I'm 32 and a life long stutterer. Back when I was your age is when my stutter was at its worst. I thought I was going to be like that forever. I would go weeks at school without speaking to anyone. I was constantly made fun of and even had my best friend call me "stutter-boy" for no fucking reason. What a bitch. Anyway, I started to "grow out" of my stutter as I matured in to adulthood. I still have my bad days, but it's nothing like what it was (I still can't say "delivery" on the phone. Fuck that word.). Even when I was still stuttering consistently, I landed girlfriends and a job as a dishwasher at a restaurant. Now I have a job where I answer phones and interact with the public on a daily basis. For some reason I have a HARDER TIME getting a girlfriend NOW than when I stuttered... Go figure. 17 years of age is a little early to start considering ending your life because you figure that the rest of your 60+ years will be just as they are now. Work on it, seek speech therapy, or just simply WAIT for your brain to figure its shit out. Shit gets better- it does. Stuttering sucks- but there are so many worse things in this world.
