It's actually great practice. Public speaking is a massive fear and social blocker for many people, stutter or not. After doing several public speaking sessions your self confidence will be boosted wh...

I completely get you, I’m a senior in high school and I plan to be a lawyer. Even at my fast food job right now my coworkers think I’m stupid and don’t know things, they repeat things thinking I don’t...

I was forced to read aloud in 8th grade and I stuttered, and the whole class started laughing...

Something similar happened to me. Class 5 , Story telling competition. Despite having stammering , I was bubbly and lively enough to participate in a story telling competition, never having done it ...

I straight up told the teacher I was opting out of class reading. She could call on me, but I wasn't doing it. I did my oral presentations after class to just the teachers. Advocate for yourselves!...

hey girl, i know it can be hard. I was there too and in the beginning i was scared as to how i would say my name without stuttering. And please please dont think you’re alone in this😭 whatever you’re...

I feel like I read aloud perfectly fine in grade school/middle school. It wasn’t until I got to high school when I had horrible anxiety about reading or presenting something....

I go to Uni tomorrow for spring semester, but your situation is so relatable. The whole “looked at as if I’m stupid” I had that last semester the professor said to involve everyone in a group and they...

It’s crazy because although I stuttered pretty heavily since the 2nd grade, I never had a problem reading in front of the class. It wasn’t until college when that became an issue and incited anxiety....

I was in the same boat. Honestly I think smiling and other gestures of acknowledgment go a long way when speaking is too much. For attendance I’ll sometimes raise my hand instead of giving a verbal re...

I agree with everyone- follow your heart and passion!! !!!! I got a BA in psych and then a masters in public administration, which def had a lot more presentations than I was used to and expecting. I ...

Yeah. I feel you. I have to mentally prepare every single time, even if it's the same presentation. My manager is happy to do it for me, but I forced myself to do it so I can practice....

I am a PhD student and I have a stutter too. I am teaching an online and an in-person undergraduate course (anatomy and physiology). Thinking of the task ahead looks daunting but I believe my studen...

Everyone’s already said it but do what you want. I’m a speech therapist and getting my PhD and I still stutter at work with my patients and professors. My entire job is talking and communicating wit...

All the time. I would’ve done better at school, I would’ve had better jobs, I’m not always but sometimes I’m socially quiet and wish I could say the things I want to say instead of just saying yup, or...

Been a teacher and a professor. I found it very rewarding. I was super anxious for my first lecture (a 4-hour lecture), but once it was finished, I felt great. I had a little “cult” at my university w...

I'm a substitute teacher with a stutter. Every classroom is different, but a lot of kids are surprisingly accepting that I have a stutter compared to adults. It's refreshing- being able to stutter w...

I’m an intervention specialist (preschool special education teacher), having taught for 20 years in a top rated public school district. Stuttered all my life, but I can get by pretty well for the most...

Nice to see people doing similar jobs to mine! I’m an English teacher at a secondary school, teaching 10-14 year old kids. Previously, I was at high school. In classes with several “problem” kids, I...
