"Stuttering is the one disability that good people still think it's okay to make fun of." Don't be afraid to speak up in class. I'm in college as well and I'm struggling through the same thing. It sucks but I try to keep it from affecting me too much. If someone is harassing you because of it, take it up with your prof or the administration. Behavior like that is not tolerated in any university. If it's something more casual, I generally just brush it off or just say to them that I have a speech impediment and ask them to stop. That usually gets them to fuck off. :) I usually like to take that energy and channel it into my academics and my work. Even if other students laugh at my stutter, at least I can demonstrate to my professors that I'm their best student in the class (and would eventually like a research position)! I've had some great conversations with some of my profs about their research, or just about broader concepts from the class. They're experts in the field and have vast amounts of knowledge. Don't let that opportunity slip by and don't be afraid to ask questions, even if it's a little outside the scope of the class. As an aside, you're paying (either directly or indirectly with a loan or scholarship) for your university experience. Don't let others get in your way of achieving the goals you've set for college. Here's what has helped me so far: * Joining clubs I'm genuinely interested in * Disclosing that I have a stutter to most people I meet * Letting my prof know (during office hours) that I have a speech impediment * Toastmasters--I just recently joined and it's been great so far * Going to every single career/research fair. I just accepted an offer for an internship and actually have another interview coming up. Practice interviewing often because it'll really help you later on. * Therapy! There's some stigma in our society regarding therapy, that it's only for people that have severe mental disorders. But I've found it to be really helpful.
