You’re not alone — this actually happens to a lot of people around your age. Yes, speech therapy can help, especially since this started recently and you didn’t stutter before. Blocking is common and very treatable when you catch it early. There’s nothing “wrong” with you, and it’s not your fault. You should tell your parents. You can keep it simple: “I’ve been getting stuck while talking and it’s bothering me. Can I see a speech therapist?” A few things that may help in the meantime (not a cure, just support): * Slow your breathing before speaking * Start words gently instead of forcing them out * Don’t rush or try to fight the stutter — pressure makes it worse Avoid advice like “just relax” or “think positive.” If it were that easy, stuttering wouldn’t be a thing.
