I was in your same exact place. I also have a mild stutter, and I speak well most of the time. But I was terrified to read out loud during class. To answer your question… If you would like to, you c...

That's really scary. Since your dad's a doctor, did you ask him about any kind of anxiety medications that you can take? High blood pressure is really dangerous. We also have a device for measuring bp...

I reeeeeally think bringing this up to your school administration is a good idea. You can't help stuttering. It's not fair to be given lower marks for it. If someone had a bad lisp, would the teacher ...

I second asking the teacher in private. But also don't worry about failing, they can't sick you points because you have a speech impediment. If the substance of the speech is good, you'll still have a...
