I Do Not Mind Stuttering


Hi. My name is Conner. I am 8 years old and


I started speech when I was 6 years old. I am in 3rd grade at Oxford Valley Elementary School in Fairless Hills. I do not mind stuttering. I love finding my elves at Christmas time. Their names are Ralfie, 16, and Lion. I stutter at home more and I talk too fast. I don’t know what job I want but I love watching TV.

I remember stuttering since first grade. I have worked with a few speech teachers over the years. When I got to middle school I started working with Mrs. McK and almost a year after working with her I completely stopped stuttering. Some of the strategies that I used were just trying not to think of stuttering when I am stuttering. Another strategy I used was to slow down instead of talking too fast.


Hello, I’m Alex. I’m 12 years old and I’m in the 5th grade. I started stuttering when I was around 7 or 8 years old. When I was stuttering in school kids laughed at me at first but when time passed they all know I stuttered. That was in school. In public I was super nervous and sometimes I just froze. If I wanted to ask something of someone I would start like, “Where is-is-is the bathroom?” So if that happened all I would do is just walk away and make it seem more awkward for me. So, most of the time, I would just not talk. So I told my mom and she put me in speech class. My speech teacher told me to use my techniques and I did. They were to take deep breaths in, relax, and start over. My advice to you is to don’t let stuttering stop you from talking – it’s not your fault.

When I got my braces on it changed everything because my tongue kept hitting against my braces and I started to stutter all over again. I felt disappointed that all of my hard work was gone but my family and my speech language pathologist keep encouraging me.


I don’t know why but most winters my stuttering also increases as well as tongue clicking and eye blinking. Mom thinks it is because it is a busier time of year but it has NEVER kept me from talking with my friends and family or participating in any of my classes. I can’t wait until my braces come off in a few months and I hope that you learn that stuttering is okay and to stick up for those who do stutter.
