The other day I was doing some research on living with man
boobs and so, of course, was searching
the internet. It wasn’t too long until I
typed “can gynecomastia ruin my life” into the search engine and I found this
post on Yahoo! Answers.
”I have had them (man
boobs) for as long as I can remember I am 16 and a bit chubby here and there
not fat. But anyway my man boobs have bothered me my whole life! I could never
swim in public or around my friends and I really want to It is very
embarrassing! They look more like women boobs than man boobs they are very
feminine! What foods have lots of testosterone? and what has estrogen that I
can stop eating? I want feel good about myself”
This made me sad for a
couple of reasons. First, some of the
responses in the “answers” section were just down right mean. I understand that they might have been
written by kids but it’s just another example of the degradation of the American
youth, in my opinion. Besides, I’m pretty
sure that some of those answers came from mean adults.
The second reason is
that the kid is way off and he really just wants to lose his man boobs so he
can feel normal and not be embarrassed.
He asks “what foods have testosterone” and doesn’t even realize that no
food foods can help. Testosterone is a
hormone created by the body.
So, I didn’t have to go
far to find my answer to the title of this short blog post. Man boobs, gynecomastia, moobs, male breasts…whatever
you want to call it…can ruin a person’s life.
This kid is only 16 and he is already on the internet and asking
strangers how can fix a problem that causes him to not want to take his shirt
off and play at the beach or in a pool like a kid should. A kid should be able to do those things and
if he already can’t at that age, then it is ruining his life.
Just a short note on a
Friday night. Take care everyone.
