Humiliated I volunteered to help with our church's VBS this week because I'm trying to talk more, and I figured it was a way to help out and to talk mostly just in front of kids, so less pressure (I stutter a lot less around my younger siblings). Boy was I wrong. I got laughed at all week by little kids who didn't understand me and kept asking why I talked so funny. It was incredibly humiliating. It also doesn't help seeing all these really little kids who can talk way better than me, and say their names without even thinking. Now the week is over and instead of it improving my speech and boldness I just want to crawl under my bed and die. Never doing anything like that again.
