Don’t Talk Over Me and Don’t Bully
Hi, my name is Sam. I’m eight years old. I feel sad about myself because people make fun of me when I stutter. Relaxed breath helps you not stutter but you still stutter sometimes. The slide helps me by making me relax and slow down. I stutter when I talk fast. I started stuttering when I was 3 years old. People talk over me when I stutter and I get sad. I don’t talk over people, but they do. I get bullied by people when I stutter because they laugh at me.
Don’t Give Up
Hi, my name is James. I am 11 years old. I go to Visitation Catholic School. I started stuttering in Kindergarten. When I stuttered when I was younger I felt happy and sad. When I stutter in front of a crowd, it makes me feel sad. My speech strategies are pausing, easy onset, phrasing, and light articulatory contact. The person who helps me is my speech teacher and one at school. Advice for other kids who stutter is “don’t give up and do your best with speaking.” I wish that I never stuttered.

If Darth Vader Can Do It, So Can You!
Hi! My name is Rylan. I am 10 years old and I am in 4 I go to Our Lady of Peace School in Erie, Pennsylvania. I like to play hockey and I have been playing since I was four years old. My favorite hockey team is the New York Rangers.
I have been stuttering since I was four years old. I mostly stutter with blocks. I would say wwwwwwwwwhat. It feels like my mouth is going to break. My speech teacher is Mrs. B. She helps me with my tools. They are slow speech, stretchy speech, and cancel it. They help me talk like a kid and not a robot. My advice to other kids who stutter is Never Give Up! If Darth Vader can do it, so can you!
