Well unfortunately most stutters have no cure, and they don't *just* occur when you're nervous, but that's usually when it's hardest. It's a lifelong struggle. But therapies can help it, and there are many techniques to help overcome blocks in speech. You need to get diagnosed so a professional can hear your stutter, then give you proper advice. My best personal advice, generally, is to stay focused on your breathing. Steady, paced breathing is key. If you're getting bullied, of course tell a teacher first and make sure they're aware of your stutter so they can defend you. Bullies love when their victims are weak, so show your strength by not letting them hurt you. If you don't react and just ignore them, they'll get bored. But also remember that some students are just going to be really confused - lots of people have never heard a stutter in person. It's important to let them know that you have a stutter if they ask, don't be afraid to talk about it - people want to learn. They need to. Good luck with school! Stutters build character.
