It's worse when they ask to read the syllabus aloud. It kills me. I hate, hate the first days of class....

Oh God yes. Exactly what you said. Terribly embarrassing. I called my therapist a few weeks ago and left a message saying something like this "Hi, this is ummm, uhh, ummm, umm umm ummm sioux4...." I a...

Nice! Sadly, I've still got 2 years of HS (including this yr) so my mom would definitely know....

I do when I get really stressed...

I will definitely do this. You totally captured how it is in the moment. I'll just practice what I want to say and say it sloooowly. ...

Thanks a bunch!...

Ha! As though my mom would ever let me do that! I think it would be nice sometimes but I know I have to face my fears eventually. ...

Wow! That's is awesome good for you and thank you very much!...

Thanks for sharing , that's quite intresting!...

I arranged a meeting with my teachers and counsellor and it made it feel so much better for me in class! The psychological part of stuttering can certainly be the worst part. Strongly recommend it! ...

Which is why I never show up on the first day....
