I began to stutter when I was about 4 or 5 because of mental torture in the kindergarten by nationalist teachers just because I am Russian. After I changed kindergarten I instantly started to attend speech therapist and surprisingly my stuttering was extremely low and most of the time even non existent, however the good news don’t end here at all. There are two paths the stutter can take later on. Yes it is possible to outgrow a stutter and forget about it completely, but there is also a second path, that also happened with me. When puberty hit me and all the hormones got crazy like it normally does for everyone. My stuttering came back and even stronger than before. My mistake was that when my stuttering returned I didn’t go to speech therapist straight away and let it to grow and grow bigger. Don’t do my mistake and always attend experts, even if stuttering is very little because it will grow bigger most of the time if not controlled.
