I would suggest that you disclose your stutter to your interviewers so they are aware. I'm also 22, and I just landed a job as a software engineer. I don't think I would've gotten the job if I didn't ...

I hear you. I do private corner phone calls ALL the time! As for being a parent - when you become one - it will come naturally. You will want to pass on your values and build character in the childr...

If the person brings up the speech impediment, don’t say something like “that’s ok.” I feel that it’s better to just say “ok.” When I tell people that I stutter, I’m not apologizing or looking for va...

Not all stutters are alike and are at different levels of comfort with their disability. Some don’t want want to acknowledge it, some really want to address the elephant in the room so they can move o...

If he's already at ease about it, you don't need to do anything. ;) But if it turns out over the course of time that he's somehow not at ease about it, you could suggest a conversation of some sort. ...

Similar age and I'm in the same boat. I've never tried because I was afraid of blocking and screwing up. I think the best course of action is to just be upfront about it. They'll find anyway so you ma...

They never really make fun of me, but like at my unit we do roll call everyday and almost every day I tend to stutter during the roll call shouting “I’m here”. Sometimes I get laughed at or when we ha...

Wow that’s amazing, i’m happy your parents were so supportive! I’ll definitely try not to avoid my stutter when i’m talking to them and hopefully will tell them soon...

In my case, Im 15 years old and 2 weeks ago I told them, they noticed that I was slow to talk, but they didnt really know, they felt some guilt but its normal for any problem, dont worry Talking with...

If there's an elephant in the room, _you need to talk about the elephant_. This concerns your mental health. :)...

If you feel like your parents would be supportive, my advice would be to talk to them about your problem Tell them how much it affects you, and practice with them. Pick a book or something to read an...

Alright. This may seem like a silly question, but - what's the hindrance, then? It's not a secret that you stutter, and you can take your time with it. Sounds like you're in a good spot to make the pr...

I had the same fears going in, but I informed the examiner of my stutter just before the speaking test and he was so cool about it. It will be you and the examiner alone in a room with no external pre...
