My story I have been stuttering since grade 3. I was a little kid wondering why sometimes I can’t say certain words or even my name I didn’t know what was wrong with me ;then my stutter disappeared up until grade 8 where now (grade 11) I have a sever stutter. I can’t say my name if I am asked to read I can’t I am thankful that we are doing online sessions since it displays my name and I don’t have to introduce myself over and over. I asked my parents for advice and they are in denial that I have a stutter. Every time I then to go to the doctor they throw a tantrum that doctors aren’t going to get me anywhere in life and that I will end up nowhere. I really don’t know how I can self improve myself I need help.
