I know how it feels I really do. Just try to be the better person and try to forgive them. They just don't know how it is to live with a stutter. Remember, there are people just like you who are going...

Your sister should show you patience. It kind of feels like you’re not getting the support you need. Personally, for me, my stutter is a source of shame for me. I don’t know about you, but I feel like...
