im sick of it... I am a 15 year old dude who has had a major stuttering problem for my entire life. The last period of my life (Moving to high school) has been really difficult for me. I, as most people my age, struggle to become the perfect person during this period of life. My stuttering prevents me from reaching further. It prevents me from developing as a person, as i have severe social anxiety. My biggest issue is the complete lack of... "female interest". All my friends have girlfriends, and i can deal with the fact that i have not found the right one yet, but its very hard for me to deal with the obvious fact that its because i cant talk to people. I am naturally a very socially capable person, so the whole thing with me having to contain everything i want to say because i dont want to risk stuttering is leading me onto a path of alcohol and depression. I have considered suicide. I dont know what to do. My parents try to be supportive, but no matter what i say, they cant seem to understand the pain. I also want to say that i have not went to a speech therapist, although i am open to it. My stuttering is a bit more "rare" of sorts, since my problem is that the words just dont come out. Its hard to describe, but some words just dont escape at all. Once its out, the word flows without problems. If anyone has a similar situation, please tell me. I need it.
