How can i get rid of my stutter?

[Bud B]

Stuttering is NOT caused by anxiety! Gee, some speech pathologists didn't get any training in the causes of stuttering or were sleeping through that part of a class. If you go to a speech pathologist, make sure they are trained in working with those who stutter so they really will help you. The Stuttering Foundation has a list of referrals at http://www.stutteringhelp.org.

If you can't get therapy with a therapist who specializes in stuttering, do self-therapy. One of my uncles went to a therapist who used Self Therapy for the Stutterer in her sessions. He bought the book and sent it back home to his brothers. After working through it step by step, they all improved; the uncle who went to a therapist improved more.

My uncles who stuttered said that they stuttered worse when they tried NOT to stutter, when they were under stress, and when they were very tired. Try concentrating on what you are saying rather than how you are talking, eliminating as much stress from your life as you can, getting plenty of rest, plus working on your speech using a therapist, the self therapy book, or watching The Stuttering Foundation’s videos and using the things you learn every day.

Ignore the ones who tease you. They are not worth the time of day. You may stutter, but they have worse problems. My bet is that you are much more intelligent than they will ever hope to be. Every stutterer I have ever met has been well read, well educated, and highly intelligent. Once you find your niche, you will soar and be successful in whatever you do; those who spend their time teasing others are usually jealous of them for some reason. You may not be able to speak smoothly, yet, but you know what to say. They may be able to speak well, but not have the brains to know what to say.

Just accept the stuttering as part of you that you are working on. My favorite thing I have heard from a stutterer to a teaser was "I stutter; what's your problem?" You might look at the brochures on The Stuttering Foundation's web site and print out some to give to your teacher, mother, or others about how they can help you stutter less. Showing your mother the causes listed http://www.stutteringhelp.org/Default.aspx?tabid=17 will help her realize that stuttering is not caused by lack of confidence or anxiety.
