Bullied for stuttering My name is Jude and ive been stuttering since I was 4-6. Recently about a month ago, the day of my orchestra concert we had to go to the place we were performing at during school hours to practice, we were waiting for the bus to come to bring us back to our school and got into an argument with these 2 people and stuttered obviously, one guy in the argument tried to start a fist fight because I *looked in his direction*. The other person started arguing with me and she cut me off and she started doing the "i dont have a good argument so ill just start tackling your insecurities and insult you" tactic and said to me "You sound like a fish! GUH-GUH-GUH, UH-UH-UH.". And after she did that i didnt say a word to her for the rest of the day and I was the maddest I have EVER been. After 1-2 weeks after this i got so mad and needed justice so i told my orchestra teacher (who is very supportive and a awesome teacher) and she told the higher ups of the school (principal, secretary, ect.) And they called me into there office and I told them everything. The higher ups called the bully girl up to the office and i got the justice I deserved. Edit: Im not a snitch for getting trying to get justice
