My name is Jad. I am 12 years old. My birthday is May 3rd. I live in Buffalo, New York. I stutter when I say long words like some words that start with the /h/ sound. Sometimes I have repetitions, prolongations and revisions. The strategy I use the most when I stutter is easy onsets. When I stutter, I feel fine. If I stutter, I will repeat my words again. When I have free time, I like to use my 3D printer to make fidgets and toys. I also like to play wiffle ball outside with my friends. My advice to other kids who stutter is to try using easy onsets and don’t be afraid to stutter. Stuttering is natural.

My name is Ali. I am 12 years old, almost 13, and I’m in seventh grade. I live in Michigan. I love art, especially crafting and painting. It just feels good for me. My brother, sister, and I love to play Fortnite. I love Japanese food like sushi and Ramen noodles with some rice cakes. I love to watch My Hero Academia and Lego Ninjago.
I get nervous or get anxiety sometimes when I am stuttering. The strategies that help me are pausing, breathing in and out, and repeating the word again. It’s ok to stutter. A few years ago, when I was stuttering a lot there was a bully. The bully was mean and one time he was copying me when I was stuttering. Some of my friends supported me and they stood up to the bullies that were making fun of me. Good friends are always there for you and make you happy. Have the courage to stand up for who you are!
