I’m still a teenager, just finished a year of high school. Elementary school: Honestly wasn’t that bad, I was able to talk and communicate without getting teased or made fun of it because of it. I was a squeaker though and did have a very high pitch voice despite being a male. That was something people pointed out, but my stuttering wasn’t an issue. Middle school: This was when Covid hit. Did my first year digital, then my other years physical. In 7th grade, despite being in a pretty ghetto school, people were surprisingly patient with me, especially the teachers. Don’t know what happened since, but moved schools due to a district change for 8th grade. This is where my stuttering became a much larger problem. I wasn’t really able to talk due to how serve it became. And I remember during a presentation, I stuttered a bunch and that set the tone for the remaining of the school year. Barely spoke, used a computer to typed out what I wanted to say on a google doc during group work. Did make a good amount of friends though. High school: I got an IEP which made majority of my school year easy when it came to presentations. I was able to alternatively present by sending a video of me presenting to my teacher. But for group presentations, I usually had one of my group members present on my behalf in exchange I make their slide(s). But for the presentations that was being entirely based off my presenting skills, I was pretty much out of luck. My last presentation of my school year happened a few weeks ago. I stuttered during my second pretty bad, saw a few of my classmates trying to hold back a laugh, with some of them letting out a small giggle. Pretty much ruined my mood for the rest of the school year, and made me rethink about how I could live life with a pretty bad stutter. Outside of presentations, I was able to make some new friends that are patient with me. Some people didn't even realize that I had a stutter while small talk with them. And occasionally ran against those classmates who didn't know what speech impediment/stuttering is, and think that it wasn't a big issue. As for right now, not excited for my next year of high school. Hate going through the process of having to meet people and being able to communicate due to my stutter. And people could be jerks about anything now on outside the occasion teasing/messing around. Thankfully mainly just experienced light teasing for high school.
