I want to live on so desperately than anybody. I don’t want to die. I’ve cheated myself with saying that I don’t want to live on because of my stuttering, but, it was so wrong. I want to live. Pleases...

You’ve come this far already! It’d be a shame to stop now. Whatever you do, don’t stop attacking your stutter. Practise presentations in front of friends, talk to 100 strangers a day. These things hel...
