Well thanks I guess lol To be honest, I'm still conflicted about showing stuttering as something to laugh at. On one hand, being made fun of because of something you can't control and is already making your life difficult really sucks. On the other hand, if you don't allow people to make fun of your stutter, most people end up sweeping it under the rug and pretend that it's not there, at least in front of you. But sometimes all this achieves is making other people feel sorry for you but are too afraid to mention it to you because they don't want to hurt you feelings. And personally I don't like people feeling sorry for me.
