Here's what I did. Senior year finally came I couldn't hold off on taking business communications any longer(class full of speeches and crap). First day of class during introductions I told everyone that I stutter. Didn't apologize or anything. Just said "sometimes I stutter." That day forward everyone in the class was super nice to me. It was like I didn't have to hide anything anymore. Ofcourse I still stuttered here and there, but I didn't care, and no one else did either.
