[aLeXaNdEr34375]

I hate stuttering it always happens to me

[Muelysto]

A stuttering has helped me with only one thing: I keep silence more, I look smarter.

[chris2011378]

i stutter. but i think it's the best thing that has happened to me.since this has happened i have become stronger. and i feel proud of myself.i didn't care what people thought about me. and i still dont'. if someone laughed at me .i didn't worry about it. i now talk better then i used to. if their is anybody that stutters, don't worry :). and if people make fun of you .send them to hell !!!!!

[Augustsum]

[chrestor]

Rebecca, you are very couragous to have given the interview. I have only one word for it: Respect!!!

[slippocket1]

Good Video, See the New & Affordable "anti- stutter tool" (click on my name)"

[CharlieTeague]

I always stutter with the word digital, every other word is fine!

[nietorm]

also certain letters, for me like the s and p. my stutter was really bad as a teenager, but tapping my thumb and index finger very discretely at the rythm im talking really helped and now it's pretty much gone except for certain times of high stress

[darkdreamsfallen]

Ive stuttered since my dad left about 12 yrs ago! Stress makes my stuttering worse, but there are words I know Im gonna have trouble on, and I stress even before I say it. Makes me feel lyk shit!!! But Im glad everyone I know, is very patient and just wait for me to talk

[sepultura7771]

I hate when I go to mcdonalds. Same thing everytime( this is just one example ) I want 2 apple pies. But I have to say" I'll take 1 apple pie please, you know what, I'll get one more also" I can't say two no matter how hard I try. And I HATE reading my credit card # over phone. All i can figure is god put this on us so we don't fit in to much. But really who the hell knows why.

[SummertmeBrews]

[Kamae89]

@Kamae89 i had a litttle bit of speech therapy when i was younger didn't really work just went away as i got older.

[techdavey1000]

Worst bit is if you have to go to court and the idiot apology for a magistrate assumes you are lying.

[luigirules9]

i hate stuttering people get pissed off at me for taking a long time for saying words i barely talked in 1 class

[herohabesha]

[300tunes]

I don't have it bad as most of this people...

[ArrivaLaFranja21]

Co workers make fun of for Stuttering =/

[coolbrett]

Stutterers, do you find that when ordering in restaurants and stuff, that you order something you didn't necessarily want just because the thing u wanted is hard to say? I tend to order ceasar salads alot because Ceasar Salad is easy for me to say. With steaks you have to say alot.

One steak please

What sauce?

Pepper

How do you want it cooked?

Medium

Veges or fries?

Veges

Lol so I just give up. Also the word 'nuggets' I find impossible to say so I never order those at McDonalds

[hittzthagreat]

im in south carolina 23yrs old i feel everyone's pain but we just have to fight and think positive no matter how hard it gets..my stuttering gets bad over the phone or with words that start with W,the number 3,ordering food...jus stay strong..we have too

[KOPAU1624]

When people say you speak slow, is that the same as saying you stutter????

[LALA805s]

i get stuck on the S,T,H and lord knows what else i stutter at. . .

[ArnieGrape21]

I've heard that people who stutter think faster than they can speak and that's why they stutter.

[Gridlock471]

@guzmancho ... what the hell?

[OcTequila]

She has awesome support but unfortunately not all of us have that vital support. I'm 28 and I immigrated illegally from Mexico when I was 8. There's a lot of ignorance within my family. My own family made fun of me as a child and to this day they believe I choose to stutter as if I had some sort of control over it.

[myaqount]

I too am a stutterer, but it is not as bad as it used to be. I think the key is to take your time when speaking and to always remember to breathe. Also, confidence plays a key role in getting that word out when you know you're gonna have trouble with it.

[david10291029]

yeah like it hapeens to me like once a day, but not to long, like at the beginign of a sentance i say the first part of the word liek 5 times lol.=\

[105103938]

Words that start with the letter H are hard for me to say. Hello is a killa!!!

[kentusmaximus]

thhhhank yyou

[kentusmaximus]

Is stuttering the same as stammering?

[justkloey]

yeah

[david10291029]

yeah stammering is just a nicer way of saying it =]

[faizan789]

i also stutter...its genetic bcoz my father also stutters..well im in university & i have a presentation ..im very worried now

[desauka]

I'm a stutterer too, and nobody in my familly ever stutter. so i think there's different types of stutturing

[880330145789]

i have 1 fren who stutters but he is smart as hell.. fucking computer science genius. but yea sometimes its hard to understand him.. or people who stutter in general.

[bobilleg74]

Interesting. I don't stutter, but I was diagnosed with a condition called Focal Dystonia which has wrecked my ability to play my instrument completely. If you substitute the word 'talk' with 'play' in Mr Schneider's description, he is describing my condition exactly. Now, the medical prognosis of FD is that it is neurological and irreversible. However, many many musicians have been rehabilitated completely by focusing on the psychological/emotional aspect.

[RussX5Z]

Rebecca is so pretty and she stutters. Poor girl. She will probally benefit from the speech easy device. I wish there will be a cure someday for stutters because it does suck to stutter esp. when you are trying to talk and flirt with the opposite sex.

[dramallama422]

I know Phil Schneider because he was my second speech therapist. HOW THE HELL IS STUTTERING A MYSTERY? THERE ARE MILLIONS OF US IN THE WORLD!

[kcm05814]

i knew somone in the 7th grade who stuttered alot and at least the teachers gave him extra time when he read out loud

[metalwolf72]

I have to agree that it might be genetic. Both me and my twin brother happen to stutter and have done so all our lives.

[faizan789]

same here..my father stutter so as me..

[psunjka]

It's a shame that "normal" people think you have some mental disorder when they hear us talk, they mock us. The truth is totally opposite: I've seen some reports which state that stutterers have significantly higher IQs.

[DJPunch101]

teachers dont even know fuck all about stuttering

i get asked to read out infront of the whole class

and they alll laugh at me

[sevenp123]

me to. it fucking sucks. doesent the teacher know its just logical to make a kid who doesent stutter read

[timher01]

i stutter not much but enough and yes i think teachers need to be more educcated, stuttering makes a lot of kids look and act stupid and teahers seem to fall in the category of think you look stupid and act stupid, one time this kid in my had to read out loud and like the teacher helped him on every word like started sounding it out for him and i could tell the kid was pissed off at the teacher cuz the teacher made him look like a retard in front of all the kids

[yourgay110]

It's kind of funny how the interviewer starts to stutter and continues more and more as the interview goes on.

[sickulasglorie]

i stutter too much and it iz embarressing

[Biochips1]

Rebecca is a rather nice girl. Too bad she stutters. But I cannot complain, I stutter too.

[odiango]

While most teachers are aware of this defect, a large percentage (my estimate is 87%) still do not know how to help solve stammering, or even simply encourage those who do so. Our societies simply do not know what to do when somebody begin to continuously stammer. This explains why most stammerers who start out when young grow up to be adults without a single awareness that what they are going through could be significantly reduced

[SurferShan]

exactly. when i was in high school and i warned teachers about my stuttering, they didn't even seem to care or ask about it. when it was my turn to read aloud, they would watch me cry at my desk while i spent 3 minutes trying to get a word out. i'm not asking for special treatment, but teachers arent educated on the subject and they dont do anything to help the stutterer cope with other kids making fun of them.

[ziontenor]

The teacher(s)who sat and watched you struggle, knowing that you had this issue going on should be put before a firing squad! Someday, they'll open up their eyes in hell! That's just wrong!

[Met666]

That teacher should atleast have the consideration to pull the student aside when class is over, one on one and ask that student if they are comfortable reading out loud in class. For some reason though, I was very fluent when reading out loud to class in the 6th/7th grade. Guess I was lucky there!

[sugafoot777]

@ziontenor I had a teacher that used to make me read pages aloud in class and would sit there and smirk as I did it. That type of behavior toward a person that you know is struggling is inexcusable. What I don't like about this video is them saying stuttering is accompanied by facial "ticks". It's not like there are uncontrollable mental ticks going on, you're just trying to get the words out, via habitual behavior that you pick up in order to get the job done--or as close to done as possible

[senormartus]

@ziontenor I disagree... they might actually be helping you to learn how to speak publicly in relatively small spaces, like a classroom. I see it as a practice area for my stuttering.

[maldoman23]

i'm 32 and i really don't stutter, i think of it as getting stuck...i used to stutter alot when i was younger..i get stuck maybe one or twice a week

[dannyodanny]

theres def different levels some ppl are more severe

[electrodinobot]

i stutter, doesnt slow me down. that girl needs some starter words. before i stutter, i say um and works fine. japanese co worker didnt know i stuttered until i told her 2 years later lol.

[luv4shorty]

its harder for her, because the blinking and the head jerking are "secondary charicteristics" and when you have those, its worse. My son stutters and had those charicteristics but now he has a speach easy that he wears in his ear like a hearing aid and that stops him from stuttering. Its weird because if you don't stutter and try to wear it you can barely talk, but he talks fine. Its like an echo in your head that slows down speech. He says "because um" before he speaks without it.
