hi man , one thing i gotta say that helped me a lot is talking to other people online . it all started with me joining a clan for a game when i hsed to go in Teamspeak to start talking i would start stuttering as well but soon after i get calm and relaxed and it just goes away now ive been with them for 2 years i almost never stutter talking to somebody online so yeah give it a shot doesnt have to be a gaming clan could be anything and yeah you're parents are right meet new people if your freinds ignore you get new ones hope this helps . a therapist will guide you wont help you talk normally in a day you're the one to take the initiative . hope this helps cheers from Morocco.
