Dear Ann Landers,
ur son is 12 and of normal weight and height. But I am concerned about his genitals. They are still the size of a tod-dler's. His 6-year-old brother is larger than he is. "Ed's" gym instructor says that he takes a lot of kidding. I have taken this boy to a pediatrician and an endocrinologist. They both laughed the matter off and said, "Don't worry, Mom, he'll have plenty of girlfriends." I don't appreciate that kind of response. It seems to me that a joke is being made of something that is very serious. I am deeply concerned, Ann. This boy's self-esteem is low enough without being ridiculed about his manhood. Furthermore, I know how important it is to be able to have a satisfying sexual relationship. Ed is a sensitive child, and I really do worry that this problem may ruin his life. I don't know who to talk to about this now that two doc-tors have laughed about it and made me feel foolish. Can you help? -No Name in Illinois
