The right choice?

This isn't exactly easy for me to say, but I feel like I have to.

I'm 16 and I just found out what really happened to me. I was
circumcised, and yeah, my parents never bothered to tell me that or
tell me why they had it done, and I don't feel comfortable asking
them. Thanks to the internet I got to find out on my own.

I feel sooo violated and sooo angry at them. I honestly can't believe
they let someone do this to me. They actually let someone strap me
down when I was at my most defenseless and most vulnerable and rob me
of normal, functional genitalia. Why didn't they protect me? Why did
they betray me?

Maybe this doesn't matter to most of you, but it matters to me. The
vast majority of men in the world are intact and get to take their
normal, functional organs for granted, but because my parents didn't
give ****, mine got mutilated. I'll never ever get to experience it.
They denied me that, and for what?

I really don't trust them anymore. I have difficulty reconciling these
emotions. If they are my parents and they love me, why would they let
this happen to me? Were they ignorant? Or did they know full well what
they were doing and go ahead anyway to make me "look like daddy" like
I'm some ****ing piece of property instead of person? I honestly don't
know, and I'm not sure I want to.

Now I'm stuck this way for the rest of my life. Great. I'd really like
to forgive them, but I don't think I ever can.

I understand you all want what's best for your children and there's
lots of decisions you'll have to make for them, but this is certainly
not one of them. Please, please, please let him decide what he wants
to do with his body. He's only in your care for a few years, and if
you do this to him he will be STUCK THAT WAY FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE
and if he doesn't like it HE WILL HATE YOU!

The thought of another guy finding this out and having to feel the way
I do right now makes me sick. Please let your son choose!

Can you please take you anticircumsicm debate stuff the news groups who
care?

I doubt it. Mentally, perhaps (or less).

I don't think he'd appreciate it that you snipped his post.

Ok, I'm sorry, this probably should not have been crossposted to the
misc.kids.health group, but I'm just trying to warn current parents
and expecting parents not to do this and let their son decide.

Why does anyone who's ****ed off about being robbed part of their
penis get called a "troll" or "gay" or "skinfreak." Why are you all so
mean? I really really really feel bad about this and think I always
will.

Why should anyone else half to feel this way? I just don't understand
this. Help me here. Why?

I suggest, very gently, that you sign up on the restore-list at eskimo.com
(do a google search on 'restore-list'). You will find the support you seek
there. You won't find it on UseNet.

LOL! And when he's obviously without the means to make an intelligent
choice -- what a shame!

I have no problem. You're problem, on the other hand (the one that's NOT
already in your pants) seems to be a lack of something better to do than
troll the newsgroups with inflammatory nonsense.
