You *have to* endure and you *have to* push yourself each time further and further. And you will get there eventually, you just need to focus and find your specific way how to get rid of it. As I mentioned in my earlier post [here](http://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/207nu6/how_do_i_even_live_life/cg0kpxg), there are ways to overcome the debilitating stutter and finally feel that you need to worry about something else than how idiotic you'll look during your presentation in school. I sincerely appreciate this subreddit because it makes us realize that those feelings and behavior we are facing every day is not unique. Everyone of us was desperate, humiliated and tried to escape through isolation, internet or even drugs or alcohol. You just have to realise that there is no general way to "cure" (and I hate to use this word because it's not a disease) your stutter. You have to truly focus on yourself and discover some things about you that will help to overcome it. I really deeply appreciated every single positive post about stuttering because being positive really is huge step forward. I truly hope everyone of you will get better and I *know* that everyone else who is reading this is wishing for the else the same. There is no general advice I can tell you, just stay positive and focus on yourself. And do not belive people when they tell you that it is too late for you to not stutter anymore. It's just laughably not true.
