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."
no, he wasn't well hung.
chinese women generally where thimbles, not a cups.
Chaka Khan?
I think his problems ran a little deeper than just a little dipper. :)
It was cold.
Chaka Zulu he's more famously known as.
I retain four female bodybuilders and a team of Clydesdales just to move it around for me.
In a related story, sex education will now include show and tell.
Hmm. Wonder why his parents didn't name him? Maybe they didn't own any silverware.
And I thought it is bad to be "Hung like a Baby".....13 inches and 8 1/2 pounds......LOL
You guys talk about your big sizes...I am comfortable to say that I am only 8...........pounds!!
the water was cold and deep.
Almost crashed my car listening to the book on tape version when he got to the one about the clowns.
"I was in the pool! I was in the pool!"
The teenager, who was not named, jumped from a building on March 3....and everyone knew exactly who teeny-peeny was, despite the fact that he was not named.
What size body bag did the coroner have to use? Extra small?
Okay, I'll quit now.
I've only got a two inch -- but some like it that wide.
They were ashamed of his, whoops, I said I'd stop.
Instead of a foreskin, he only had a one skin.
Okay, I really mean it, I'm gonna stop.
