and big feelings can all bring tears.
First days can feel like a lot: new faces, new expectations, and a change to the routine you know. You might cry because you’re nervous, overwhelmed, excited, or even just relieved after holding it together. Sometimes it all comes out at once.
