Tonight supposed to be great... Hi, I am a college student. Tonight I received an award for being one of the 8 students with highest academic records. But when the host asked me some questions, I stuttered a lot. And there were about 100 people watching, some were looking at me like a freak. Now that they all know I am a stutter. I never feel more humiliated than ever. I just want to kill myself. Why are some people normal while some are stutters? Why does God have to do this to me?
