Hello, my name is Emmalyn. I’m a bit different than most people. I have a stutter, my dad does too! Well, I’m glad that one of my family members has one too, so I’m not left out. By the way, I’m 7 and my birthday is March 1st. I love making crafts. I like school but waking up early is not the best. I love my teacher. She’s very nice. I love, love, LOVE the beach. I like handwriting too! I love playing with my friends! I like cleaning my room. I love my family; the Lord gave me a loving family. I was born in Texas; my best friend was too! Thumbs up to stutters!

Hi, my name is Justin. I am 9 years old, and I live in Queens, NY. I have one sister. She always plays with me. I love to play Roblox, Minecraft and Call of Duty. Sometimes when I play Call of Duty people add me and when I talk to them on speaker, they laugh at me. They tell me I’m not good enough to get a lot of wins. They tell me I can’t do anything because I stammer but I prove them wrong! I do good. I got so many
wins, they only got 8 and I got 10. Now, I just play with people who think I’m actually good at the game and respect me. Stammering is a normal thing for people to do. When I play Minecraft and I stammer people talk over me. Some people stick up for me and that makes me feel happy and much better. Sometimes when playing, I sing, and it happens. People give me a round of applause. Also, for me it’s hard to make friends in school because I stammer a lot and they don’t understand what I say. Some people understand me, and they are my friends. They think it’s not a bad thing and that it’s natural. For me people who stutter are regular. You should never give up and always try and show people that stuttering is not bad!

My name is Ridge. I’m in 5th grade. I have a dog and a cat. I like to play baseball and gaga ball. I don’t stutter on the field because I am in my comfort zone. Stuttering does not mean anything is wrong. For some people like me, you have to slow down and do easy-on-sets.
