I'm able to manage my stutter now but being in high school and having to read or talk out loud was a huge anxiety I didn't understand completely at the time. I'll always remember Spanish class one day when I couldn't say the vocabulary word and I knew I wouldn't be able to so I just denied it even though everyone was saying theirs. I wish I could have just been open with the teacher, cuz he got pissed... just be true and honest and you'll be okay.
