i have a stutter, when im alone i talk fine. i can talk to family usually pretty good, just that if i talk to other people my stutter kicks in and if i present i get soooo nervous and shake but i try to talk semi slow and dont stutter that much. i can read in class ok but i have a problem with the first word im reading but after that its all good. anyone have advice or anything?
im 18 and just starting college so it might tottally mess up my career if i stutter so that makes me so nervous because i want to be able to get a good job but that might interfere.

Check out the online videos and information at www.stutteringhelp.org. "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" is the best book.

With what you described is sounds to me that it is fixable. I don't think you can fix it yourself. But you can go to a speech therapist who can help you learn how to get your stutter to disappear fully. My best friend had a stutter and went to a speech therapist in our high school and by the end of the year the stutter was almost non-exsistant. She continued her speech therapy after high school and today she speaks perfectly without any sign of a stutter. If you want to try and do it yourself I would suggest looking at your local library or book store for any kind of books on such a thing or you could look online for any kind of help that you may be able to do in your own home. I hope this helps you out. Good luck.

Get the book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" from The Stuttering Foundation of America in their estore at www.stutteringhelp.org or at amazon.com or some public libraries. I have read several people's reviews saying that it worked for them.
