An eye-catching headline

This late morning when I woke up, I walked to the kitchen and saw today's Straits Times on the dining table. The headline of the Home section read:

JC student kills himself, convinced his private parts were too small

I almost fainted.

In this era, are youngsters too bothered by their physical appearances that they have to commit suicide? The student got to be too sensitive. His doctor said his size is normal for an Asian, his girlfriend and family gave him support. Why must he still jump off the block?

He is already in J2 in one of the top junior colleges in Singapore, and he took S-Papers, but he still seem to be very narrow-minded about such issues! The State Coroner blamed on the fact that the sex education which this student have been through is insufficient, which I think could be a reason. I don't remember learning that having a small penis is normal. Well, whatever.

The boy wrote in his suicide note that he jumped not because of stress of his studies, but because of his physical development, and still insisted there was something wrong down there.

The thing is, everyone wears clothes when they're outside, how can anyone really judge the sizes of their private parts? Moreover, even if he worries that his future partner will mind his small pte part, I think she should love him for who he is and not care, as long as he is fertile or whatsoever (I don't wish to elaborate on the 'feeling' part, if you understand).

Please, girls' breasts are more obvious to eyes whether they're big or small, shouldn't girls be more conscious? I don't think in Singapore there are girls who will commit suicide just because they have small tits!

Goodness.

Yes, they can always blow up their boobs and I never heard of any surgery to - well - grow that part. A guy may have a huge *coughs* but he may be infertile or he may have a problem erecting. Isn't this as bad?

Dear friends, if you feel that you're not well-endowed in any part of your body, please don't fret too much, don't be silly! You don't have to kill yourself because of this! I will not want to lose a friend due to reasons like this! Sympathy for the boy's family and girlfriend, but I seriously think that this whole thing is...quite dumb.

This marks my 200th post~

if it's as small as his pinkie then the doctor will surely say his size is rather small also ma...the doc already said his size is normal for an asian. unless he jumped cos he's depressed he's an asian!
