22 yo here. I'm currently a electrical engineer working on a telecommunications company and living with my boyfriend in a lovely apartment in Brazil with our two cats. And I still stutter, but that's OK. I'm not defined by my stutter. To get my current job, the HR laughed a little when I stuttered but I told her my condition and we continued normally after. The interview was an hour long, and you can be sure I stuttered, but I still got the job. I know in our teenage years stuttering is like a big part of everything we do because most of our activities are centered around social interactions, but it really does get better. You are so much more than your stutter. I have still a long way to complete fluency, but to acknowledge that I stutter and it's OK helped a lot.
