I'm in high school right now. I wouldn't change it for the world. It may cause the occasional "awkward silence" as people try to understand what the f*ck I just said, but I feel like that's okay. Most people I meet are very supportive and sympathetic about my stutter. Actually, well, there was that one time... We were having a track meet, grade 6. I was doing fine, having the time of my life as we competed. This jackass comes up to me and starts mocking my stutter. His friends are obviously to scared to stand up to him. I honestly don't mind, he's just another idiot. An idiot who just started making fun of my in front of my mom, who was watching us from a few meters away. My mom would have torn that kid apart if she knew there wouldn't be consequences. She laid into him, and I'm pretty sure he ran away crying. Looking back, I'm not sure if he's okay or not. I always see him sitting alone in the stairwell while I'm going through the hall with his former friends. I tried inviting him once, but he just kind of scoffed and looked away. Hm. Anyways, my stutter has been a big part of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. You know that feeling you get when you're on a roll? That's how I feel when I ace a presentation, and that's the best feeling ever.
