An 18-year-old Singaporean student committed suicide last month because he was convinced his penis was too small, a report said on Wednesday.
State Coroner Tan Boon Heng said the case highlighted the importance of sex education in schools and recommended the details be forwarded to the education ministry, the Straits Times reported.
The teenager, who was not named, jumped from a building on March 3. A suicide note explained why, an investigation to determine the cause of death said.
"He said it was not due to the stress of his examination, but it was more about his physical development... He still knew there was something wrong with his body parts," said the report quoted by the newspaper.
It said the teenager had confided in his mother in October 2005 that he was worried about the size of his penis. She took him to a clinic where a doctor said it was normal for an Asian man and prescribed multi-vitamins.
State Coroner Tan said the boy's case showed that even in the age of the Internet when information can be easily obtained, "the less informed also become victims to junk information and worse, untruths."
Psychiatrist Daniel Fung, deputy chief of the child and adolescent department at the Institute of Mental Health, said the teenager might have been suffering from depression.
"It might be more about depression than his private parts being too small," Fung told AFP.
"Sometimes depression can lead to delusions about how you look and how you are. It makes you see things from a dark perspective."
And to think they could have fixed that problem....I read about it in the back of a magazine...
Is Max on suicide watch?
Also found at the scene a pair of crusty padded tweezers and a magnifying glass.
That's got to be real bad to whack yourself over the size of your tool.
LOL!
We said he WAS one, not had one.

OMG. Am I going to hell for laughing at this?
I've gotten all kinds of e-mails about how you can do that.
And I don't even have that...errr....concern.
But....but....but, didn't this kid ever get emails about penis enlargement or see the Enzyte commercial with Smilin' Bob?
Well, if you are, I'll see you there. ;-)
Maybe it was detatchable and he couldn't find it.
Well, if it works for YOU, then let us know. Freepers will be signing up. ;o)
I don't WANT one of those! ;-P
Not your own, anyway, right?
Sure, sure...
I get spam about it all the time.
My spam filter works well...fortuantely. LOL
My mind is blank. I can't think of the puns.
Incidentally, I told ten different puns to people to see if any of them were funny enough to make people laugh.
No pun in ten did.
This is horrible thing to happen, but there's a case in history where another man, constantly berated and picked on by his peers, ended up becoming the King of his People. Exacting his revenge on those who berated and ridiculed him, he killed most if not all of them. He ended up creating the most powerful Empire ever seen on the continent of Africa.
His name was Chaka
(not meaning that was the only thing that caused it, but it was a contributing factor. he was born with a stumped penis evidently)
And I get a lot of emails on that too!
LOL - yes, I guess I should have clarified that.
