That's a familiar story. High school was a total nightmare for me. I was mute in class as well. I also didn't do any of the classwork, so I had some teachers assume I was mentally challenged and they ...

You shouldn't be ashamed. Out of everyone else in your class, people are going to remember you because you stutter. No one else in your school can say that about themselves -- that they are able to ma...

Well, maybe you're just being too harsh on yourself somehow. Being a stutterer certainly doesn't require you to fail your speech constantly, in order to "deserve" the label. All you can do is be glad ...
