Possible brain trauma or am I just dumb? (15M) About a week ago i was jumped by two kids, one older than me and the other my age but much bigger and a experienced street fighter. I was hit in the face and received a black eye and a few bruises. I was also hit on the back of the head a few times and there are some bumps there. Anyways I am usually a well spoken person who has received a lot of praise for my speech and voice but since I was in that fight I seem to be stuttering and lose some of my words mid sentence. My grades are about normal I am in honors classes but I am having slight memory issues aswell. Does anyone know if these symptoms may be linked to some sort of minor brain trauma, if so is there any way to fix it from home or at least stop it?
