An 13 y.o student perfectly handled my stuttering better than a teacher Im an adult now, i just want to free my chest for this horrible memory, I was reading one of Juha's jokes aloud in a nervous, broken, and stuttering voice. Only one student laughed at the joke after I finished. The teacher said I ruined the joke. This was a mean, dump way to handle my stuttering, I totally believed that im a horrible talker. She destroyed the little drop of hope from that one student who considered my feelings. See how being adult doesn’t automatically make you better at handling sensitive conditions? My stuttering was so much complicated especially through the same year, my tongue became frozen and i can only manage to say one word or not at all through reading classes. I was so ashamed of myself… thanks to the same teacher and thanks to many teachers that forced me to read in every class. I thought they were right and im just a ** wasting the class time. I was on my own in my class during same year so I don’t totally blame the teachers because of my social anxiety.
