Keep in mind there is a perspective about the world that you have that is unique and valuable in its own way. Non-stutterers may not really be able to know how you feel, but there are likely certain s...

Why aren't there drugs for stuttering?

Why aren't there drugs for stuttering? It's bullshit how bipolar, ADHD, and OCD have their own treatments, but none for stuttering. Speech therapy is useless and it didn't help me. So basically I'm h...

They can't fail you for stuttering. Take it and prove to yourself that you can do it. This doesn't mean you won't stutter. What I mean is that you stutter but you still have plenty to say. It took me...
