EVERYBODY’S DIFFERENT
Hello, my name is Jackson. I am in second grade and I am 8 years old. I go to ESD-Episcopal School of Dallas. I learned to use easy starts to help me say words in speech. I go to a group where I meet other kids who also stutter and we do fun stuff. My favorite sport is baseball because I like to hit homers and I like to be in the outfield to catch fly balls. Here’s what I would tell other kids that stutter: It’s just the way you were born and everybody’s different.

Don’t Put Yourself Down –
You Are Unique
My name is Angelo, I am 18, and I stutter. I’m in high school in the 11th grade and I like History. From what I’ve learned about stuttering, it makes me unique. I’ve been teased but I didn’t tease back. Instead I realized people will make fun of you for who you are. A lot of friends accept it and it doesn’t bother them. It has stressed me out but I use many ways to calm down and it makes me feel better. Don’t try to put yourself down for stuttering, because it will only make you feel worse. If anyone tries to put you down remember that it is a part of you and makes you unique.

GREETINGS FROM IRELAND
Hi. My name is Jamie. I am nearly 11. I love drawing and Dr. Who. I go to the Health Centre in Enniscorthy to work on my stutter. Stuttering cannot be cured, but if you go to a speech therapist they’ll help you do it less.
Jamie, 11, from Co. Wexford, Ireland I’m a Normal Kid!
My name is Antwan. I am 10 years old. I started stuttering when I was in Kindergarten and at that time I started speech therapy. Once I got a bit older people seemed to always ask me why I stutter and I always try to change the subject. In class I always stutter and it takes longer to get my answers out. But, at the end of the day, I’m a normal kid! Out!
