Hang in there, somack. It gets better. When I was in school I could barely talk. It was really, really hard, especially as my family moved from a small town to a big city and I had zero friends. But, whatever doesn't kill you... Surviving that made me a lot stronger and more resilient to come. I certainly did miss out on opportunities due to my stutter, but the strength of preserverence made me a much better, more resilient person and ultimately resulted in my having some amazing opportunities in the future. Hang in there. Hang in there. If you ever want to chat or talk, message me.
