I was born studdering. I didn't say my first sentance until I was 3. I still have it but its not as bad. I usually do it when I get nervous or I don't talk for a while. What are some things I can do it get rid of it?? I've had speech therapists but that didn't help.

You said it's not as bad as it used to be, so if you keep working on it, you can probably get it to go away almost completely. [ xo_dream's advice column | Ask xo_dream A Question ]

I'm not sure if that would work, because I'm assuming your speech therapist would have made you do them. when you don't speak for a long time you start studdring? Try reading poetry aloud in your spare time, or tongue twisters and see how that works out. The issue on you being nervous may be harder. Try calming yourself, breath in and breath out normally, and see how that works out. Good Luck.

Although like you said as you got older it started to stop a little, so maybe as life goes on it will continue to stop gradually. [ mysticpixie05's advice column | Ask mysticpixie05 A Question ]
