You should know all of this is completely normal. Most stutterers have physical manifestations, and eyes closing/twitching is probably the most common. I agree with natabean that disclosing your stutt...

When I was in school (I’m 27 now) I felt the way you do. I tried so hard to hide my stutter, avoiding presentations and never answering questions in class. I eventually had my parents get me a 504, wh...

I am English, but I am learning French and was just wondering. It is very interesting for you to say that you find presentations easy because a lot of us find them very daunting. ...

If you're in school it's usually pretty easy. You can just go up to a girl and ask her about a class, ask her if she's ready for a test coming up, ask what other classes she has, if she's in any clubs...

How do you first approach them? I am still in highschool and I really have no idea on how to do this....

Thanks for watching! And maybe, I'd love to one day write a feature drawing on my experiences at school with a stutter. Maybe one day, we'll see :\) ...

I've done all my class presentations without accommodation all my life. However, that particular semester my speech was affecting me more than usual. I had less confidence in my ability to present and...

I'm in the same boat. I'm 21 yo and my stutter seems to get worse these past few years. Usually this happens for me when my surroundings change, like when I went to university or when I changed school...

I am a big advocate of disclosing your stutter. If you want to make an even better impression, take the time and tell the teacher in person. Not only does it show character in your part, but it buil...

Another interview ruined.

Another interview ruined. I just came back from an interview for a board position in a Pre-Dental club at my college. I was applying for fundraising chair since I thought our fundraisers were the same...

Gotcha. You should ask your parents if they're ever known you too stutter or repeat yourself when you were learning to talk or young in general. Thing is - most people have dysfluencies but most peop...

I spent a lot of years in academia (as in, _university_ - "high school" isn't academia where I come from). Great years, was quite fine. Although I'm not quite sure what you're asking about, I guess?...

You ever watch G.I. Joe cartoons when you were a kid, knowing is half the battle, then you gotta figure out how many other factors go into it. At some point it may go exponentially which is why some s...

Is he in public school? If so, then you may be able to get him tested and into speech therapy if your school district has the resources available. My mother was in the same position as you were (singl...

Very cool, a stutter twin : ) Yeaahh I think so too... When I was in high school I had an oral exam and I had to give a talk about something and I practiced a lot at home but I couldn't say a word...

I checked with my school and my school does not offer speech therapy:( I will have to find one through my insurance. My stutter has to do with “head game” as well. I block up when I meet new people ...

Afraid to stutter at my new job.

Afraid to stutter at my new job. So I started stuttering when I was a kid in elementary school. At first it was probably a phase. But due to being bullied at school it kinda stuck longer. I eventual...

Great advice, thanks. Definitely do think the elongating thing helps for me. It does sound natural if done in the right way and not quite like Dory haha I think that having stuttered for so long, I'v...

I've read through this thread, and I'd just like to chime in that I'm a high school teacher with a moderate-to-severe stutter. I've been at it for almost 20 years, and no it isn't 100% perfect all of ...
