I've stuttered since i could talk. I'm now 44 years old. In school, I was picked on daily, making my life hell. As an adult, i joined the military where i had to give briefs often. Many times, people asked if i was having a seizure because my form of stutter is both blocking and repetition. It sucks, but I can't imagine even thinking of suicide because of my speech impediment. I don't know what you go through in life, just as you don't know what I go through. But, I'm just happy that my issue is a speech impediment and not a more serious issue. There is much worse problems a person can have then speech issues.
