Hi Jessica, You are asking a really big and important question. You probably know that many people who have gone to college for a long time have studied and researched stuttering in order to come up with an answer to your question. The answer, so far, is that we are not quite sure. There are many things we are sure about, however. For example, we do know that there are people all around the world who stutter, that help is available for people who stutter and their families from speech-language pathologists and self-help groups, and that people who stutter can accomplish anything they set their minds to. Indeed stuttering presents many challenges. But good things usually come when we confront our challenges with the help of our families, friends, and speech-language pathologists. Keep asking such good questions! You are on the right track. Good luck. David Shapiro
