Yeah, it would be awkward. I once had a client on the phone for work who noticed my stutter (surprise) and she went on about how brave I was to be out there living my life despite my “issue”. It made ...

Ya, it’s definitely a cultural/geographical difference. I’m Chinese myself, and I’ve experienced a lot more rudeness and ignorance from fellow Chinese and East Asian people (and Indians/South Asians t...

i feel this 100%. my stutter is very mild but it’s made me so much more understanding of people with any type of speech impediment. i hate seeing people get made fun of for the way they talk....

Yikes, those people are really rude and impatient. Glad I’ve only had to deal with very few of these ignorant types. I have a severe stutter (with long blocks) as well. Maybe it’s a geographical/cultu...

Thanks for sharing your experience, and I hope to reache that state of acceptance and confidence. Another thing is where I live, the majority of ppl make fun of anyone who stutters. They aren't self...

I was a cashier at a grocery store. Keep in mind I’m 17 and was 16 at the time, and to see adults tease or laugh my stutter when trying to make small talk was super disheartening. People are just assh...

Has anyone here noticed a decrease in the their stuttering with anxiety medication? Hey, so I have a mild to moderate stutter and about a month ago I had a conversation with a former high ranking mili...

I never really understood why teachers did this. And then after they picked me and made me embarrass myself in a room full of my peers making fun of me they tried to force me to do it even more so I ...

The second sentence is so true it honestly kind of hurts. I got bullied pretty relentlessly about it in summer football practice freshman year until we actually got in pads and I drove him thirty yard...

I was bullied — both for my stutter and other reasons — from 5th grade up until 9th. Unfortunately I don’t have any solid answers, but based on my experience there’s a couple routes to take. The firs...

Fuck that dude. Are there cameras or witnesses? I know you said you're not trying to get him in trouble, but you need to report this again or follow up with that teacher. If he's 18, he is considere...

Bullshit. If no one is doing anything, talk to the local news. You said "stutter" so I'm going to assume you're American. You have a right to be safe at school....

Same thing happened to me in school, the EXACT same thing. First thing is to focus on the principal of the school because the bully is physically assaulting you and it needs to be reported. I grew ...

Dude don't put up with this. Talk to the school's staff mate and let everyone know who's the sorry ass loser that bullies someone bc of a disability. Practice on your stutter constantly to get better ...

I am so sorry you are going through this, you don't deserve it. Have you talked to your parents? Maybe they can help you communicate with the staff at your school. Also, take photos and videos of your...

Join a martial arts and learn how to defend yourself. My bullying only stopped once I kicked my main bully's ass....
