I’m sorry you had a shitty experience. High school is rough enough, even without stuttering. Peer pressure, high expectations and the fact that brains are not fully developed yet all point to high school being hard if we have any difference whatsoever. I’m an older woman who has stuttered well for many years. I say well because it’s true - I’m very good at it. It took me a long time to reach that point. I don’t really care what others think. But I did - for a long time. It gets easier - it really does. Priorities change, you begin thinking about employment, career, family and values. And so does everyone else. Truth is - nobody cares more than you do. Everyone has their own issues. They are thinking about their shit, not yours. Don’t let stuttering, or the fear of stuttering, live rent free in your head!
