Hi Monica. Yes, friendship is an important tool facing our fears. The Beatles sang about it "With a little help from my friends". That's also why support groups are so important. My youth has been tough, with parents who couldn't accept my stutter and teachers and other pupils bullying me. But my life changed for the better once I found other people who stutter at the age of 27 (!) and I've not been quiet since. :-) And today I use my experiences to help others and to spread the word. I've had no formal training, but hitting rock bottom plus finding the stuttering movement changed my life and the way I saw mysef and th world around me. But later on I learned more about cognitive thinking, NLP and public speaking, which helped me a lot. I hope more will find ways to feel good about themselves. Keep talking! Anita
