Practice helps, I think as well people tend to be more impatient nowadays (especially in school with phones and social media). I'm 20 with a stutter and now in college to be a high school teacher. I want to spread awareness for stuttering and other speech impediments. If you run into trouble in school, having a good core group of friends is everything. I didn't have friends that were open and accepting of my stutter till high school. Now in college I have the best group I could ask for and it helped so much. Not having to worry about stuttering in front of them saves so much stress. As well, in class if I stutter they tend to help me. Don't let people get you down about you stutter.
