HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!!! I know how you feel. Most of us have stuttered since we were kids. Its hard as fuck to live with stuttering and go to school. But you know what? You do it. And you persevere. And you become a better human than the shitheads who made a child feel less than a person simply because you're speech is different. I think people who stutter actually have a bit of a gift. Since we usually don't like to talk, we also tend to think more about the words we're about to say. We don't just spew whatever vapid prattle pops into existence. If we speak, it probably has more substance. I'm 51, dude. I promise that if you hang in there and don't let the idiots get to you too much, you'll look back and realize how awesome you really were when you felt low. I think about myself as a kid and wish I could ho back in time and give him a hug and tell him he's a good person with a lot of value. So are you.
