Hey I’m a 15 year old lad and I get what you’re saying. I do have a few friends but I’m not too comfortable trying to make new friends. School also isn’t the most friendly place and I’ve heard many jo...

I experienced this recently when a friend of a friend called my stutter “cute” and “interesting” because “it’s suspenseful.” I don’t know if they were just trying to make me feel better, but it was de...

Thanks the reminder that I struggle to say my own name!!

Thanks the reminder that I struggle to say my own name!! Has anyone ever told you to just relax and breathe and you will be fine? I have chronic anxiety yes, but I also stutter. I have a DISABILITY. N...

Agree 100%, school as a kid with a stutter can be horrific...

It really does feel like that last disability that gets a "free pass" at mocking or making fun of. I have been really frustrated about it for awhile as well....

was my line all thru high school!! my hands stutter too!!! Serious until we start letting people know that it is not OK, they will keep doing it.. I hold anybody that giggles at my stutter accountabl...

I squarely blame films for making it acceptable to make fun of fat or weird or different people. Stutterers have had it tough too as they have been used for comic relief and that to for some cheap lau...

When people make fun of my stutter, I educate them on stuttering in general and why I stutter. I guess I turn it into a “teachable moment” while also indicating I am not embarrassed by it. I think i...

Sometimes I think it is a simple involuntary reaction. Like a diarrhea of the mouth thing. You interact with a stranger and suddenly what they expect to happen doesn't. They have a person standing in ...

Anyone who makes fun of people when they are there and aware, be it about bodyshaming or any disability, is just an insecure, pathetic excuse of a human being that has nothing else better to do. The...

Oh spare me the victim shit. I've seen people post about "luckily I don't have to speak in X situation anymore!". Unlike you I'm not an enabler. I encourage people to FIGHT it and not let it win no ma...

Why is it that it's okay to make fun of a stutter?

Why is it that it's okay to make fun of a stutter? Getting a cheap laugh from that socially awkward dude that could barely finish a sentence just now? Haha! Absolutely hilarious! Let's also mimic his ...

Well, when you tell a marginalized group that 90% of them are failing, what kind of reaction do you honestly expect? We are already used to the statitics being against us, now we get another made up o...

To borrow a quote from tyiron: "I (too) have a tender spot in my heart for cripples and bastards and broken things." I suppose if I didn't stutter, I would have got in a lot more trouble than I shoul...

Same. My stutter is annoying and I always get laughed at. I'd beat their ass...

People should be trained in how to work with people with speech impediments

People should be trained in how to work with people with speech impediments I think all places of business should be trained in how to deal with people with speech impediments of all kinds. I am tired...

There are people that think having a lisp makes you "gay" That is how ignorant some people are. It probably doesn't help I have long hair and Guages if that means anything....
