hey, would you mind if i asked how old you are? i remember that people could be just brutal from like 6 until 15. And from then until 22-ish, I still got some pretty cruel responses. A lot of this stemmed from people being, well, dumb and young and immature. After I went to graduate school around 22, people were more mature and smarter and grown-up and I stopped getting these kind of snide comments about my stutter. Now I'm 30, and people are generally super professional and understanding and it's hardly mentioned.
