I too also stutter it truely did bother me and I always felt that I was essentially a waste of skin. After graduating school and landing my first real job the stuffer was never an issue. Flash forward many years and I am a successful image consultant in Toronto. I was married to a lovely and professionally employed lady and the very proud father. I still have some difficulties getting words out but I realized o am only human and I am not perfect and people pay me a lot of money for my opinion and my help. When you go to your first class reunion all this people that bullied you or made fun of you will seek you out to apologize
