Is it just me?

Is it just me? 4 years ago, back in 6th grade, I noticed I developed a mild stutter. It wasn't always there, but it was present enough to really shake my confidence and make me speak only when I had to. However, I noticed that whenever I stuttered no one would comment on it or make fun of me, unless it was really egregious. I even told my parents about my struggles with stuttering and they were quite surprised themselves, they said that I, like everyone else, stutter a little bit, but they never thought of it as a problem for me. So, I'm wondering, could this "stuttering problem" be more in my head than in reality? How can I fight it, because it really is making me filter more and more what I want to say? Thanks
