Being in High School with a Stutter Hello! My name is Michael and I am about to be a senior in high school. I have had a stutter since third grade and I have had a struggle with interpersonal relationships at school. I have good grades--and overall I am academically successful. However, I have struggled to gain friends and also gain a romantic relationship (I am a heterosexual). It's kind of started to drive me crazy. I realize in the end that it doesn't matter as high school relationships never seem to materialize permanently but I feel like I'm missing out on a vital high school experience. I feel like I'm good looking enough--yet the stutter has made me nervous to talk to nearly anyone. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this hindrance?
