Just a thank you for this thread Hey, just came across this thread and its great. Really really great, and I think it can help me and a lot of other stammers in the future. I'm 16, a guy and from the UK and have had a stammer for all my life so far (I tried intense therapy when i was about 12, but it didn't work for me, it doesn't always work and i think people should know that). My stammer is not that bad, but on a bad day, it can be really bad. Today was a very bad day (hence why i was creeping around the internet for advice for stammerers), i could hardly even say good morning to my mum today, took me 3 tries and set the tone for the rest of the day. But i started reading this thread 30 minutes ago and it gave me a huge confidence boost and inspired me, 5 minutes ago i went downstairs and felt i could tell my life story to a stranger. Basically THANKS!!
