Stuttering is a hard problem to deal with. Trust me, it was horrible for me in middle school. I barely would go out. The second i got home I would isolate myself and take a scolding hot bath. I just felt so numb. I still stutter but its not as bad as before. If you are interested in treatment, any anti-psychotic should help pretty well (Seroquel, Zyprexa, Risperdone) although long-term, they can have some damage. Stuttering really does suck, but ive learned to take it as a lesson rather than a curse. Having a stutter has made me go through hardships and pain that built me up to be a stronger person. If you are still in your youth, it may get better. Mine was bad around 12-14. Around age 17 i was pretty fluent here and there. Still chop over words but not as bad. Hope this helps!
