I'm saddened by this. I don't stutter. I've seen someone be hurtful to another person who had a stammer, when I was a young teen. I've never forgotten the hatred I feel for that guy. Still do. I hav...

I had this same viewpoint all throughout highschool (and still sometimes now. Customer service jobs yanno) but my coworkers and my newfound group of friends don’t treat me like a freak or make me feel...
