So, your question is complicated. Most people do have dysfluencies in their regular speech. 99% of people are so slight that most won't notice. Many children will see their stuttering decrease through adolescence, but it never/rarely disappears permanently. Sometimes it gets a little worse in your teen years, my guess is the overload off hormones... A little speech therapy may be helpful, you'll want a therapist that is familiar with stuttering, not all are.. I don't know you but I suspect that your stuttering is/will be a pretty minor factor in your life. Don't let it get to you. I swear the psychological aspect of stuttering is the worst.
