Answer: You have to stick up your youself
Explanation:
When reading this story I kinda giggled but then felt sorry. You have to tell people that is was not on purpose and if the keep messing with you you have to get up and hit that person where it hurts really badly and tell them to LEAVE YOU THE H ALONE or you'll kick them again. ( You might get in trouble for this but do it any way stick up for yourself.)
The function of the gerund phrase <em>crying about our problems </em>in this sentence is that of a subject of the sentence. Who/what will not solve problems? Crying about them.
I think the answer is capitulation.
