This too shall pass, as rough as this may seem this too shall pass. > After my freshman year goes by we are forced to move to San Antonio sadly. A move is tough, you aren’t alone. It is really emotionally tough when you are in school. > People start to mock me and make fun of me for what I do cant control. It is hard to understand why people do some the things they do. I don’t have any solid advice for the mockery because it’s just despicable behavior. But if people are mocking it right in front of your face a good thing to do is to act indifferent to their behavior. If they’re making fun of your stutter you got to wonder what other disabilities are they going to make fun of too. Another tactic you can consider is yawning. It is another form of indifference. > One day I was talking to my friend and her friend whom i have just met asked me if i was cold because i was stuttering. People don’t understand your disability with the depth you do. As old as the cold bit gets that would’ve been a good time to explain to your new friend that you stutter. It is hard. Sometimes it would feel better to just not say anything and stutter. But actually telling people that you stutter lets them know it is a part of you and it allows you to own the situation. > My friends are real supportive of me but none of them understand what im going through. I’m not a 100 percent on what you mean by them understanding what you’re going through. So I am going to guess. A good way to help them understand is to explain what it’s like to stutter. How it follows you everywhere. How sometimes it can feel like a heaviness. They clearly won’t get the full stutterer experience but telling them a little bit can help.
