Developing a stutter as a teen? Hello, before all of this just know I am not very informed so I most likely won't be using proper terminology and I won't know all of the acronyms So, when i was about 13 I started to stutter occasionally. It would only happen about 3-5 times a day. To my knowledge I never stuttered at all before then and it just started one day. Is this possible? I hadn't had any traumatic things happen to me in awhile and I was perfectly fine if not for the stuttering. Its been about 3 years now and its still occurring regularly and more often. Everyone around me except my girlfriend thinks im faking it and its really really frustrating to be told to just "stop stuttering." Im not sure as to why exactly im posting here but i figured you all would have good insight on my situation
