Stuttering problem since childhood I have struggled with a stuttering problem since childhood. Now that I am 19, I also fear speaking on stage or in front of large groups, unfamiliar people, or even my classmates. However, I can speak freely with my close friends without stuttering. When I feel anxious, I tend to hesitate and block on words, which causes me to miss out on many experiences in life. Unfortunately, school and college provide me with no guidance, and I constantly worry about what others think of me; it feels like they laugh at me.
