I get it and I agree. I'm tired of being perceived as slow and stupid, which is unfortunately still the way some people see PWSs. And the comments are even worse "diD YoU ForGeT YoUr NaMe?" Still, do...

That was hard to read because you're describing what it was like for me. It was at this time though that I went to speech therapy for the second time. I am Australian though, so it was free but if yo...

>Bullys like reaction. Do not react to it. Well, it does not work this way. The Bullys will increase the bulling until they get a reaction. I would suggest learing some box or something and kick ...

I am a white man from a white country and white kids did the same to me. Maybe is the word "white" not as imporant as the word "kids" in this context?...

my disability has defeated me.

my disability has defeated me. i (22f) have stuttered all my life. it never caused me problems growing up, i was never bullied because of my stutter (i even had friends in my childhood and i am so gra...

Im glad you’re doing a bit better. It may backfire but if you’re certain they’re making fun of you, I’d flip them off. Its a clear message that you can’t stutter on...

Sticks and stones brother. The less you care the fewer power people have over you. Whenever I start worrying about the opinions of others, I ask myself can this physically harm me in any way, shape, o...

This made me almost cry reading this because this is how high school was for me. I feel for you because it’s absolute shit. I remember being your age and posting the exact same stuff on this sub. Lo...

Not sure why race has anything to do with what happened to you. Unfortunately kids are jerks and they play off each other. You’ll be better off not playing into it even if it makes you angry....

Pay no mind to them, there are way more nice people than mean people. Young adolescents are notoriously mean but they're just projecting insecurities they may have, or they may be trying to show off/i...

some people are just assholes. If you didn't have a stutter, they'd find something else to make fun of you for. Just gotta not take it personally...

Mean people.

Mean people. Thanks for telling me I was wrong on my other post. I'm actually doing a bit better now. But now I wanna address something. Some asshole white kids was trying to get me to stutter because...

I am not a person who stutters, but am the parent of a child who stutters and SLP. *Anyone* mocking my child’s stutter is a hard boundary for me, especially loved ones. Siblings know they do NOT go th...

Same here, Im 18 and I've stuttered through my teen years and I've seen worse worse days where my own siblings would mock me. I still stutter but its much much better than how I used to stutter 1 or 2...

sentiment is valid based on current perspective but it really does get better, my dude. trust me, everything does catastrophically suck in high school. I'm ~10 years out from high school and yes, in r...

Keep your head up my friend- it gets easier. I promise. As the people around you mature, they'll look past your stutter and see the real, kind, caring, and insightful person that you are. Life wil...

So true. No one who doesn't stutter can imagine the depth of our pain. Being unable to express our thoughts and opinions without those pitying looks on others’ faces(if we’re fortunate), or the smirk ...

Making fun of my stutter was and is a redline; anyone who crosses it is out of my life. Period. No exceptions, no do-overs. If you want to salvage this relationship, then you need to communicate to h...

It's really really easy to nip in the bud. Find what brings him the innermost shame and insecurity. Bring it up whenever he is having the most difficult time and press it into him with the crash of a ...

Saying its cute is one thing but copying it is a big no no. I’d sit him down and talk to him about it so it doesn’t happen again....
