It's not pretty privilege. It's the fact your comfortable with yourself and choose good people to be around you. I'm a 24 yo man now, but as a kid I definitely had some bullies. It didn't stop me from being the most talkative and outgoing kid in class. It's all about how these 'bullies' perceive you. My friends also stood by me for my whole life as I've had the same friends since elementary and middle school. It helps having that support from your circle, because whenever a stranger gives me an uninterested look or says something derogatory, it doesn't affect me as much as it used to, because I know who I am as a person. I'm just a person who happens to stutter. Confidence is key along with the support of those closest to you! God bless you and those who love you!
