Why should I work on my speech? I was born this way. Is there something wrong with me being the way I am? You're basically saying that, people who stutter, across the board, just need to work harder if they want to improve their speech. You must have a very mild stutter. For a lot of people, it doesn't matter what they do. It doesn't matter how many hours I put into it. It is always going to be there and I resent the hell out of anyone who tries to say, I'm just not trying hard enough.
