Not so much eleven-year-old boys, I don't think, which is why I'm mad at myself about this. If I were an eleven-year-old Japanese boy - with all the crappy Culturally-Instilled Ideas About Masculinity that that entails - and I ended up crying in front of some younger boys, I think I'd feel pretty humiliated by the whole thing. I just got too upset when he shoved me, and I messed up.
