1. It started at 5 but it stopped until I was 11 and I still stutter 2. I wouldnt say Ive been bullied but I didnt have a grrat time at school. My schoolmates didnt want to be my friends because I didnt talk "properly" and I isolated myself. I think that was the biggest problem, auto-isolating. However, I made a lot of friends outside the school and Ive never been alone. 3. Im 23 and Ive had a lot of deep romantic relationships, kind of more than the average, and Ive never have any problem to flirt and to feel desirable. 4. My personal advice: - Tell teachers to NOT avoid asking him to speak out loud. In fact, I would tell them to ask them proactively because he should learn that he deserve the same space as the fluents. - Talk in family (all, not only you) about how was the day was and how he has go through the stuttering. Be sure he knows that you allow him to statter as much as he needs. -In a couple of years, I highly recommend him to visit a psycologist and start speech therapy. Be careful with what kind of speech therapy he would do. It could be harmfull. BEST WHISHES!!!!!
