I like to think so. I used to play GTA 5 online when it was still hype. I would turn on my mic and join the convo. First few weeks were rough but as I engaged more, I was stuttering less. This was onl...

Honestly. Kids are mean AF. I’m a teacher and I see this every day. If you can and want to, join an after school club or a sport. People seem to gravitate to kids who play sports or are good at someth...
