I have been talking better lately and would like to share I was a severe stutterer starting at about age 13 and lasting until recently (I'm 19). I'm the kind of stutterer that could talk perfect when ...

Put your focus on what you want to say and not how you're going to say it. You can't control if it's going to be easy or tough in terms of speech, so just keep your mind on your answers and not on you...

I'm 27 and have been a severe stutterer for as long as I can remember. My 7 year old son thankfully doesn't stutter and talks every second he can. As annoying as it can be at times, I love hearing his...
