Yeah bro we are all just normal ppl trying to make it through life. Stuttering seems like one of the only handicaps that people think it's ok with making fun of to people's faces & it's sad because for alot of us life is 10x harder than the avg. Person. And yeah maybe being taller helps 😂..I'm 5'10 and was skinny/athletic body type in school and I had a really rough time dealing with bullies. Even when I fought back ppl didn't want to leave me tf alone. After HS I gained like 50lbs., got jacked in a few years and started taking boxing & mma very seriously. And even then some idiots some idiots would still try and start shit with me even though I'm naturally a very friendly, good natured person. Your very lucky bro that you where left alone, because some stutterers like myself have ptsd from the torment, but I used my anger to better myself as best I could. Maybe your alot younger than me tho, bc I'm almost mid 30s. I feel like back in the late 90s early/mid 2000s nobody cared about bullying as much as this generation. But with girls height I think plays even more of a role in respect than being inshape. I've noticed that short girls treat me alot better than some of the taller conceited spoiled girls. But not every girl is the same ofcourse I actually dated a 6 ft. 1 girl once & she was the sweetest most accepting of them all. Anyway keep on Killin it out there bro! it's good to see one of us out there succeeding & livin they're best life 💪
