Dan, It's great to hear that you are able to stutter more openly at school and that the intense feelings of anxiety and embarrassment are decreasing. When I was in HS I didn't have the guts to to that. Maybe the other people you mention are not as willing to face their own fears. It does suck though! I mean if when I was in HS there were other people who also stuttered, it would have made stuttering that so much easier for me. So to know there are other people who stutter in you school, but that they are hiding, must be tough. I guess I'd just say don't stop now. You are doing something that is so incredibly hard to do. If the kids in your school knew how frightening it is to talk, they would be so impressed with the fact you are facing your fears and communicating. Hey.. they may not know it, but I do! And I'm impressed in a BIG WAY!
