That's a fair point. Debate requires a lot of concentration and quick thinking, both of which are very difficult when our minds are pre-occupied with a stutter. To be honest, I wouldn't consider mysel...

Haha no I've had Irish friends, I know what it sounds like! But yea, in the end, I think those of us who stutter make a bigger deal out of it than others. Students might make a remark or two, but at t...

One of my college tutors had a noticeable stutter but no one batted an eyelid. It made it so much easier for me to tell him things/ask for help etc and I'm so glad he was my tutor! Don't let your stut...
