I'm in the same boat brother, I was always the one who would sit at the back of the class (in the corner) and try hide behind the people in front of me so I would not get asked a question. I always dreaded the first day of school where everyone introduces them selves, Year 8 in woodwork we all gathered around a bench and each said our names. I could feel my nerves building up and up as each person say's their name it was like a firing line, every name said was a shot fired. When it came down to me I stuttered saying "Ashley", all i could hear was laughter from the other guys. I suffered a lot in school! I've been stuttering ever since I can remember, I'm now 21 and I still get nervous taking to people I dont know because flashbacks like that one ^^^
