You’re completely normal for feeling like that. I would look into joining a sports team or a club. Maybe something your friend’s already in. Dedicating yourself to something and becoming good at it ca...

My brother has a kid, and I live with them. We both stutter and we never had to "deal" with it because he never asked about it, or made fun of us in any way. Maybe my bro told him personally about it....

I have a 10 year old and 4 year old. My wife and I have raised them that stuttering is no different then someone wearing glasses. The hardest part was accepting that myself but I don't want them to se...

I’m 17 so I could understand the position you’re in, the best thing to do is to let them know that you have a speech impediment. Believe or not nobody cares the only one that cares is you, we can’t st...
