Just Need Some Advice I’m 15 yo and I have a stutter. I’ve had it my entire life. If you’re born with it, it likely stops on its own by the age of 5 so I’m pretty sure I’m stuck with it for a while lol. Ig im not looking for advice, but just encouragement. I’m not trying to get attention i just don’t know anyone who stutters and need advice. When I talk, kids AND adults see to laugh at me. The adults are supposed to be the mature ones and it’s just so dumb to me how uneducated these people are. I literally have to hold back tears for the next couple of hours, bc I’m one of those people, even tho I’m not proud of it and try not to be, but I let 1 thing ruin my day. What hurts the most is when my closest a friends who know I’m insecure about it say smth. When someone say something about my stutter and I know they know I can’t control it, I’m literally just done with that person. I just don’t know what to do. It doesn’t seem that there is anything I can do lol. My FAMILY laughs at me which Ik is wrong but idk what to do. So…? Can someone just say something so I feel heard. I’m sorry for wasting peoples time i just need to hear something from someone.
