My teachers never gave me a break for my stutter. It was crappy and uncomfortable, but I appreciated being treated like everyone else. I also appreciated being challenged. This is hindsight, of course. In the moment, it was torture. I got made fun of by students and laughed at by teachers too. So, I understand how you feel. Hopefully the obstacles make you stronger! By pushing through my fears of speaking, I became a stronger speaker. My personal experience, but I know it's hard. Good luck to you!
