My teacher let me drop a subject because I stutter So, I'm 16. Stuttered ever since I learned to speak. It went away as I got to ten/eleven, but when I moved schools it came back and it was bad. In my school we have to do speaking assessments in English and Welsh (Welsh since I'm from Wales) and ever single one would get me emotional and my marks would be awful. That and my counsellor told me I had anxiety, which made the entire thing harder. I think Welsh was definitely worse since I don't know the language well and I'd get the words I would say wrong, and my teacher tried everything. She had me record them in a room with just the two of us, give me extra time to practice, but I'd always get worked up and cry and mess up everything. It got to the point where she left me with the recorder on my own and when it all got too much for me I left the room through the backdoor and locked myself in a toilet stall to cry. I know it was childish but it made me feel really pathetic. So, a couple days later she took me out of class and told me it was probably best if I dropped the subject. She told me to think about it more but all I could imagine was the embarrassment and the crying that I'd avoid if I said yes so I did. I don't know if I regret it and I feel like I should've tried harder, but I still have these things in English and I was just looking for any advice. If you guys have any. Thanks for reading. :)
