Life as a teenager with a stutter is hard, not gonna lie to you. My best advice would be to not let it stop you from doing what you want. Go out. Make friends. Date. Be a teenager. Ofcourse there will be many moments of embarrassment and you being hard on yourself, but I think what many of us fail to realize is that we can lead fulfilling lives just like anyone else. It’s important to keep your confidence up - even though at times it may be very difficult to do that. In my teenage years and during my early twenties I was very hard on myself and I focused on my stutter so much that it made it worse. Ofcourse this is my personal experience, but once I started accepting myself as a person who stutters, all the noise in my head went away and I stopped thinking of myself as less than. I used to think about my stutter everyday. Instead of thinking about myself as a person who stutters, I would think of myself as a stuttering person. I put my stutter before all my other qualities. Now in my early thirties, I think about my stutter much less. I still may get nervous to say something, or be hard on myself after I stutter or have an embarrassing interaction. But I find myself thinking about it much much less which has in turn made my stutter much much better. I even had an interaction with my mom the other day, saying that I read something about magnesium helping anxiety and stuttering. She noted that she doesn’t even think about my stuttering anymore because it’s gotten so much better. My husband says the same. I hope this helped in some way. Sending you good vibes and a successful future 😄
