It’s easy to think that sometimes. But we also have to remember that fluent people are people just like we’re people. It’s not healthy to have that “us vs. them” mentality. They’re people with valid e...

Don’t do it bro. I am proof that with enough work and willpower you can get over your stutter and the feelings it comes with it. Don’t take your life bro. It’s really not worth it. You need to get up....
