When I was a kid my grandma would wash my mouth out with soap sometimes when I stuttered really badly. Of course that solved nothing and it made me really resent her. It was crazy and ridiculous for her to do that to me over something I can’t control. You will never be able to shame your stutter away. You don’t deserve to be punched so please don’t do it to yourself. Stuttering is not shameful. the people who shame us are cruel and undeserving of us
