my story

[indiankid]

hello i am writing this to you in hope that people who used to be like me can find some hope.. stuttering is not a permenent problem i dont know what causes it but i know what i went through and how i started to overcome it.. at infant school i could barely even write my own name or do simple math the stuttering problem didnt develop until year 4 primary school about... here i was ridiculed for talking in public and stuff the kids kept on laughing because they didnt understand.. one day i speaked perfectly and then one kid goes ''ur lucky u didnt stutter' and when i went to secondary school is began worse i could barely even talk in public.. even the teacher made fun out of my speech one goes u had trouble saying ur name didnt u... i can only imagine what caused this problem i guess i was a guy who didnt have many friends and was unconfident.. even my brother imitated my speech and stuff and that made me angry i wish i was dead and stuff.. and i remember once i was taken to doctor because of it.. he goes there is no hope.. the nurse said her sister outgrown it though.. for a while i attended sessions to overcome my stammer but i stopped attending soon.. the way people treated me was like i had a problem or something.. but essentially everyone stutters at one point or another.. now i have outgrown some of my stuttering i think about what i want to say carefully and then say it.. it helps.. and my doctor needs a slap because he said there was no hope and the fact that i am a support teacher and give students help on their work without stuttering says something.. i am also at uni..

so dont give up there is a light at the end of the tunnel.. just remember ur gifted

Thanks for answering my questions. You are one of the lucky ones. My stutter has greatly improved as I got older and when I'm on a roll, I don't stutter, but when I start a new sentence, I may have trouble starting.

most of the time it happens when someone is unconfident.. its a common problem at uni my friend stutters sometime aswell.. this is what normally helps..
if u stutter on certains words try replacing them with words that ur confortable with

for example if you stutter on the word ''should'' replace it with ''could''

[Vermillion]

That means you are avoiding words, which makes you far from overcoming stuttering.

i cant make my problem go away 100% but i try to use a strategy which works for me
