What do I do when people make fun of me for stuttering? I've had a stutter since I was a kid, and even my own family makes fun of me for it. Whenever I try to speak and start stuttering, they either interrupt me or laugh because I struggle with certain words. It’s incredibly frustrating. Things got even worse in high school — people started mocking me and imitating the way I talk. I can’t stand it. I tend to react strongly when I feel disrespected I’ve yelled at people, and once I even slapped someone because they pushed me too far. But no matter what I do, they don’t stop. I’ve told them clearly that it hurts me and makes me feel awful, but they just keep going. Thankfully, I don’t stutter all the time it comes in phases but when it does, it can last for weeks. The hardest part is that I don’t know anyone else who stutters, I don't know who to ask for advice
