I’v had a stutter ever since i was at-least 6, I am now 24. The trick is to really overcome it as patronising as that may seem, Don’t get me wrong i have bad days where i can’t even get a word out or i lose breath trying to say something requiring me to start again. But i just get on with it and i look at it like if i didn’t have this stutter i wouldn’t be me. You get one shot at life, don’t let something as daft as a stutter dictate it. Life is so much more. Chances are you may grow old and have so many things you could of done if you just ignored it like asked that girl out or went for that job interview. If people laugh or mock who gives a shit they are the main character in their ‘story’ they probably won’t think about you the next day.
