Just a kind of journal entry, trying to describe the alienation of school life which I experienced because of my stutter. I wasn't really sure where to post it, I just wanted to share what was going o...

Nervous for first meeting tomorrow?

Nervous for first meeting tomorrow? Hi! So right now I am interning in a lab and have to present the experiments/research I have done in the past few weeks for my first lab meeting. I just needed some...

Are you able to see a speech therapist? They can only do so much. I know that at your age it can be very difficult. Kids can be cruel and teachers can be insensitive. I did a lot in college to overcom...

Moving away wasn't difficult, mainly because I have lots of hobbies to keep me busy - uni is always promoted as just one big party, for some it might be, but there'll be times when you'll be alone, so...

Ah thanks for the advice, it's nice to meet someone whos nearly in the same position as me. My teacher warned me about the influx of posh people and i know how they are like haha but he also said to j...

Your from london just like me! Im in my 1st year of university, my stuttering didn't really affect me much when I started - infact I did a presentation afew weeks ago that I was shitting myself about ...

I play Magic: The Gathering and it involves a lot of talking. I use it as practice for when I go out or somewhere where a stutter can be embarrassing. Trust me, the people who are playing with you don...

I avoided airsoft after the first time I did it. It involved so many call outs and communicating, that it was impossible for me to be worthwhile to a team. Alternatively, when i talk over online gamin...

I used to be really into Counter-Strike Source and CSGO. I think that's what really helped improve my speech in High School. Was nice to have my stutter not really show up when talking with a mic wh...

I lose my train of thought all the time while talking and start to jibber jabber about...or stumble over my words. I attribute it to my diagnosed ADHD taking over, especially when I'm in a situation ...

How do you practice reading aloud? I'm totally fluent then, but can't seem to carry it over when I actually talk to others....

Honestly, I've never posted on one of these before but I will today. I've had a horrible week apart from getting off college for the summer. I have 2 weeks work experience now, the first day was today...

My advice is to tell your teachers you stutter even before classes start. I have a form letter that I send out to all my professors warning them that I stutter and also letting them know that I have...

Good luck. I can say my first name, but not my last (without considerable difficulty), and it's a very difficult name to pronounce so everybody always asks me to say it for them. Needless to say, this...

See if there is a stutter group, or see if you can get speech therapy on campus. If you have any questions during class and can't say them in class, go to the professor's office and ask them there. P...

Thanks man, I am currently trying to balance schoolwork and online programming classes but is getting harder and harder, I think I can manage it though. Same with music, although I haven't played guit...

I'm not sure if I stutter because I am shy or I am shy because I stutter.

I'm not sure if I stutter because I am shy or I am shy because I stutter. when I am talking out loud to myself I don't stutter at all...

It gets better after high school trust me on this. On the other hand if you decide to join the military like I did its only bad when your drill sergeant makes fun of you in basic training. But most o...

Fuck bro! It is as if I wrote your post. I feel exactly the same. I always ask why must I stutter? Why not some other guy. Why the fuck me!? Im not in school anymore though. But school was hell. I nev...

That's a familiar story. High school was a total nightmare for me. I was mute in class as well. I also didn't do any of the classwork, so I had some teachers assume I was mentally challenged and they ...
