Reading out loud So, I’m in my 9th year at school, I go to a very very small school so we know each other well, but it’s like the teachers DONT understand that reading out loud and doing presentations is not something I am capable of rn, it’s like they can’t understand what stuttering is, they think it’s something small that can be fixed by just trying harder, today I had to read out loud in English class, when my teacher told me we were going to read out loud, i felt like I was going to have a panic attack, I was so so so worried, usually I say that I really don’t want to read out loud, but I knew that she is going to fail me if I don’t start reading out loud in class like everyone else, also I couldn’t say that I didn’t want to in that moment because I was already so intensely anxious I could barely open my mouth, but I read a sentence, and it was horrible, probably one of the sorts stuttering moments I’ve ever had. I got stuck on every.singe. Word. So I stopped and just mumbled that I didn’t want to read anymore, i feel horrible, after reading I just sat there trying not to cry, this was a few minutes ago and I’m sitting here writing this in the bathroom with tears streaming down my face, I just want it to stop, I just want to be able to speak like everyone else. Im not writing this to make people feel bad for me, I just wanted to share my feelings with people who can relate and possibly get any tips(also sorry for bad grammar I’m not a native English speaker)
