It's not so much as you being upset in general it's that they want you to talk and tell them about it and not hide it.
Sometimes it's to try and "turn the tides" in a fight and make you feel bad. It could also be because when your upset you may say or do things that make them upset.
because they could be upset or mad
Because women have this thing for not liking men from keeping secrets from them, however, when it's the other way around, they sort of laugh at it and continue to not tell you. So... I would tell her because we don't seem to win.
Why would you even want them to trample you? I wouldn't get them mad if i were you. Girls can be evil.
Perhaps she is afraid her parents will be mad or that the person she is lying to will be upset about her being pregnant.
Being Angry or mad, is twords someone else. being upset is twords yourself. Other than that, they are the same concept, it is just a matter of who it is directed twords.
