Is it normal for parents to say i can't cry?

Yesterday my brother was bullying me and caused me to become extremely upset that I started crying. My parents (who thought they were making things better) told him that he was wrong but I was also wrong for crying about it. Does this even make any sense? It is wrong to cry? It's wrong to show emotions??? The thing that made me even more upset was that my brother didn't even apologize and my parents didn't do anything other than criticize me. They said I was crazy for thinking this way (that I could cry) and said it wouldn't help me in society! But the thing is, if it was a stranger I couldn't care less but this my family that is talking to me this way. They hurt my self-esteem and make me so depressed. I feel like I have no one in this world. Not to mention when they were criticizing me they were YELLING at me...also even though my brother would use force and point at me with his finger and use his strength to push me around it feels like they don't care! They say they do but the way they talk to me makes it feel like I'm the weird one in the room and I shouldn't be upset by this, but I am upset and it made me even more upset when my parents intervened. They didn't even teach my brother why it was wrong and that he shouldn't do that to me. (Seriously, I've done nothing wrong to him whatsoever but he just goes up to me and starts putting me down!) :(
