Funny, when I was 19 I thought the same thing. But as I have gotten older I have become more comfortable with my stuttering. I think the main thing for you is to be comfortable with yourself first so ...

I can’t make the choice for you, but I’ll say that it’s one of the 10,000 reasons I got sterilized. On one hand, there’s a pretty good chance your children will stutter. On the other, a stuttering ...

Fair enough, I might not of got my point across very well. I just think that having a stutter shouldn't stop you from having kids. Would seem a real shame considering many people with stutters live ...

I feel the same way. However, just for arguments sake, is ‘being a good listener’ one of those traits that most people identify with? Like how studies have shown something like 80% of drivers think th...
