I had friends and was cordial with the majority of people. My stutter still affected my time in school, I was never close with any of my teachers, afraid to ask for help so my grades were average. I...

I’m still a teenager, just finished a year of high school. Elementary school: Honestly wasn’t that bad, I was able to talk and communicate without getting teased or made fun of it because of it. I w...

How was your experience in school growing up?

How was your experience in school growing up? I am curious to know about how your experiences were growing up in school. I am surprised that i hardly see this topic talked about on this sub. Were you...

I was a high achieving student BECAUSE I wanted to prove that I was smart and successful despite surface-level discriminators (stuttering, being small, being female). Why do you think colleges won't a...

I have son who is a student who has a very bad stutter. He is the most handsome, kind, loving boy! He is not in this world to make others happy and get their approval. You and him are perfect and you ...

I currently don't relate with the school part and the peer discrimination but i also feel like imma just dedicate my life into paying back my parent's kindness to me and to help my sisters reach their...

My son makes sure that his teachers know that he stutters allowing him extra time to finish his sentences. This has greatly benefited him. I believe the teachers also care a bit extra about him becaus...

I cant talk properly with anyone.Yesterday at an exam,I met my senior and he asked me who my class teachers were and I couldn't even speak the name of one and he laughed at my poor memory and went awa...

Well, growing up stuttering, I always chose to hide it. I wouldn’t raise my hand in class. I always chose not to talk over talking and stuttering. Consequently, I actually participated very little i...

Just remember that your teacher is broke and hates her life for picking a shitty career so takes it out on you lol...

If there's a graded speaking portion, talk to them after class, and say you're "speech disabled" so you'd "appreciate if they're patient with you". If they press the issue, saying something like "If y...

ok, wow. this teacher is bullying you and bullies don't stop unless they are made to. My fear is that there being a teacher treating you this horrible way, it is giving permission for the other stu...

See if this makes sense for your situation, it's very difficult to give advice in complex situations like this. You said you’ve never missed a class, how many classes can you still miss? You could pla...

I’m going to a college where I know nobody but I’m excited to put myself out there and make new friends. You should do the same...

The friends that are going to uci are some of my close friends and I don’t feel like we’ll drift apart but maybe that’s what they all say 😭. So basically I should choose the one that has a better pro...

Don't let your stutter make decisions for you. Especially life decisions. Don't count on your friends today being your friends in a year or two. You and your friends are going to change as much in co...

As a female medical student, I am here to argue that it is just as bad, regardless of sex or gender. As a female, I'm immediately discounted by my superiors, regardless of their gender, because "i'm j...

I did speech therapy both as a child and again as an adult in college. It helped some… then also I removed myself from public speaking types of scenarios, which idk if that’s good, but eventually my ...

First of all, Ethan, thank you for your post, and know that we have a community to help/guide. One suggestion is find an online Zoom group where you can talk/share/practice. It's important to talk ...

I struggle more on Zoom, and nowadays everyone wants to Zoom (for what used to be phone calls). On a call I find people brush off weird noises/pauses, but on a Zoom they see your weird facial contorti...
