Dick heads. You don't deserve that intimidation at all. You are just like them and they probably have problems of their own. I hate when people snigger or ask: "Why do you go e-e-e-e-e." which is us...

But I usually get too nervous or excited and then I lose my breath or breathe too much. I have in the past when I was a bit younger, presented speeches and not stuttered but now that I'm older I think...

I enjoy talking about my stutter but I never ever bring it up. To me it's like an obese person talking about his/her obesity. It seems to put the other person in an awkward position. I welcome questio...
