I have a problem Hello everyone! I’m a 16 old male. In the end of this month I will start high school here in Sweden. And I as you probably know have a stutter. I have actually gotten better over the years of speaking Swedish without stuttering to much. I have a mild to medium stutter when I talk in Swedish. My old friends doesn’t care and they’re used of this. They probably just thinks this is the way I talk. But when I speaks English as a second language a start stuttering more. And actually a lot more (like medium or even more). I will start a new school in 17 days and I am afraid of stuttering in front of my new class. And I think they all will notice as soon as I start speaking English in class. I’ve stuttered a lot during my past English classes in my old class, but those people have known me from childhood. And I have been laughed at during those classes and that have caused me to be more afraid of stuttering in front of new people, and especially people I will spend the next 3 years with. If any of you have any ideas that might help, or if you just want to share any similar stories, I’m all open. Thank you for reading this! Have a great day/night!
