Hi, for me (I'm 38) I still stutter, and yes it's frustrating. Some grow out of it and some people don't. My father and grandfather both stuttered but they grew out of it and I could hardly ever tell they had a stutter. Everyone is different, I guess I wasn't lucky enough or maybe a traumatic situation caused mine too stick around. My advice to you, is don't get down on yourself. My stutter is pretty bad but I've actually lived a normal life. Has it stopped me from doing certain things, yes. But we all have certain flaws that we either learn to overcome or deal with. Just keep trying to get better. Seek help, speech therapy or search online for some other treatments.
