Don't let what happened to me happen to you. My self esteem took a huge hit and I'm only real winging it at the moment. I'm doing fine nw, but I wish I didn't lose to the bullies. As soon as school is over, everything gets easier. Adults are extremely less likely to bully you for it, so just bide your time. Study as hard as you can. Don't worry so much about friends, one or two will do, that will come later. There's little you can do to fix a stutter. It will get better with time and if you're anything like me, finishing school and a change of environment will do wonders. TLDR... Study hard and bide your time. It will get better.
