How can i help stop my stutter?

Question

I'm 15 and ive had a stutter since i could talk. it is a minor stutter, I stumble on words, (my name, movie titles). etc. I am going into highschool and it is a big change for me. I want to be able to go in and introduce myself without stuttering. I do not talk fast, my parents just tell me to talk slower but the thing is, is that i do talk slow! i can say a sentance as slow as i can to someone and i stutter either way.

I'm just asking is there any way i can help relax my stutter?

Answer 1

Breathing techniques help accomplish banishing a stutter, i think its a speech pathologist you need to see, talk to your doctor if not and he/she'll refer you to the right place :)

good luck!

Answer 2

tell your parents to step up and get you to a speech pathologist.

Answer 3

A friend of mine has a pretty minor stutter, but its REALLY bad when he's nervous. Like, if he has to give a class presentation he can hardly talk. One day we got put into a group together and had to give a pretty long presentation and he had this like, hearing aid thing that made him hear his own voice. They're apparently supposed to work really well, though they're fairly expensive and not supposed to be used every day. I don't think its a big deal though, alot of people have a minor stutter. Just apoligize if you start tripping over words, I've never had anyone say anything to my friend, even if he's talking to people, sometimes he'll just say, "sorry, give me a minute, i'll get it"... Most people understand that kind of thing if it's minimal, and if they don't... they're not people you want to talk to anyways.

I don't really know any way other than that, sorry if i didnt help much.....

when you talk take a few minutes in between words until u can talk better. then go faster until u can talk normal speed. it takes practice.
