As someone that has been in your shoes, I know how it is. I am 22 now, in school I really didn't talk much because of my stuttering and it led me to not communicate to people as much as I liked. In high school, I saw that even if I did stutter in class everyone there found it normal. Everyone in class with me I had pretty much grown up with. I live in a small town so everyone knew me and knew that I stuttered. This day I noticed that as people grow older what they thought was funny, actually wasn't. Kids grow up and see things differently. My high school experience was much better because I really wasn't worried about if I stuttered or not, at least for the most part. Today I am one month away from graduating college at the top of my department. Every month I get up in front of the entire department and speak since I am the club president. I don't worry about stuttering because that is who I am. I stutter. Everyone knows it and I just don't worry with it anymore. Yes it is annoying and really frustrating, but you cannot let it get in the way of your life. You have to find a way to accept that this is who you are as a person and move on. I promise your friends won't look at you any different. They're your friends because of you, not the way you speak. Things are hard when you're younger, especially with ignorant children, but they get better. So find a way to accept it, you'll feel much better. If you need anything else let me know, we all stutter here. You're never alone.
