well, ur never gonna stop stuttering with that mentality.I've lived this year just like you. I had no friends, and no one in my class knew I stuttered, simply because I barely spoke, and when I did, it was in short sentences that didn't stutter. But I'm fed up; I don't give a damn if people know. I'm starting college this year, and I've promised myself that on the first day, my entire class will know I stutter. I'm fed up with being unhappy. I'd rather be unhappy knowing everyone knows I stutter than be unhappy without communicating, as if I were mentally retarded. Because, yes, people will think you're retarded. I recommend you wake up.
