Hey, I am a chef and believe me have tried many different ways to stop this as I have very sensitive eyes and just looking at onions just about makes me start to cry!.
The best thing that I have found is just do it in a well ventilated area like by an open window!. As for cutting use a sharp knife!.
I have heard some strange ones like submerge onions in water to peel!.
I have also noticed that for some reason some onions seem a lot more harsh than others!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

breathe through your mouth and if range hood or exhaust is avaliable, peel the onion facing the fan so the tear causing properties of the onion are drawn away from you!. Usually cutting onions may cause tears, after peeling the onion soak in cold water (overnight if you have time)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Onions make you cry because:
When you cut them, they release an enzyme!.
That enzyme reacts in the rest of the onion to release a gas!.
When that gas combines with water, it creates an acid!.
If that water is in your eye, you have acid in your eye!. That makes you cry!.
To stop yourself from crying, soak onions in water half an hour before you cut them and you'll have no tears!

I was told to put a piece of bread or a cracker in your mouth!. That is supposed to create salivation in your mouth and is a distraction!.!. I'm not sure if it works!. I usually buy Vidalia onions and they don't seem to be as offensive!.
Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I cut it half leaving half the root on each half of the onion if that makes sense! I've also heard that putting a slice of bread or a metal spoon between your teeth while your chopping helps!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
stick them in the freezer before you need to peel them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I don't stick my face over the onion when I cut it, And i remind myself big boys don't cry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
