I'm very glad you decided to stay in the class! I have an issue particularly with blocking in classroom settings. I have always avoided taking classes that require a lot of speaking in front of the wh...

College Stuttering Thread Hey guys, I'm a college student who struggles heavily with stuttering and blocking, particularly over the phone and in classroom settings. It comes and goes in waves. Some da...

Suggestions for choral activity

Suggestions for choral activity We are very lucky to have a supportive teacher. My son has been doing oral presentations in class and so far he feels really good about communicating successfully. Wh...

I'm coming late to this, but just wanted to say that I totally understand. I hope that you stayed in the class, and spoke to the teacher. I remember a writing class that I REALLY wanted to take once, ...

Hey bud. Don't feel this way! Yeah you shouldn't. Well, I find it a little better than speaking to a large group of people where there are more eyes on you yes? So the less people, the better. Will ...

I dropped out of and even failed classes in college due to the anxiety of speaking in class. I kept the class and just didn't show up to do my presentation - would not recommend. While it hasn't held ...

I'm considering dropping a class because it's very speech heavy and has mandatory presentations. Thoughts?

I'm considering dropping a class because it's very speech heavy and has mandatory presentations. Thoughts? I have a history class this semester and it's _very_ speech heavy: there are participation po...

21 years old Italian stutterer here, been one since 6-7 years old. It's true, you probably can't get rid of stuttering completely, but you can improve, build up confidence and silence your thoughts a...

I'll give it a try. I have job interviews coming up and I'm starting a new semester in college. Also I've missed out on way too many grilled onions in my life....

Gaming - Team Voice Chat in Overwatch

Gaming - Team Voice Chat in Overwatch There's nothing quite like an entire team using voice comms to work together and dominate the enemy team. It can be challenging with a stutter though. For those t...

I can remember doing a presentation back in 7th grade, and I was quite nervous about it. When I was called to go, I went, and that’s where it went south. About halfway through my speech, my teacher co...

Like everyone else says, this too will pass. I find when I get more sleep I stutter less, when I am more confident I stutter less and when I am relaxed I stutter less. Try to see if you have a problem...

But....it’s nice to be acknowledged. For those crappy days can you text your responses to the teacher or ask them to have a shared google doc open on their computer? There are days when speaking just...

You need an IEP. What state do you live in? You have the right to ask your School to do a full evaluation. Get your parents to ask. You can send your parents to me and I can walk them through that pr...

Im 35 and the thing i regret most is not doing my best in high school just because i was afraid of my stutter. All those people wont matter after high school trust me. With teachers just write out a n...

When was that time you ran away and regretted it?

When was that time you ran away and regretted it? I've stuttered since i was 6 and have had some pretty bad experiences (mostly in middle and high school) that didn't do well for my self-esteem and co...

My recommendation is martial arts, especially if your school has courses. You get to interface with new people in non-verbal ways, build confidence, and depending on the style and instructor you'll le...

Congrats!! Thank you for the advice. Having presentations in school is always rough. In sophomore year of college I had to take an oral presentation class, which I absolutely dreaded. The only thing t...

The pain is so real LOL What makes it worse, is that if your stuttering takes over, it can leave such a bad first impression with your classmates. ...

"speech isn't everything"...it's kinda hard to swallow that because reality is much much different. Yes people have no clue about us stutters, but no one can blame them, and it hurts that no one's re...
