Just want it to stop. A little background: I fell off a 12ft fence when I was 5. I remember talking fine before but after that I started stuttering. I haven’t done a lot of things in life that I wanted to because I’m so self conscious about how I talk. I hate getting excited and wanting to tell people news and information but I hold myself back because I’m scared. I haven’t gone to certain job interviews because I’ve been laughed at so many times for how I talk. I got beat up in school because I couldn’t say my name right. I wish I never had this stutter. It makes me so mad to the point I’m in tears and just praying it would go away.
