Somebody please leave advice I am in the 8th grade and will be going to a very big high school. My stutter isn’t even that bad, but I get severe blocks whenever I have to say my name and often at random—mostly in important situations, especially when discussing an important topic. I really only have blocks, but it is extremely hard to keep pushing when I know I will just get made fun of.
