Well what can i say, i've been stuttering since i was a little boy but my parents thaught that it was just a phase so they ignored it ,but with time passing by it didn`t .At the age of 12 my father passed away,i sufferd an emotional crisis and the stuttering got worse,people got to noticed it,school mates started making fun of me ,i was afraid of talking in public but my mom still ignored my problem and said that i can controll it but i don`t want to.So i struggled to maintain my stutter under control thru out my childhood but as you already know there are good days and bad days for us stutters.Even with the stutter i managed to get good grades when i had to talk in front of the class,so it was a continuous battle ,every phrase carefully selected not to stutter,i fighted my way to highschool.This is when everything changes,teenagers don`t want friends that are not cool(stutters,weight problems etc,)but i stiil managed to make friends and to hide my problem.After highschool I went to the university(law school)by this time i was 18 so i decided to go find myself professional help from a speech teraphist .In my country there are no speech therapists that will work with adult stutters,only with small kids.You can imagine how disapointed i was:confused: Anyway even with my stuttering i managed to graduate among the first 10 students and now i have to face another battle ,getting a job and not any kind of job:lawer ,prosecutor or judge(did i say battle i meant war:D)Now i`m 23 years old and i can say that for a stutter i acomplished pretty much.I don`t avoid making phone calls,talking to people,i challenge myself everyday.
I`m a stutter! ,so what .I can't change this,this is who i am!!!
P.S: sorry for my bad english
