Teenagers are naturally emotional, and adolescence is a difficult time for many. That being said, frequent crying spells, especially over a long period of time, are a sign of depression. If your son has this, he should probably be evaluated by a psychiatrist.

I would call his doctor and ask for advice, it could be depression or a chemical imbalance and this isn't something you want to wait to find out.

This depends on what he's crying about. If he lost his girlfriend, its okay. If he's crying cause someone called him names, well, seeing a counselor couldn't hurt. Evaluate the why first though.

Adolescence is a difficult time in anyone's life, both physcially and emotionally. The best thing you can do is offer comfort and support him, while trying to decipher what exactly is bothering him. But yes, if it does seem excessive, counseling might be a good idea.
