Stephanie, One of the best defenses against bullying is strong education. Yes, it does help to make class presentations, but that can make many teens and younger kids feel uncomfortable. I do think that the more education the kids/teens and their parents receive can also build a great deal of confidence (just as you are building your confidence with more experience around others that possess the skills that you want to acquire). If you do not have a local NSA or FRIENDS group, I suggest starting one. Seeing others cope with teh same difficulties can be incredibly empowering. Go to a grouo and take this teen with you. It is an amazing experience! Congratulations as you finish your degree. if you really love stuttering, consider doing a PhD in that arae. We need people like you! Best of luck, John Tetnowski
