There are many of us here who have similar stories to tell. You are far from being alone.

Welcome, and good luck.

It's good to know im not alone in this i appreciate all the support!
now all i have to is save up the money(no problem)
and telling my family(close to impossible)
i wonder if i can get away with doing this whole thing on my own...

[helloHELLO]

im not gonna lie...it was real hard for me to tell my parents. and even after i told them i felt like they thought i was using it as an excuse for other stuff.
i dont know if its because of the gyne (pretty sure it is) but i RARELY open up to people. especially my family. during family events i'm always the outcast. i'll socialize and all that with them but i always seem to be by myself most of the time.  and i can never tell someone that i have a problem.  sometimes i rather fail than tell someone i need help.  unfortunately this characteristic followed its way into my school life.

i was actually smiling when i read PAINFULYOUTH'S post because i was just thinkin about making a new post about people keeping their feelings to themselves.  i'll probably still make the post later in the week

In our family only my brother knows this.
Keep in touch..

I dont need my parents for the financial support but for regurlar support it would be amazing to know that they understand what im going through but then again that's asking too much from them. Since im grown up now i find myself in the real world where my parents dont pay for anything i need and that any problem i have is my own! My parents are just like that! I've come close to telling them but they are too occupied with their own issues to notice whats wrong with me!
I do think that having gyne stops me from being concentrated on certain things like school!
i've been putting school, my career and my friends aside  because i honestly  cant focus when i know so many things are going wrong with me! I have so many goals and dreams that are in the palm of my hands and yet i cant achieve any of them because of gyne.
I'm the only one among my friends and close family who has not completed my high school and im 19.
they always ask me why...why can't you stay focused...why can't you be serious!
If only they knew it would probably blow their mind! But i know my environement too well they would tell me its all my imagination it will go away if you exercise!(yeah right i think we all heard that one...)

hopefully ill be able to go get the surgery on my own and deal with the emotional stress on my own...
so far i've been doing everything on my own so this should not be a problem!

Im glad i found support here! thanks guys!

i told my parents in hope that they would understand why life was so stressful for me and how i couldnt take feeling like a freak anymore.  i think they are starting to put the pieces together and realise how big of a burden this was for me.  i had a severe case too

when i first told them they instantly got mad that i waited this long to tell them about it, after it had negatively affected me on other stuff.  but then i think they remembered that we never had that relationship where i can tell them my poblems and feelings. we rarely talk. and anytime me and my parents are together (out to eat, in the car, etc...i) im always quiet. it took me a forced family vacation to the dominican republic (where i did not swim once and only left the room to go to the gym) to realise i cant live with gyne anymore.

i remember back in high school i would always wear my jacket or a hoody to camouflage my breast and one time during a parent teacher conference the teacher was telling my parents how i never take my jacket off and just sit there.  my parents started yelling at me, telling me to take my jacket off in class because i look like i dont care about anything. they looked at me like i was some sort of freakish loser.

i could never ask the teacher to explain something i didnt get because i just never wanted all the attention on me. my parents would get mad at me about that toobut they just couldnt understand.  unfortunately this has turned into a bad habbit that i need to break

I also lost a girl cause of this crap. The sad part was that she noticed my pain and tried to comfort me but I just threw that thought to the side because my mind was so focused on the gyne.
I remember during summer school, I sat down at a bench by myself(i always isolated myself), and she came and sat on the bench directly across from me by herself. I felt so many emotions right then cause I never had someone I barely knew care about me like that.
She was one of the most beautiful girls in my high school and I lost her cause I couldn't get passed the gyne. I guess I took things for granted because alot of people cared about me back then but I always shut them out.  Now that Im older, I see how important those relationships back then were because its definitely hard to build a relationship like the ones in high school. Its just not the same now as an adult. Almost seems like no one really cares about you because everyone is so focused on working and leading their own lives.
Its funny cause I ran into an old friend and he confirmed to me that this girl was crazy about me.
Sometimes I think that if I never had gyne, I might be with her right now...
I haven't seen her since but I at least want to thank her for what she did.

hey man, you take longer breaks from this board than i do   

gawd, if my gf were still alive, this gyne sure as hell wouldn't stand in the way for an instant.  this is the age of the INTERNET, man, hunt her down and see if she's free.  if you have to pay $15 for some online public records database, do it

my worst experience is where all my mates found out in year 7 and until about a year ago used to call me big nips n all that having jokes like saying stuff like wow he has bigger nips than your girlfriend mate thinking that i could take the joke until they found out it upsets me because i punched a lad for saying it lol.Anyway now i had surgery on friday and still bit painful and bit swollen but cant wait till i see the final results.But i cant believe how common it is like alot of my mates have it but no one ever talks about it so it feels like its just you.

Yeah, that's the sad part about G, too many boys/men suffer in silence.

However, now with the power of the Net, many sufferers can get good advice on the topic. And... come to realize that 'they' are not alone with this condition...
