That's my story, first time sharing this with anyone

That's my story, first time sharing this with anyone I've been stuttering for as long as I can remember, I was severely bullied and made fun of from grade 1 till grade 8, which caused me a lot of psychological problems, and made me hate people and talk with almost no one, because I though everyone was like that, then in grade 9 people matured enough to know that they're a**holes for making fun of a problem like this that you can't control. When I was 4 years old, my mom asked a lot of doctors and they all recommended her to send me to a speech therapist, but she didn't cause my father didn't believe that going to a therapist was gonna help, and he always said that when I become older it would cure itself (perfect example of total ignorance and bad parenting). I have no idea why it started, but maybe cause I lived in a stressful environment (I'd rather not talk about it in), and I was very, very shy. It made me a very calm person, not because I wanted to be that way, it's because I'd rather not talk as much as I can cause I'd feel very embarrassed when I do, all that made me uncomfortable when doing very simple tasks like ordering food, talking in front of a group of people, start a relationship and make new friends and it made me lose self confidence which hurts the most. Now I'm 17, I stutter less than I used to (I still do, especially in public and with new people), made lots of friends, worked hard to become less shy (I still am a little), gained some confidence, and overall improved many things that I was struggling with in the past, but I still have a lot to do, this summer before starting my first University year, I will finally go to a speech therapist (I don't even know if that's gonna help me at this age but I'll try) and I don't even care if my dad says no cause I have the right to at least get professional help in a problem that I've had for all my life. I felt like sharing this for the first time ever and if you're reading this I wish you the best of luck and hope you can overcome your problems and fix them, and f the people who make fun of such a sensitive thing.
