If anyone makes fun of ur stutter, just think to yourself how they would react if one day they had the issues that we have. They probably couldn’t last a day before having a mental breakdown dealing w...

I used to wonder who I could vent to. I think now looking back maybe it was just that they couldn't help and just couldn't understand what was happening. So it might feel like a burden in the sense ...
