I can make/accept calls now I am 18 and ever since i was a kid I had a severe stutter . At the point where I could not even say my name , now ever since I have turned 18 I have been able to make more phone calls and accept them , place orders etc . The only thing that has motivated me is that I have tuned 18 which means I am adult and fully independent now . So I just forced myself to be more confident, even when I do I call I still stutter a lot but most people are very patient.
