But I've been there in high school. It'll get better , get involved with some form of in school or out of school activities, speak out more, and your peers will laugh and crack jokes, but don't take anything to heart because you won't ever have to see those people when you go home or after graduation lol. And in those rare occasions where I do encounter someone who can't see me beyond my stutter, then I count my blessings because I don't need shitty people like that in my life anyways. I'm of this very simple mentality. I am who I am, I am much more than my stutter and anyone who struggles to see that, didn't deserve me anyways..
