Call them out on it. In any professional setting, you should always confront them about it directly. Tell them it's not funny to you. What're they going to do, expel you for standing up for yourself?...

This still happens to me quite frequently (28F) and honestly, if you feel comfortable, if feels really good to respond to this with "Oh, I have stutter actually". Very matter-of-factly. I often add "S...

Wow, those people are assholes. They have their insecurities so they have to laugh at people to make themselves feel better. It's okay, don't let it bring you down. This random person on the internet ...

This happened all the time as a kid. "Ha ha, did you forget your name for a second?" (Side note, even if I had is the something to laugh at someone over?) Hasn't happened at all as an adult, people g...

Hey, sorry you're struggling with this. Stuttering can make things so difficult & it's easy to let the fear kind of take over and hold you back. Please try not to be so tough on yourself. I'm no...

I used my stutter as a barometer for people’s character. If they actually think a 25 year old forgot his own name when meeting someone then they might not be the best person to acquaint myself with. I...

Of course. People make fun of all sorts of things. Some people are not very good people either, who make fun of things they really shouldn't be making fun of. But why should that stop you from speaki...

I think instead you should explain that you have a stutter and you have no control over it. Most people aren't teasing because they're bad people, they simply just don't know what stuttering is, throu...

This may be a good general idea for life, but definitely not for school. Kids in school can be downright turds. Some of those kids would literally laugh at people in wheelchair or crutches. And when y...

I'd avoid this approach. You don't have to be moralizing. Be straightforward and say "Hey I'm not cool with that. I know you're just teasing but I'd rather you cut it out, okay?" if it bothers you and...
