I'm 14 and I have struggled through what was initially a mild stutter to something that progressed over the course of 12 years to a more severe one. Currently I see a speech pathologist for an hour, once a week, at my local public hospital, which I would not recommend. You'd be MUCH better off forking out the dough for a paid speech pathologist. Trust me, they are much more efficient, though paying for not an option for my family and I right now. Good luck and remember, you're not alone! There are other people with the same speech disorder as you :)
Much love.
Happy Holidays!

I used to work with a girl who stuttered pretty badly if she talked in her normal voice, but when she felt herself getting nervous, like around more than one or two people, she would whisper, and the stuttering would stop. Try it and see if whispering will help.

You may be nervous around people.
I use to stutter a bit...Now, I talk slowly and choose my words carefully.
My next door neighbor has a severe speech impediment, stuttering.
I just wait for Him to finish his sentence. He is the director of Operations at a Local University. So, he is very Intelligent.

Your mind moves too fast for your mouth, nothing to be ashamed of. Are you nervous around people? Try to relax and take your time talking. People that stutter are geniuses. Be proud to be a stutterer.

You should start taking Yoga....learn to relax..maybe it is only nerves since it is only when u are around people?!? Have you talked to a doctor? It really seems like a nerve/anxiety problem! Xanax or other medicines may help.

take deep breaths and try to speak using that breath. It is hard to stutter while you are exhaling.

See a speech therapist for exercises.

calm down. then figure out what is it generally about people that makes you nervous and and let it go. go for someone that likes you for you and forget those superficial freaks. good luck!
