How do I deal with high school? Hello fellow stutters (Not sure that is even a word) My name is Noah and i have stuttered all my life. My mother first noticed it when i was smaller and she thought I was memicing a cartoon character. She took me to the docter and they said that it would go away with age and after I learned how to speak better. So I enter into elementary school doing it and its no big deal to me because ive always done it. about 3rd or 4th grade rolls around and some of my teachers refer me to the in school speech pathologist. She was a kind lady who helped my cope with it and better it a little more. I graduated elementary school and moved on to middle school. my stutter increased a bit because of all the new people but it pretty much stayed at the same consistency because I had all my friends and i wasnt too scared of meeting new people. I am in no way shy at all by the way. anyways i was put into a speech class with another speech pathologist who helped me a lot more. Fast foward to 8th grade. my dad lost his job because of goverment reasons. he quickly finds another well paying job but only for 1 year. on the speech side of my life i "graduated" from speech thearpy because I could control it a lot better and it was very hard to tell that I am a person who stutters. My Freshman year goes on and nothing too eventful happens in my speech life and in my personal life. After my freshman year goes by we are forced to move to San Antonio sadly. This is where Shit hits the fan (pardon my french) As soon as I move all my speech skills go out the window. I start stuttering alot more and it becomes very noticable. People start to mock me and make fun of me for what I do cant control. One day I was talking to my friend and her friend whom i have just met asked me if i was cold because i was stuttering. My friends are real supportive of me but none of them understand what im going through. so thats why i wrote out my life story for you guys. please help me and give me tips. I am in a really bad place emotinally and I dont know who I can talk to about it. any help is greatly apperciated. thank you - Noah Edit 1: im a junior in high school now if that matters.
