Hello,

My name is James. I never really spoke to anyone about my stuttering but I think this a good place to start.

I am 19 years old and a college student. Stuttering has been a major part in my entire life. When I was younger I would stutter a lot but in recent years I learned to control it better. Most of the time when I stutter not it is when I am very stressed or neuvous. Over the years I overcame a lot of obsticles such as public speaking (in front of college classes, PA announcements at work, etc...) but stuttering is still apart of my life. Everytime I have to speak to someone I quickly tell myself "don't sutter" it sounds stupid but it has really affected me a lot. I hope one day I can stop and never have to tell myself "don't stutter" before I speak ever again. I hope here I can find some resources that may be of some help to me.

Thanks,
James

hey James,
it's good to hear that you've been able to overcome obstacles and that you've been able to take on challenges that other people who stutter may avoid. I hope stuttering hasn't completely controlled your life, but i guess that's why this site is here, to help get back control. See you around :)
