I was pretty shocked when you wrote you're 14 at the end. You're clearly very intelligent and mature, especially for a 14 year old. You articulate the struggle so well and if you can write and think l...

I’m proud of myself

I’m proud of myself I started stuttering as a young kid, I have no idea what caused it, and as a immigrant kid learning two languages it made life hell for me. I used to not be able to talk to anyone ...

I would've done it a long time ago, but I'm a muslim and we believe that if you commit suicide you'll go straight to hell. I even asked my teacher when I was 7 if I committed suicide now will I go to...
