Trauma from bullying Like a lot of people who were born with a stutter, I have been subjected to bullying all my life. From the start of preschool I’ve have had people mock and and make fun of me. This has in turn given me long lasting affects of trauma\social anxiety. Not a lot of people talk about the lasting effects of bullying on top of a stutter, but I can say it has impacted almost every aspect of my life. This is something I will continue to work on, but I want everyone to know you are not alone. Everyday we go through a battle no one will understand, but in turn it makes us stronger in so many ways. No one deserves to be treated less then based on something they can’t control. Every day let’s be kinder to ourselves and have the grace to give that kindness to the world ❤️
