My story.

[Chelsea]

I am sixteen years old. My name is Chelsea. I have been stuttering since Grade 5. I didn't stutter as a child, and it makes me fustrated because I don't get why I began to stutter. I don't think my friend's even notice I stutter, or they don't care. I joined a group on Facebook about stuttering, and that's how I found this site.

If any of you want to reply, be my guest.
It makes me feel a little better to know that I am not the only one who stutters.

Hi Chelsea!
I like to think my friends don't notice my stutter and that I'm just being self-conscious (or maybe I just have great friends!)
I've been in a long period of denial regarding my stutter, and I now want to take action to either embrace it, or "cure" it.

Hi Dear U r not the only who had gone through this sort of feelings or problems. I m a student of Mechanical Engg n I have also tested the bitter taste of being a stammured one but I take this as one more challenge of my life.

Heyy :D

Im 13 and have been stuttering since year 4 i was 9/10 years old I didnt stutter as a child either.. My dad and grandma are telling me that it is from anxiety and stress...my friend said for this year that I should make a goal..that goal to relax and calm down..and to take it one step at a time and keep practicing...

Have you seen a therapist?
If not.. Try reading for 10-20 minutes every day outloud..speak slowly clearly..don't hesitate when you read...

When talking to people try to be as little stressed as possible think before you speak and talk clearly

Hope this helps :D

Hi my name is Yinka and im 15. I feel the same way you do. When I talk with my friends they don't even care either. I've been stuttering since I was in Grade 3. Sometimes I can't even get a word out before they jump in and ignore me. I'm glad I'm not the only teenager on this site.

[Chelsea]

Hey, thanks for the comment.

I am learning to deal with it....
Although it still makes me mad that I can't talk to certain people without being afarid that I will stutter....

My friends know I do, and they don't care.
Or if they don't know and I tell them, they are surprsied because they didn't notice.

[Chelsea]

No, I haven't seen a therapist.... although I want to.
I want this to go away.....
But other times, I just tell myself to suck it up.

[Chelsea]

I am glad that I'm not the only one.... and I am glad to meet some people who are in the same boat as me.

[Chelsea]

Thanks for the advice! :)

My friends don't care at all.
They treat me the same.... and I love them for that.

Other people though look at me like I am a freak....

I HATE public speaking.
I refuse to do it infront of my class, so I ask to do mine after class.
