I know but since I’m the only one with a stutter I’ve never talked about it because they probably won’t understand it. If it still keeps bothering I might though...

Talk about it. Might as well. Even though you're not hiding it, you may be hiding your feelings about it, in which case it'd be a good idea to share that. Don't carry it around on your own, that's not...

Do you hide it completely during your day? That's not good. How about talking to your parents at first? I mean, in case they don't know. And then friends afterwards, I suppose....

1. Well, I am a reasonably smart kid and whenever I want to express myself, I can't because of my stutter. Especially when I am in class and no one knows the answer but me and I wanna show off. 2. For...

You're not an idiot, you just stuttered. Please don't consider this a failure on your part. That's not fair and you shouldn't be feeling that way. Stutter is just a thing that some people have. It's s...

In a way it _is_ our responsibility. But that's just in the general sense of taking care of ourselves. If we have a problem, we should deal with it. This doesn't mean it's our fault, it just means the...

I, most likely, live in a different country than you, so the situation might be different. I developed a stutter at that age, it didn't go away. In my experience, local, general speech therapists ar...

I'm not for this. I don't think a national awareness campaign has anything to do with anything. I don't care if people have no clue about it, it's not my business to tell them about anything. I'm livi...

That's good that you don't avoid speaking anymore. However, there are other things, body language, that still could be sending the signal of "Avoid, avoid". It also could be that people around you are...

It makes most people uncomfortable to conversate with us. It's painful to accept, but at least it won't be a mystery. Counter this by being selective about what you do say, Quality content is importan...

You definitely should not be treated differently. And if that's what people think because of how you speak, then that's their issue, not yours. Presence of a stutter does not equate unintelligence. ...

Warn your friends maybe with a text that they misbehave you. Stuttering is a kind of disorder, nothing to make fun of it. Even if you get such reactions, always keep in mind that you are innocent, v...
