No hate speeches! Yes I have the same group of friends since school, I find it hard as an adult to make new friends as an adult! Like I say you must be doing something with your life school, work, hobbies take the positives from that! And last thing about the cancer I'm sure if you asked someone with cancer having chemo week in week out, in pain, their family is watching them die, they have weeks to live, they won't see their kids grow up, all of their hopes and dreams have been taken away or they could swap that for a stutter...I know what I would rather have and it's not the former! I know it's tuff, no one has to tell me that having a pretty bad stutter all my life but just gotta get on with it haven't you! Hopefully you'll start thinking more positively, it will be the best thing for you! :)
