when I was a teen I had a huge problem with my stuttering, people would make fun of me and I wouldn't be able to say 2 words fluently. when I finished high school, I got more confident on myself I my stuttering has almost disappeared in most situations, but when I'm taking an exam for example I can't talk properly and it makes me so mad, after so many years of progress. Yesterday I sat for an exam that involved defending a project I made with some classmates, I had practiced everything I had to say perfectly at home, alone, and I didn't stutter even once, but at the time of the exam I couldn't communicate what I wanted to say properly, and even though I got a good mark, I still believe that if I hadn't stuttered so much I could have gotten a better one. It bothers me also because I had written most of the project, my classmates didn't do much but they still got a slightly higher mark than me because (in my opinion) they could express themselves better than me... I feel like some people believe that when somebody stammers, it's because they're too nervous and "hasn't studied enough" or doesn't know what to say
