Really depends. I started school again this week, struggling with making new friends. For one of my classes there’s this person who most likely has apraxia of speech. A lot of people were laughing when he spoke or looked at each other trying not laugh. I felt bad, because of that I’m keeping a low profile in that class. And also a lot of people in my school is impatient and not that understanding of stuttering and speech impediment. But I was able to make new friends last school year, those friends were mostly understanding of it and sometimes didn’t realize I had one. Small teasing/mocking does happen here and there, but it’s mostly within my friend group that I don’t take it seriously and they don’t mean to be hurtful by doing it. And going back to you, you will be able to make friends. Real friends that I have doesn’t make my stutter seem like an issue if anything ignore it. They treat me like a human being. There’s going to be people at your college/high school that would be accepting of your stutter, but will take time.
