I've pretty much given up

I've pretty much given up 16m. Just moved to another new school, AGAIN! My stuttering has just gotten worse and worse, I don't even try to talk anymore, so people think I'm rude. I don't see the point anymore. Why do people like me, who stutter have to suffer in silence? I say I'm fine, but I never am. I haven't been "fine" in a long time. There's no reason to continue suffering for no reason.
