Stuttering is your way of communicating. You can choose to see this as fortunate or unfortunate. I go back and forth between the two even at the age of 41. From family finishing my sentences to those sideways looks from co-workers. Stuttering has been the main source of my low self-confidence - but it has also been the driving force to keep crawling through the mud and achieve seemingly impossible goals. I was told once to “live, if only to see how bad things really can get.” You are in school and you are young. I envy you. Wishing you nothing but the best. Don’t give up just yet.
