>I just feel like such a failure What is your failing? How is this, at all, your fault? Despite the fact that you have a challenge that none of your peers have to deal with, you get up every morning, you go in to school, and you do your best. That's a goddamn success. The next time you think of yourself as a failure I want you to tell yourself STOP! Would you call somebody else dealing with a disorder or a disability a failure? If you wouldn't cast that shade at someone else you damn sure shouldn't be casting it at yourself. You'll only be a failure when you stop trying and you relinquish your life to your stutter. Recognize the strength that you exert in the face of adversity.
