Will my stutter ever go away ? I had a stutter my whole life tbh wasn’t really that bad or I don’t know maybe I didn’t care when I was young it actually went away in grade 5 6 and 7 and Nobody even noticed it But then came back in grade 8 didn’t really care that much but in grade 9 and 10 it’s still here like it just pisses me off I can’t say my name out loud in class and barely read but when I talk to classmates friends teacher it’s cool people in school and friends don’t even know I have a stutter I hide it but when someone asks me about my name or tells me to read I get scared to the point where I hear my heart pumping I end up saying I’m ( name ) or saying my name is ( name ) it helps idk why im now 16.5 years old just scared of the thought that it will never go away
