I love these questions. I am still not 100% at peace with my stutter, it still gets me down sometimes and I still hate answering the phone, but acceptance, even partial acceptance has made it feel lik...

Have you ever tried speech therapy? It may be helpful. It has helped me a lot over the years. The techniques, if used properly, are very useful. You will absolutely survive. People in college are ma...

No, I'm from Macedonia. But I like Russian names. My kids will have Russian names :) You know, I don't think I always stuttered. When I was kid, I didn't care that much because of my stutter, but when...

Being honest about it helps (with yourself and with others). It really reduces the pressure to be fluent. I stutter and I'm a writer and a manager. I'm doing pretty well for myself. I think being unab...

TLDR: Learn to accept and embrace your stutter and people won't care about your speech, period. I consider my stutter to be severe (frequent blocks with facial secondary characteristiics, etc). I am...

What have been your best successes against your stutter?

What have been your best successes against your stutter? There's been a bit of negativity in this sub lately so I thought I'd post a positive discussion. What have been your best successes against you...

When I say simulation, I mean exactly that. If you've ever tried VR, it's pretty amazing and immersive. Head-tracking, immersive field of vision, real world scaling all aid to make whatever it is th...

>simulate a public speaking environment Is there some sort of random element to it, or are you merely rehearsing stuff? It doesn't sound to me like a simulation could properly account for reality....

I'm a senior in high school and the worst thing is reading aloud in front of the class. I've told my teachers multiple times throughout the years to avoid calling on me to read something aloud, and so...

Ask your teacher if you can get extra time during the exam. I'm currently choosing GCSE options and asked my French teacher if I could, and she spoke to the exam board and I can have unlimited extra t...

I wish people around me held my feet to the fire more. I had a few teachers who let me give presentations alone to them, instead of in front of the class, for example. I benefitted massively from fina...

Bonjour! My advice is everyone else's. Try and stomache up the courage to tell your teacher. They should understand and try and work with you on a solution. Edit: If you're in college, you will pro...

Dude, tell your teacher and let them know you're concerned! They would be incredibly shallow to mark you down on fluency for having a stutter. Seriously, tell them ASAP before you build up even more a...

Does your teacher know about your stutter? If not, let him or her know, they'll most likely be fine with it. I had the same thing for my German class, the teacher let me go slow and ignored the stutte...
