I WISH I WAS NORMAL I'm 15(f) turning 16 with a bad stutter and I don't think I can do this anymore. I can't continue watching all the people in my life be able to comfortably express themselves when I can barely sayy name. Things were fine before highschool. I had friends who didn't mind how I talked and teachers who were patient with me. Now no one wants to talk to me because I'm the weird kid who can barely talk and teachers who dgaf about what I have to say. It sucks more because I'm in a boarding school and I don't think I can take the weird looks anymore. Everyone assumes I'm dumb and pathetic just because of this disability and the thought of having to live like this for the rest of my life is depressing.
