The first step is to accept it. Maybe if I say it the way I was told you will get it. I accepted stuttering and I often talk fluid with strangers and people around me (teachers, classmates, friends, etc) Sorry for the cursing in advanced. Just remember this: "Stutter is shit. So what if you fucking stutter? At least I prefer to be a stutterer than an ignorant bitch who teases me in school so she or he can feel better than me. Fuck that. Stuttering won't kill you, but ignorance will. Don't be a bitch crying over it" Those were the words from my mom when she found out I was crying due to stutter and that I was bullied at school. I accepted stutter after that and I don't mind stutter at all.
