I'm 14 and have been stuttering for a while. In my experience, the best approach is to ignore the people who make fun of you. With over 8 billion people on this planet, what's the chance you'll see them again after this year? Why ruin your life based on someone else's opinion? Most people I’ve met are either supportive or indifferent. I understand how nerve-wracking presentations can be. Once, in eighth grade, I was presenting and shaking so violently that I ripped the script I was supposed to read from. But honestly, it’s mostly about your mindset. A few months later, during another presentation, I managed to calm myself down, and it worked—I felt good, and my speech went well. Time will pass whether you speak or not, and most people will forget that presentation within a day or so. So, just go for it. I also get the anxiety of reading aloud. I would count the seats to know which paragraph I'd have to read and try to predict the best moment to go to the restroom. It's helpful to talk to your teacher about your concerns; they usually understand. Even though I may be five years younger than you, we share similar experiences. Find something in life that you enjoy and focus on that. Just like a boat can't carry all the weight, no one can have everything. I often know the answers and want to correct people, but I can’t. However, I have other talents that they don't, and they have abilities that I lack. We all have our shortcomings. The future will happen whether you like it or not, so why waste your time worrying about something that is guaranteed? I know this isn't what you were looking for, but it's just some advice from one teen to another. (Also, I have some tips for presentations that really help: 1. About a week before your presentation, record yourself and listen to the playback. Write down what you stuttered on and any difficulties you noticed, like, “Eeeeeeconomy” (neck strain). Set a time limit for how long you want to speak at max. 2. Before the presentation, try Wimhof breathing to help calm your nerves.)
