I agree with others and think you should present. You want to think fondly on you experience that you persevered! A few people will make fun of you. I am 53 and adult still make fun of me. Some pe...

hey man, school sucks. I got laughed at and bullied. Kids are mean. I'm 24 now and work full time and I don't even think about how I was knocked down as a kid because of my stutter. My employees under...

How awful of them, I'm sorry that happened to you. It's been very rare in my adulthood to have people actually laugh, and when they do it's because they had no idea stuttering was even a thing. "I d...

I had this one teacher that used to think that everytime I would stutter, I would be telling a lie and it annoyed me....

I don't much care anymore what people think.. I announce I have a speech impediment if it's someone new and I'm having a bad day.. they can choose to not conversate with me and that's fine. But.. tha...

That was an innocent question , plus rubbing off of stammering is a possibility because you unconsciously start mimicking your closed ones . Be kind and get some fact check done ....

These are 50/50 either the kindest people who truly don't want to other you OR people who for sure noticed and at least held back from making fun. There's an old lady who comes in my job and laughs ...

Oh yeah I got a 2/5 star review that's keeping me in a horrible department. She waited 8mo to give me my 6mo review putting me at great disadvantage. This stuck up lady brings up a problem and I wan...

I've had this happen many times to the point I'm almost mute now, I hate talking to people for this very reason. Being impatient, straight up bullying and excluding in work, school and even at home. I...

I'm glad I don't feel alone in this. I think it's people's go-to phrase because they think it's what stutterers want to hear – so their intentions are in the right place, but as you said it comes acro...

I feel like they usually seem to be well intentioned when they say it but it's like, why even say it at all? In other contexts it would be a weird response. "I have a birth mark on my leg." "I didn't ...

It is Caby. I wouldn’t wish it for my worst enemy. Sometimes people are just mean about it that I want them to experience it first hand. Selfish, I know....

I think speech therapy is BS. It never worked for me but I also went through it back in the late 80s and 90s. The only thing that worked for me was getting a job that exposed me to people. I had a jo...

I had a professor do that in front of a 90 person class once. He called on me and asked my name; I blocked but finally said it, repeating the first sound a few times; he copied it. I and the other 89 ...

My Mom used to scream at me "Quit STUTTERING!!!!! Good god" all the time. I remember it perfectly. She would not accept it period even though her husband and her father both stuttered (not bad though)...

Similar history as what I experienced. Sorry. It sucks. Though, being an adult PWS is a entirely different ball game. No more shame. Just be open about having “bad days.” And if they still want to be ...

I think this is where stammering goes from being a hidden disability, to straight out detrimental to one's life & financial situation. Sadly there is a stigma against ppl who stammer and job inter...

People won't be judgemental until it's huge block. Once we block for 2/3sec they really laugh at us....

I'm my experience they do not understand. I don't think any fluent person unless someone they know has struggled can overcome the ignorance fluent people enjoy. (This comment turned into a VENT hope...

OMG, my father hated that I stuttered. He was embarrassed of it. When I would stutter, he used to yell so loud “what the hell is the matter with you? Where did I go wrong? Spit it out Gd dammit!” The ...
