>is there any way to at least make it more occasional? There are all sorts of techniques, some might work better than others for you. Try to find videos on Youtube, maybe look for "tips" or "advice" within this sub to find threads about it. You could even talk to other stutterers directly, either in person if you can find some in your area, or on voice chats like ours - if you're comfortable with that, of course, otherwise you can just keep it in mind for when you're older. Two tricks that come to mind and that somewhat worked for me are 1) to make an effort to speak slightly more slowly/purposefully, and 2) to take a breath before talking. You might be able to find a certain timing or rhythm that works for you, at least for a little while. Sometimes re-phrasing the sentence in your mind can also help you get past a block (e.g. by starting the sentence with a less problematic word). There's also 'delayed auditory feedback' devices which apparently help a lot of people. The devices themselves can be expensive but you can find cheap (possibly even free) phone apps that do the same thing. So if you have a smartphone and earbuds with a mic, and you're willing/able to keep one earbud in during the day to get the delayed feedback, that might be a good solution. I've heard the effectiveness can wear off after a while though as your brain gets used to it.
