Not to be blunt, but there are two things we must always ask with a post like yours: • Have you talked to your school about the fact that you have a stutter? • Have you been to see a speech therapist yet? - I'd also like to give you some perspective - some of it you will not like, and some of it you will like: I'm 43 and I still stutter. Some days I stutter more than others. Some days I barely notice that I stutter. It can switch on a dime, really, because that's what stutter can be like: Variant and unpredictable. It's an ongoing struggle. But I have a great job where I communicate most all the time with all sorts of people in all sorts of ways about all sorts of things. I get to talk so much - and those around me are good and decent people who just want to hear what I have to say. - So you see, it's not _crucial_ that you "get rid of this thing". The crucial thing is that you deal with it - and some of that is done by seeing what you can do to influence your surroundings, and some of it is done by seeing what you can do to influence yourself. That's why the above questions are important. :)
