Why fix the person not the problem So I was born with a stuttering problem that has gotten better with time a few months ago my sister said it was my fault and that I wasn't trying hard enough to get rid of it. Just to let you know my stutter never bothered me because I had multiple speech problems and I was in Speech therapy before I went to kindergarten. My older sister said that in front of our parents and they did not care cause they never paid attention to me and my sister's arguments. It wasn't until night time my mother noticed something was wrong with me. I cried for at least 3 days and during those days my mother never said anything to my sisters. She just told me to ignore them and do not give them a piece of mind but she never corrected them for those 2 days when it came to the time I was ok with talking to them about it. My mother treated it like it was an everyday thing, my mother. She said that at some parts they were right and that before I talk to think about it (which is a myth btw) the way I can avoid stuttering and that once I stutter I should just stop talking and calm down. I compare my stuttering to running on a floor covered in oil once you slip you can stop your self from falling. So when it comes to things like this and when you are getting made fun of by your sister and other people why do parents try to fix you and not the problem.
