I went to school in the United States, so I don't know if this would apply where you may be from and/or going to school. To reduce many of the issues regarding my stuttering, I purposely had a lette...

Trust me, having no friends is better than this. I found some friends at a stuttering self-help group. Does your town also have one ? This might be a good place to start ! If you want to make an eff...

Get new friends. I have plenty of people in my life who don't mock it and are patient. I'd rather be lonely than have friends who hate me for something I can't control....

I'm pretty sure you dare not mock them on their flows or goofy character or they'd get pissed. Reflect on that, friendships, even for men/boys aren't about putting someone down over something they can...

Get new friends, simple as that. I'm fortunate to have great friends who won't cross that line as it's the only thing I'm insecure about. Find people that will respect you...

If they are mocking you, then let it roll and give them an abusive earful. And if you have to eat it by having no friends, then break whatever bars are imprisoning you and force yourself to make new f...

Be direct, be straight forward, and tell them that their mocking of youd disability is not appreciated. Its no different than mocking a kid in a wheel chair. If they can't handle that, then it sounds...

I’m the son of a stutterer, a stutterer myself, and father of a stutterer (my daughter is 18 now). First bit of advice is the hardest: don’t panic. Your child will pick up your anxiety about stutter...

It's interesting...I'll occasionally answer for us when we're spoken to-like we're out to eat and the waiter takes our order- but I'm careful about not finishing his sentences for him. I assumed it wo...

During my college days the professor would take roll call for attendance and I would sometimes not be able to say “present” in time and would be marked absent. So I can relate to these type of situati...

One more thing, at this point these people deserve to be cancelled. With how much my stuttering has been used against me, even when reporting it to HR when people mimic it and keep doing so after I ta...

He has started stuttering less with me over time, and has said he stutters less around me and that feels nice. As far as me taking over in public- I usually don't. I feel like that would kind of be ta...

I thought the professor carved out time to speak with him after class and apologized. Why isn't that good enough for you? Surely if the professor doesn't correct his behavior, it's worth a report. T...

If it happens again then I'd say it's probably worth reporting. But it sounds like by the professor apologizing to you and the class that he probably feels bad. Many times I've had people chuckle beca...

But these mistakes aren’t okay when it comes to other discriminatory groups, that’s the problem I have with it. If speaking with his professor one on one doesn’t change anything then he needs to repor...
