You're not alone man. I'm currently 18 and all my life was shaped because of my stuttering. I start stuttering when I was... well, when I was born because I stuttered for a long ass time now, I don't even remember when I started. But anyway, like many other folks like us, school was hell on earth. The bullies weren't even a big deal, it was the frustration. The frustration that I had when I wanted to talk to a girl, or a guy, and I knew I was gonna stutter, so I didn't even try. The fact that I chose to stay lonely, because I was afraid people would mock me, or even reject me for my flaw. I'm not cured yet, I'm still working hard on it. Never give up man, don't let your stuttering win.
