Stutter in school I'm 15 years (English is not my 1st language) I stutter quite alot, and have been doing it since 8 years. At this point of my life i have never stuttered as much as I do rn. Mostly when i have to say something specific, like reading out loud, do a presentaion or introduce my self. And you have to do that alot in school, and every time my teacher says that we are gonna read out loud, i always head to the bathroom because im scared of stuttering. Only few people knows im stuttering, including my parents But im scared of telling my teacher that i just cant read out loud. Im very good at most subjects so i find it very annoying. Also in a few months we will be having alot of presentations since im in the last grade, and I fear i will get terrible grades because i can't say anything. Im very good at writing things and usually get the highest grades, i just cant speak. What can i do to prevent getting terrible grades for the rest of my life?
