Being laughed at by adults Yesterday at school I was asked my name by 2 preschool teachers for a form to be filled in and well surprise surprise I stuttered but what was shocking was the fact that they laughed. They laughed after I told them my grade because it seems these grown adults either do not know what a stutter is or think someone in high school shouldn’t still have it. It hurt, in the moment I actually didn’t think much of it but later I broke down and cried about it.
