Perhaps it's not a good reason to be happy, but when you're 12 you want to "fit" in.
I can relate to this. In France where only jews are circumcised (perhaps muslims too but there were none in my school) I was the different one in the locker room. Also, I know a guy here whose mother is jewish and was hiding during WW2. She chose not to have him circumcised in case history repeats himself. Laurent
