FEAR NO MORE
Hi, my name is Carissa. I am 12 years old. I am in 5th grade. I have stuttered for as long as I can remember. Even though I stutter, I’m a really great swimmer. I use pausing, easy starts, and pullouts. I use them when I need to and when I feel like I’m going to stutter. It does not matter what people say or do. It should not change who you are inside. And it is okay when you stutter because it does not matter. Do not change who you are inside for anyone
because you’re beautiful
inside and out. Don’t let anyone change who you are because it never changed me. It should never change you.

Hello. My name is Carlie. I am 10 years old. I am in the 4th grade. I go to Indian Lake Elementary. I started stuttering when I was three. Every time I stutter, I repeat the last word I say. Every week I go to speech. At first, I thought I wasn’t going to stop stuttering, but then I realized it’s OK to stutter after learning some strategies. Two strategies I use are taking a breath before I talk and sliding smoothly from word to word.

I TAKE MY TIME Hello, my name is Chris and I’m 12 years old. I
have been stuttering my whole life. I have been doing speech at Woodville Middle School in Woodville, TX. Sometimes people pick on me because I stutter. When they do, I know to just ignore them. I play football for the Woodville Eagles. My parents always remind me to take my time. My dad used to stutter too, so basically it is a generation. Now I notice when I stutter. Stuttering didn’t make me stop being who I want to be. Don’t let your stuttering get inside your head.
Your friend, Chris, 12, from Woodville, TX
