So many kids just say "why do you sound like *insert best stuttering impression*" it's so funny...

That's good. But at your age that's expected. I sure had my share of BS around your age. Just watch out those kids dont start making fun of you everyday..But eventually hopefully you never experience ...

I hear you. They laugh because they’re uncomfortable or don’t know. Both are varying degrees of ignorant / innocent. I hope you can stay positive....

I'm a college student and at times of attendance I stutter (_block_block_ yes sir) and students around me laugh But now I don't care, I'm trying my best to focus on my studies...

In my experience if people don't know I stutter they laugh because they don't know what's going on & why I sound stupid & can't talk...I get it but it's still a rude ass thing to do...but if 9...

People’s reactions can be so hurtful. I’m sorry. If it helps: their reactions say everything about them and nothing about you....

I once had a toddler inform me that my “voice goes brrrrrrrrr”. Had another toddler insist that I was speaking Spanish. I wasn’t, just English. Apparently the kid had a friend who only spoke Spanish ...

I was mocked by even the teachers when I stuttered so I relate with you...

I was bullied when I was a kid- 1980s USA. By the 7th grade bullies and I usually became friends bc it hurt to open their mouths after a good punch or two… we realized we both had issues and became ...

To stutter is one thing. The bullying/side effects of stuttering are another. Both are real. They feed each other. The world is not always kind when it’s needed most...

I am angry

I am angry I hate my stutter. I hate it so much. I can never be me and say what I want to say because I know I'll just mess it up. I can't give a presentation without at least one person grimacing the...

Your experience is terrible. I’m so sorry this happened to you. I believe that what you were told is likely illegal depending on the laws where you are. Can you use this terrible treatment to report t...

Trauma from bullying

Trauma from bullying Like a lot of people who were born with a stutter, I have been subjected to bullying all my life. From the start of preschool I’ve have had people mock and and make fun of me. Thi...

Thanks! I luckily was never bullied for my stutter, which also helped. I was so afraid to high school (age 12), because what if people made fun of me for my stutter? But it was all in my hand. People ...

yep, portuguese/english, severe stutter in both. I had a hard time trying to learn english in a "normal" classroom... I was being humilhated just by the fact that I existed in there...

I got bullied when I was 6, and it triggered my stutter. People told me that it would go away, but luckily my parents were looking at it realistically and prepared me for the fact that it might not go...

Maybe you re right, but maybe you re lucky to have a classmate who stutters more than you do, and they focus on him. Also could you say the same if you were something like 10 years younger at school ?...

there was that one asshole who said "this is not a hospital. you call the wrong number." before hanging up....

Maybe there is a language issue here. But the phrase "You have a disability card?" I misunderstood what you were saying. There is a phrase in the US "that person is playing the race card, " or "Dis...
