Like u/StutteryG says, from your childhood to maybe 20-21 those are definitely the most difficult and frustrating times, I think that goes for most people who stutter. It will get a lot easier to cope...

Some people think that people who stutter are dumb, but don't let that discourage you from talking, please!

Some people just don’t know about it, don’t know how to act or see it as a developmental disorder/disability. It’s almost like social fight or flight for them. Got to take it with a pinch of salt. Eve...
