I stutter too! I'm 18 now but my dad tells me that I didn't use to stutter. But I started stuttering when my best friend in preschool stuttered and when I hung out with him I began to develop my stutter. I'm a senior in high school and I have tried my best to not let my speech inhibit any of my decisions. My stuttering used to be very severe but as I got older and took ADHD medicine it has really mellowed me out and helped my speech. I do not have any issues socially but I struggle mentally with myself. I just went to my first 2 job interviews and it has helped a lot with my confidence with speech. I have always hated speech therapy and thought I never got anything out of it. The saying that keeps me going and realize that YOU can do it and things will get better is. what doesnt kill you makes you stronger!
