Chill out with all the bro talk. We’re all in this together. Everyone here faces the difficult obstacle of speech and stuttering. My stutter was AWFUL for years. Like it took me 4 minutes to get out 7 words. You’re mad and It’s ok to be mad but don’t be mad at me for finding a way to work through a severe stutter. The combo of speech therapy and giving up helped me. I was tired of stuttering. Exhausted! I remember day dreaming about not giving a fuck. Then one day I literally told myself, “fuck it”. I want to say what I’ve dreaming about saying for a long time. (Insert whimsical comment during class). I wanted to be funny. Girls like guys that are funny. I still stutter but not even close to what I use to be. Also, I didn’t reduce myself. I grew. I’m no longer afraid. I shed my old skin. Try being nicer to yourself and to others. Remember, I still stutter and we’re all in this challenge together.
