Too many people get away with being crappy because they aren’t called out. Even if you stutter while defending yourself, you still are showing that you are something worth defending....

So what? It's always better to stand your ground instead of letting them get away with being shitty and inconsiderate. If someone mocked me or laughed at me now, I'd surely let them know they're being...

>We can’t do anything. First off, I object to telling people they are powerless to stand up for themselves. Everyone can, and *should,* stand up for themselves. When was the last time you tried? ...

We can’t do anything. If we say anything(which in these situations, stutter always makes an appearance)then they will continue to laugh even more. The only solution is to hit them which can be ineffec...

Stand up. Right then and there. Tell them that it isn't OK. It can be as simple as "That's not cool. You owe me an apology." Is this from the general public, or is this from a peer group? I'm assumi...

Don't let them get off scot-free. Stand up for yourself and hold your head up. Our stutter does not give people the right to treat us with any less respect. We also have our dignity and must demand re...

You do have those freedoms. But you need to *exercise* those freedoms. It's hard work. I'm not even remotely suggesting that it's easy. Any limits or restraints you feel are those you choose to acce...
