I read the previous comments, and in my opinion those kids are not poor or anything else like that. Stuttering is something that can be outreached and it doesn't have to ruin your whole life. Speech Pathologists are here to help and those kids are not ill or idiots. It' s so dissapointing that there are people who laugh at them (even in youtube).

there's a black version of praune2forever in this video, so cool!

That girl, Kate, handles her stuttering really well. She is patient and takes her time to say the word without getting frustrated or nervous:)

I'm a speech therapist, and I think this video is wonderful. It has helped some of my students to understand more about stuttering, and to not feel alone. There are lots of kids who stutter, and there are lots of ways to help kids stutter less, and feel better about themselves when they talk.
