I am 13 !

Today is November 10, my 13th birthday! I'm a teen! All these years, my stuttering has had its ups and downs like a rollercoaster. But ever since I got intense therapy from Mrs. Lew, my stuttering has improved a lot! I learned many things while writing this blog. Now I don't feel so lonely any more knowing about all the other stutterers and the people that care. The wonderful comments, I received, have indeed increased my self-esteem and motivated me to continue this blog.

Some say I might grow out of my stuttering problem as I age. But unfortunately, it is not a guarantee. Thus, I cannot depend on it. So I have to prepare for the worst and leave the best for a suprise.

At 11:29 PM, Anonymous said...: How old were you when you first started to stutter? I am 13 and I just started stuttering last year and I am not sure why. So you must be around 16 now. Have you noticed that your stuttering has changed since you were 13?
