Your situation feels very familiar to the one i was in when I started university. When i started studying journalism, i hadn’t actually taken therapy yet and I was still a stuttering mess. I recommend...

I would try not to put so much pressure on yourself. You don't have to talk to be a friendly person with kind energy. People in college are pretty open and accepting. More accepting than you are of yo...

I’m sorry about this. But I want to say that University gave me a new found confidence in myself and my stuttering. College tends to house a lot more open minded individuals, and it is a chance for y...

This was very traumatic for me and that's why I missed the first 2 days of school plus when I had to read out loud, I would excuse myself and go the boys restroom and hang out in the stall. For me,...

The best thing you can do is, is let your parents know & tell them to tell all your class teachers so they can accommodate you better. You’re only 13 yet, I left college due to my stutter because ...

I'm not sure this is the right place to vet your essay. Most of us can identify the concepts you've expressed, but this is your college essay. It's not probable that it will be received by a person ex...

Having a stutter in school is tough. Just remember that it's a much smaller world in school than adult life. Not everyone will know you, see you every day, or even care about you to be honest. School ...

Yea, I don't think that will ever change. Your image is super important at that age. I dealt with all the snickers and teasing back then. It went away once college came around and people can look past...

Thank you! I hope it will only be better after I finally graduate from high school this year. Less pressure and stuff. I feel like people my age are more judgemental...

Thank you so much!! I always try to tell people beforehand that I stutter, but in a school environment it can be embarrassing...

I have a very severe stutter, like I can barely speak when I am very anxious. I reported to my departments disability officer, and I was exempt from grading on Oral exams. So basically I got a flat 70...

You’re defending your thesis and the people you’re defending it to don’t already know? Aren’t they your faculty? Regardless, go for it. Can only help you....

One thing I remember very clearly (again, this was 40 years ago) was that I was encouraged to read books way above my age/grade. I was put in an advanced reading group in school for no other reason th...

W’s sucked really hard for me as well! I also remember T’s and oh my god I HATED R’s! Every day I used to dread when the teachers had us read aloud to the class. I literally wanted to vomit because I ...

Should I do Communications in university?

Should I do Communications in university? I have to decide in 24 hours. I can do either Communications or History. I like both but I think Communications will be much more useful in general. For life ...

Stuttering can certainly be contextual though. For example some people only mainly stammer at school and work and not so much with their family...

Stuttering student in top colleges/Universities? I'm a female stutterer/stammerer( have it under control except for some syllables like my name). I wanted to know if there are stuttering students in t...

I understand how you feel growing up I DREADED school especially high school kids are the worst and it’s like teachers knew I stuttered but would still call on me to read aloud giving me intense anxie...

I was in your shoes when I was in high school. I gave up on trying to speak and just slipped through high school and my undergrad without uttering a word unless I had to. I had a couple really good fr...
