I understand. I'm 39 and lasted a year of high school without any stammer. That was a serious acting achievement. After that year I dropped out and moved to another school where I was open with my stutter from the beginning. Today I can if I need, I love to talk in front of an audience, but it's always forced in some way and not the real me. The dream of saying whatever whenever still remains. Wish you all the best!
