Nevermind how it's called, here's what you do: 1. Never, **ever**, try to force the word out. I know how impossible that feels, but if you get in the habit of forcing the word out, you **will** devel...

I'm 15 too and I experience the same things you are, it sucks. If you can't get speech therapy may see if there are any tips on the internet? Ive found that talking slower and breathing during my sen...
