I'm not sure why this is happening So I'm a teenager, I've never had a problem with stuttering before in my whole life. I have zero history of it. But for some reason, last month I started stuttering and not the cute kind. The one where I can't even push the words out and I struggle to form sentences. People are making fun of me everyday for it at school. Sometimes its so bad I just shut up. My dad is even suspecting that Im faking it for attention since it hasn't been a problem before so, why now? He just told me to "stop it because it's ridiculous and I'll end up regretting it". I mean I understand him but like, I can't ? I have no idea why this is happening but I did get hit by a car pretty hard last year but Im not sure it's related because it has been a year and its only happening now. Anyway if some of y'all have any idea why this could be happening, I'd really appreciate. Goodnight
