I have a stutter and it's really pissin me off! dnt tell me to go to speech therapy. I was wondering where you position you tongue when you are about to talk - bottom, top, left ,right? At what position is your tongue most of the time when you talk? I know it moves (obviously) but where is it the most of the time?

That's not a silly question. My brother stutters too.
He usually stutters less when he is talking about something that he feels confident about.
So trust yourself and feel confident.
And when I start talking my tongue is at the top. I do stutter when I'm nervous.

Relaxed in the bottom of the mouth. The best thing you can do for your stuttering is to get The Stuttering Foundation's book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" if you don't want speech therapy. Study and follow the steps to more fluent speech like my uncles and cousins did. Only one of them went to speech therapy, and all of them learned to speak more fluently with hardly a stutter. You can do it, too!

Not a silly question at all!
My sister use - to stutter all the time and with nearly every other word. She was told to stand in front of the mirror, put on her favorite music and sing! She was told to watch her breathing.
Within 6 months she stopped stuttering!
Only time she stutters is when she is fibbing about something! lol

The bottom, the tongue doesn't move when you talk that usually it just goes up and down, but not too high up, mostly in the bottom. D:

It is normally on the bottom. You don't say your age. I know this is small consolation, but if you are still in your teens, there is a chance that you may grow out of it. Singing may help you.
Good luck.

I can relate to that. I kinda/sorta have that problem to this day. Sometimes i have to think before i say anything. That's usually the best. I just formulate the words into my head and i just go with it.

that's why you go to a professional speech therapist instead of asking the smartasses on here...
