singapore-HE WAS a second-year student at a top junior college, a member of the school volleyball team, a cheerful and energetic boy who was doing well enough in his studies to take Special Papers.
Yet on March 3 this year, the 18-year-old jumped to his death from a Bedok housing block, because he was convinced his private parts were too small.
Delivering a verdict of suicide on Tuesday, State Coroner Tan Boon Heng was sufficiently concerned by this “tragedy of misinformation” to recommend that the case be forwarded to the Ministry of Education (MOE).
“The importance of sex education to our young people in schools cannot be over-emphasised,” he wrote.
“The case study is useful for relevant MOE officers to appreciate the problem of the severity of misinformation even among the best and brightest in our schools.”
The boy, who cannot be named, had confided in his mother in October last year that he was worried his penis was too small.
She took him to a neighbourhood clinic, where the doctor told him his penis was of a normal size for an Asian man, and prescribed him multivitamins.
Despite strong emotional support from his girlfriend and his mother, he remained convinced he had a problem. He also had a history of being stressed over schoolwork.
In January, he told his mother that his life was “boring and meaningless” and that the only thing stopping him from suicide was his family's love.
On March 3, after his usual volleyball practice, he took a bus from school to the Bedok interchange, but did not take his usual connecting bus home. When his sister sent him a text message at around 7pm to ask if he was coming home for dinner, he replied that he would eat out.
The next and final message she received from him was at 8pm, telling her and their mother to take care.
They realised something was wrong, but he repeatedly failed to answer his phone.
He jumped from a housing block near the Bedok bus interchange at around 8.30pm.
He was semi-conscious when he was taken to Changi General Hospital, but was pronounced dead at 10.40pm from multiple injuries
this reminds me. one time in singapore, some guy die of penis cancer because he was too shy to show it to the doctors.

I don't know about you but the most disturbing thing in this whole afair is this line:
"The boy, who cannot be named, had confided in his mother in October last year that he was worried his penis was too small. "

Yes, but only because such a trite and pitiful (also sad) area of consideration and emphasis of importance had overcome his mind. And people wonder why I talk shit about breeders, and people all fucking excited about anything sex, like it's the biggest thing or even anything worthwhile. It is possibly the absolute worse thing to base the goal of life on, but what amazes, amuses, and sickens me is that all of you do. What the hell are you shitheads still living to look forward to? To fuck. You're fuck ing morons, literally.
In quite fact I find it funny when people do it and it extends to wanting a bigger penis, I mean, I want to wear pants SOMETIMES, how the fuck am I going to fit in mine or better ones if that goddamn size variation rod gets numbers added to those variables? I do kind of wish I was asian because at least then my nuts wouldn't get crushed and my fucking dick wouldn't hurt when it tried to fucking push through my underwear and my pants. But go ahead take the penis pills, bust out the pump, and pray to jesus if you think the goal will make you happy, meanwhile, I'm going to go make sure I don't get as retarded as you, ever.
>>7 Is it normal to go talk to your mom about your penis size?
Maybe, if you have a good relationship with your mom. Than you can talk to her about anything.
But this boy is just retarded:
"Despite strong emotional support from his girlfriend and his mother, he remained convinced he had a problem."
He had a girlfriend and a loving family and yet he committed suicide? How pathetic! He shoud have been happy with his girlfriend.
Anyway, size doesn't matter, girls who state that it does are all lying... or never saw an average penis IRL.
This boy was just hopeless... making such a big problem of it. Pathetic idiot. :(
I'm a boy but I NEVER compared my size with others and I was NEVER concerned about my size. I just laugh on those who worry about it. Unless you have a micropenis, you have no reason to worry.

"where the doctor told him his penis was of a normal size for an Asian man"
"A penis length of less than 1.9 centimeters is usually considered micropenis."
but this is a measurement taken as an infant. What sizes are considered micropenis for adults?

"...the doctor told him his penis was of a normal size for an Asian man, and prescribed him multivitamins."
1. If his penis was normal size, why did the doctor prescribe him multivitamins?
2. Why would he prescribe the multivitamins, anyway? As far as I know, vitamins don't make your pee pee bigger.
darwin wise, shouldn't the size of penises be getting bigger, I mean assuming that penis size is genetic(i've never seen a study either way, but it would be worth a laugh if anyone finds one PLEASE post it) women want men with larger penises, therfore small penised people don't get as much sex, or children as those with larger penises. so genes for large penises should carry on to the next generation more often, meaning more men with large penises.

I used to be depressed about my small penis 2. then i started fucking this 10y.o down the street and she really appreciated it. she said i didn't hurt her the way her father did and she finally enjoyed sex which she haddn't since she was six... so i figure small penises are a blessing, i wish i learned this years ago rather than in my 50's
Small penis size is indicated in orientals by tailgating behavior and in whites and other races by ownership of F-150s, and other light trucks and minivans.
They have to be aggressive to compensate for their inadequacy as human beings.
Suicide was the right thing to do, and more like him should follow in his footsteps.
You are right. Naruto should commit suicide as even Sai had mention that he had no penis at all.

A rumor was heard that "Chachi" is Korean for penis. This would mean that the 1970s sitcom "Joannie loves Chachi" could be interpreted as "Joannie loves penis".
