It is perfectly normal to feel the way you do. Do your friends know you stutter? Sometimes people just don't realize it although it seems obvious. Perhaps you can talk to a few of them about it, perhaps tell them of the celebrities who stutter. Pick a celebrity they would be impressed with.

With your parents help, perhaps you can work out a few things to say to one, two or more kids that is age appropriate for them. The laughter can be nervousness for some and they just do not know what to do next. Although, there are some bullies out there. But I'm sure there are a few good kids in the bunch. You have a right to speak in the conversation too. And it's good practice.
