Stuttering Student Hi everyone, I am a 16 year old boy and unfortunately I suffer from stuttering for as long as I can remember. Every year the beginning of the school is a trauma because I can't express myself as I want; often the questions go wrong because I tend to say only 20% of what I have studied. My professors and classmates are aware of my problem and luckily they don't make me weigh it and treat me like a normal student. As a child I stammered to periods of 4/5 months then I returned to speak fluently, now unfortunately (after the lockdown period) I stammer constantly, blocking myself at the beginning of the word. I have never gone to a speech therapist, but I have informed myself as much as possible about stuttering and from what I understood after about 14 years if the problem has not been solved it is really difficult for the stuttering to be eliminated so I see the sessions from a speech therapist as a waste of time and money. In a few days the school year begins and I don't know how to do it, I accept advice. Thank you
