I think its not a good idea to rely on it heavily, but for first day of school, stuff like that, I dint see a big problem. Your stutter may relax as you get older anyway. You sort of realize with a...

Hey, I would say that there is no place where there is a "high education" about stuttering. People rarely open up about it, and 1% isn't really common. Personally, I try to open up about it quite ofte...

More proof that we get in our own heads sooo much. If we can get out of them, it's not that the stutter doesn't go away, but it does lessen because we care less. Love this story....
