Hi Breena Thanks for your question - very interesting. You asked if it would have been easier for me to deal with my stuttering if I hadn’t been bullied. Well, I would certainly have attempted to perhaps defend myself verbally a little more and answer back. I was just so quiet - and so afraid of talking. So yes, I guess I would have handled things a little diferently, though even fluent kids have a fear of speaking up, mostly because they are afraid of the consequences rather than a fear of speaking. I guess many people can relate to that. All the best Gina
