What are you gonna do if it continues? Kick him out of the house? Beat the shite out of him?
Rest assured, based on OP's posts in this thread and the fact he even brought this to the OT to begin with, the kid has already been beaten.
Sad situation here. We of the OT have seen plenty of threads about parents and struggles they've had with their kids. 99% of the time you can tell from the words of the parent that they're coming from a place of real love.
This a-hole? His posts give off nothing but the feeling of shame. fricking sad, man.

Have you tried to all gang up on him and physically beat it out of him. Seems like the next logical step on your family’s road to emotional destruction of your kid.

This has to be some kind of a joke by the op.
If not…I really feel for the kid.
If you haven't laughed at your kid for wailing about something absurd, then you either have no kids or have definitely killed a hobo at some point.

Your son showed some emotion and instead of helping him understand that emotion and how to deal with it you made fun of him and then told him no one respects people who have feelings? And then as he grew up you got more aggressive with the demand that he not show feelings he naturally has.
He’s a kid. He’s learning and developing. He doesn’t have feelings on purpose and he’s probably confused and scared about why everytime he has a feeling his entire family attacks him for it.
He’s just a kid. And you’re a monster.

Sounds like he might be a perfectionist in the making but at his age has not yet learned how to deal with the frustrations of falling short.
IMO this will turn out very bad or very good. Probably depends on how you guide his reactions.
He will likely end up very driven and thus successful or could give up and become a nihilists.
No pressure.

Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Patience, focus, confidence, and strength are what they do. They will also keep tabs on him at school as well. We joke about Ed Hardy Lafayette baws at the metric for all things BJJ, but it’s really a very good life building sport with personal accountability.

Whelp- i see where your son gets his irrational responses -
My advice- recall how you were raised and do the exact opposite bc you turned out to be an idiot Dick

None of my kids have this issue except one. He cries over every injury and every frustration, from breaking a cheap stocking stuffer toy to not being able to fly his drone just right, to drawing a picture and it doesn't look right, to you fricking name it. This is not learned behavior. We don't coddle or encourage it. It pisses me, his mother and all of his siblings off and we've tried everything, from ignoring it, to laughing at it, to talking about how you lose people's respect when reacting like that, etc. I wrestled and so did his older siblings, so I put him in wrestling to toughen him up but we're in year 3 and no improvement.

Just call him a puss and move on

For God’s sake, deemphasize this and don’t sacrifice your relationship. If he feels like you have contempt for him then a vicious downward spiral could ensue. He needs extra attention and support, not contempt and estrangement.
Continue to negatively support the whining, but make up for it with a lot of positive enforcement. His peers will provide the corrective force necessary. When they do he will need the confidence of his relationship with his father. Good luck!

Everything you named here is negative reinforcement. This likely is not an action for your son to respond to. You need to try positive reinforcement. Specifically start with something very small that you think he can “win” at with the right response and “reward” hun with the right behavior. Reward can Even just mean praise or a hug.
