Speech counseling is available. Don't be self-concious, just ask your parents to consider letting you see a speech counselor, and don't be scared! It could be fun!

Drew barrymore has a lisp and everyone loves her. It's no big deal. Some guys really like it too. Maybe go rent ever after and eat some ice cream.

Seriously, many people that go to my college have lisps, don't let other people bring you down due to a lisp.
Think of it this way, they're only jelouse because they don't have a lisp, unlike you, you're special, because it is a rare gift.
Really though, don't let people bring you down, and be confident and brave about it.
I really do hope this helps...

People all have their own ways of speaking. Honestly they are teasing you probably because it is "cute" dear. I wouldn't take it personally at all. I tease my friends for the way they talk and they tease me. Although one time i was teasing a friend for the way he spoke, cause he kinda spoke country bumpkin and i didn't think he would take it so personal and he stopped talking like that and it kinda ruined the person he was. So don't change!

Cruel.. Contact your speech resource counselor at the school your attending. They can test you. I know in Ca. it's free.. Our son has a speech impediment. It didn't happen until his tonsils and adenoids were removed.. Adolescence can be cruel!

lisp means that you blend your words together it doesn't make you look weird or anything. Sometimes people have it when they have really plump lips i have it to but its not something to be worried about

don't listen to them i have one too(although its because i have braces) but if nobody pointed it out until he did he was flirting, and your friend probably did only because those boys did, so she's only doing it to be "cool" but she's not just tell her how you feel about it and if she keeps doing it she's jealous of you, and then i would recommend finding a new friend.
OH and don't let them get to you if you laugh about they wont find it funny anymore because they know they aren't getting to you. makes jokes about it thats what i do like i cant say my ch like church(ohh man thats hard) but at first they made fun of me but i told them to kiss my butt and laughed about it guess what NO MORE

hun. don't worry about what other people have to say about you.
your lisp is a part of you
to me, i think they are cute.
but just don't worry what people have to think about you. or say.
