I understand your feelings and I’m sure other people feel the same way. Personally, my experience with stuttering has created unbearable anger within me. I feel like society has taught me that I’m not able to succeed and function like everyone else. It’s taught me that people pity me or laugh at me but will never truly respect me or see me as a “normal” human being. Whenever someone laughs at my stutter or tells me “I’m brave” for just talking, I just want to respond with violence. The bully represents everyone who has ostracized me and chosen to not see me as equal. For me, the final scene is a satisfying avengeance to my current self as well as my younger self who mourn the respect and life I could’ve had. This story isn’t necessarily about being the bigger person, it’s about how stuttering can really mess up your mental health.
