I'm tired of stuttering and seemingly lack of research on stuttering. So I decided to get a bachelor's degree in psychology.

Genetic? **NO!** There appears to be genetic factors that can contribute to stuttering, but no one is born with a stutter. Speech is learned. It's a developmental process. Genetics can influence one...
