Answer 1

The Stuttering Foundation has a brochure on their web site www.stutteringhelp.org that one of my cousins downloaded and printed out. Then, he took it with him to his interviews. It is written for employers. Look under "Brochures for All Ages" and you might find some others that are helpful. My cousin said that it was better for him to tell the interviewer up front that he stuttered and give them the brochure as he was more relaxed and didn't worry about trying NOT to stutter. He stuttered less after that. He and some other cousins and several uncles have also gotten help with the Foundation's bood "Self Therapy for the Stutterer.' One uncle used the book and also went to a speech therapist who specialized in stuttering.

Go to Google.com and click on "video" then search for "Straight talk for teens" and watch it.

Answer 2

I stuttered terribly as a child and adolescent. When people say see a speech therapist, many don't understand that not everyone can afford. My family was not well off, so we couldn't. My words of advice....breathe!! Slowly, deeply, and begin talking WHILE YOU ARE EXHALING. Once you start breathing out it's easier to begin the word. Once that first one is out, keep going with the rest of the sentence. Before you need your next breath, stop talking and slowly inhale, then exhale and begin the process again. Once you master this, then eventually you'll do it, very casually, without even realizing that you're doing it. I know it sounds weird, but it's the only way I can explain it. I'm 48 years old now and speak wonderfully. (unless i'm extremely extremely tired and might do a tiny stutter, but nothing anyone notices)
Dude, it's not easy, but if you take it slow and easy, and just relax, you'll be just fine. I wish you much luck. Feel free to email me if you wish.

My mother was a speech therapist.

She said, you nneed to stand infront of a mmirror and stutter aloud. Every day if you have to. Ttry to s stutter as much as possible whenever you cc ccan. The m more you t try the better. Try to annoy y y yourself with your s stuttering. That's how it will go away.

all the best.
