I will die on this podium: every job interview I have now, I tell them straight up I have a stutter. It’s not because I’m nervous, but I just can’t help it. Every job that I’ve brought it up in the in...

People make fun of your stutter and you allow that? Or were you just saying in general? I haven't had that happen to me since I was in school. If this happening to you as an adult, I advise you shut...

I’m really glad you stood up for yourself, it’s really hard to do, and it sucks that you had to console the bartender tbh whom I hope takes this as a wake up call to be more empathetic towards people....

Good for you for sticking up for yourself here, and you did the exact right thing by not accepting the drinks....

You are not alone. When I was in school, I asked my therapist to write a note so I would not have to do public speaking. She would not write a note. She thought it would be good for me to do the prese...

I’ve had this happen to me before but I’ve never had the balls to call them out on their shit (except for once but they were relentless). Good for you for standing up for yourself and not caving the p...

Everytime I let an interviewer know that I stutter, so it’s not that I’m nervous I just can’t help it, I’ve gotten the job. I actually just got a second job and I had my third shift today! I always ...

Should say "a kid who stutters". Yes, but not to "explain" his stutter, but just to say that he does. I know it would take a lot of courage, but if his teacher and fellow students are laughing, he...

OK, something doesn't add up here. Wasn't it you who posted the complaint about your teacher at school laughing at you when you had a block?...

If they were laughing, they need to be told. This person needs to stand up for himself and talk to the teacher - it is worth it! In fact, I believe it would be good for him at that time to ask the...

I have the same block type stutter. 18 here. Don’t care, learn martial arts, get jacked. Don’t tolerate any type of ridicule, leave that hs. You got this. Don’t let them win....

Go talk to the teacher and explain yourself!! ..and mention how his/her laughter really hurts. Other people might not know what is going on with you, so let them know....

You should never feel shame in reporting inappropriate behavior. Tolerance for this type of bullshit has lowered contrary to the past....

You can do something about this. I also was/am a full stop blocker. Teacher calls on you. Either say nothing or say “pass”. Or just say “no”. It’s your life, you can do whatever you want. If you do...

Why stoop down to their level? If they need to mock people to feel better about themselves then that’s a sad way to be. Be the bigger and better person. Leave well-enough alone. If it bothers you ...

Slovakia Most of the people are so understanding, when I disclose to them I stutter, or excuse myself when I have a block. Honestly, sometimes I’m so surprised how patiently people wait for me to fin...

Take a deep breath and speak. Look homie u ain't the first one this happened to, no way u gonna be the last either. Complaining about also not gonna work. We have to play with the cards that we are de...

Nah just go down there and let them know that you don’t like to be made fun of. Stay strong brother!...

I usually have 2 reactions when this happens depending on my speaking abilities that day. Usually I just let it go because yes it's fucked up and yes it's hard to deal with but life goes on and we run...

Make an official complaint that they made fun of you for a protected disability that you have. Whether or not you personally consider your stutter to be a disability, for a lot of people it is, and we...
