I haven't experienced this in public other than the occasional "you forgot your own name/age hurr hurr" (i got tons of ridicule by my own mother, but it's ok 'cause she kicked me out)....

After primary school (and the school after that) I think it's really immature to bully people for their way of talking, walking or whatever. But some people maybe are late to mature I guess. I was a...

Damn dude, I feel you. But no, fuck that show, there's no way it could make that much of an impact with any normal, rational-thinking human being. And if a girl is turned off by it, fuck them, there...

Back in junior high, when my acceptance over my speech was at its lowest, I punched a kid for making fun of my speech, but that's probably the worst I've really experienced. Of course I'll get strang...

I can completely relate. I have stuttered since I was nine years old I am now twenty two and still live my stutter. I work at a fast food restaurant that is known for its speedy service and retro driv...

Consider that dating and long-term relationships are very different things. Dating is difficult as it requires us to introduce ourselves and our personalities efficiently, not easier said than done. (...

Get used to people calling you retarded and or judging you on your stutter dude. The only way society accepts us is if we take it on the chin. This means having thicker skin to humiliation, judgement,...

I don't think so at all. I'm mean, as stutterers we're certainly discriminated against, in many respects, but in my experience we're in the same "dating league" as anyone else. I was never the guy to ...

You sound like a great person. I wish there were more people out there like you. I work as a server at a drive in and it never ceases to amaze me how few people there are out there who simply are supe...

You can do what you want. Nobody is telling you that you MUST overcome it. But if you choose to do nothing to improve your speech then it's counterproductive to be complaining about it. See where I'm ...

But why should we have to overcome our stuttering? Why can't society accept us the way we are? If celebrities stuttered openly it can be viewed as typical speech. ...

Stammer getting unbearable

Stammer getting unbearable Hello, In the last 5 years or so my stammer has made my life so difficult. When I was younger I would have described it as a serious problem, but as I have gotten older it h...

Stuttering in the Media

Stuttering in the Media What are your thoughts on stuttering in the media? All these celebrities who say they stutter, don't stutter openly. How is this good for the stuttering community? Sure the "...

Out of all the shitty jokes you could steal is one that makes fun of how a person sounds. Your words are enough for me to know that you're a little bit of an idiot....

Stuttering as a kid was the worst. Not necessarily elementary school because you didn't really care about what the other kids thought since you grew up knowing them. But once highschool approached thi...

Yeah, god forbid that you actually take the opportunity to empathize. The last notion is clearly connected to the main point of the article: idea of the everyday life and how we take things for grante...

Having a thing for glasses is a pretty common having a thing for something as rare as a stutter is pretty weird imo. Also telling me that I have issues is pretty rude tbh....

Meh, I think that her heart is in the right place. I know that a lot of us here are extremely defensive about our disability, but it's hard to see how it looks like to other people. Stuttering really ...

I'd like to think I'd do that too.. but in reality, I probably wouldn't get upset enough. Maybe all the years of hearing stuff like that, I callused in terms of stutter jokes/insults...
