I've been in your situation. I have a few things to say. Firstly, you personally, are not a freak, stuttering involves things that are going on in the brain. But you personally, whoever you are, there isn't anything wrong with you. We can separate those two things. What's going on in the brain and who we are as people. Moving on from that, you sound like a sporty guy, keep up with that and honestly, try to become as best as you can be. People at school like those who are good at things, especially sport. And when I was at school girls thought stuttering was "cute". They may think the same thing too. If you have a class with one of them, I recommend sitting next to one of them and just letting them know about it, they will be 100% understanding. And honestly, in all your interactions, especially with girls, if you feel that you're about to stutter, just say, "sorry I actually stutter a bit" And smile about it. More than likely, they'll smile too and say that it is okay. And more than likely, you'll be fluent after that. I hope this helps man, all the best.
