Hi Everyone

[Foxglove]

Hi all

My name is Frank and I hail from South Africa. I've stuttered since I was about 9 but it's much better than it used to be. It used to be so bad that I couldn't even get two words out and this lead to a lot of teasing from most of the other kids all through my school career. I'm sure we all know how considerate and caring kids at that age are toward someone who is "different"... :p

I still have my bad days though, but I've learned to cope with the whole thing and I'm intent on making a success of my life. I recently stumbled on this site and decided to register because it's kinda nice knowing that there are other people out there who have the same problem that I do.

Thanks for reading.

Edit: I'm a guy Frank, not a girl Frank. The avatar may be a bit misleading, but it's one of my favourite pics of all time and I figured it would make a nice avatar :D

Dear Frank,

Welcome here, and I am happy that you have such positive thoughts.

I am working on my stuttering as well, and amazingly I have been successful to change it and decrease it dramatically with the power of my mind and visualization.

I will write some articles later in my website with full details.

Take care
