When I started my new school year, I decided to be open about my stuttering. Since then, I felt that people were very supportive towards me. Letting everyone know that I stutter was a big step for me actually because I revealed my secret that I kept to myself for years. After being more open about my stutter, I decided to take part in school activities that required me to speak and present. I feel that my attitude and approach towards my stutter has improved but I still have such a difficult time. I actually breakdown a lot since I’m not used to throwing myself out there. I get too emotional now a days because I just kept years of pain to myself, and its all coming out. I feel that it is getting better thought. Thank you for your reply and I hope we can make improvements!
