I also moved to a new school in 9th grade, going from 400+ (where I knew everyone) to 2500+ (where I knew no one). I didn't have a single friend for the first two years there because I was too afraid to talk to anyone. Then, we moved back to my old school and things were okay again. I'm 27 today and I still feel traumatized when I think about those two years. It's not the stutter or the anxiety that's the worst, it's the isolation. Reading your story, it seems like you're already faring better than I did. Life gets better, I can tell you that. It seems like you also have figured out a lot more than I did when I was your age. I think the big transition in a stutterers life comes from just being aware and accepting of our disability and outgrowing that "fight or flight" where we just try to hide in any social situation. It's good that you're focusing on just your friends and people that accept you. That should help alleviate a lot of the anxiety, which is the real disease in the end. Best of luck!
