Stutters Sing Through Their Stumbles

At a lakeside camp in New York's Catskill Mountains, acceptance is the watchword as the campers plunge into song workshops and rap routines as they use the arts to momentarily escape their unshakeable stuttering problem. (Aug. 25)

I have such a terrible stutter. Even at 18 it's embarassing. Especially when trying to flirt. It's good to see this type of stuff, though. Good on 'em.

I stutter too, (also 18, haha) but it doesn't bother me too much. I've gotten over any insecurities concerning it. This is a good camp though, nice to see one exists.

Iam 19 and I still stuttering, it's only embarassing when iam in the class rome in front off my teacher because I can't even say my name, but with my friends it's mostly ok . it's a good thing to do this kind of camps . by the way if any one who have the same problem as me and want to talk I will me more than happy to contact him .

@Augustsum It is important for people to know that not all stutterers can be helped. Each case is unique. There is such a thing as raising false hopes, which can be a cruelty in itself. It would be nice if all of us as humans would just learn to be accepting of this as just one of many individual differences in human beings. We all deserve to be respected.

@27tmiss I think you will find that not all boys would make fun of you. I hope you find a nice guy who accepts you as you are, and loves you for you. I know they're out there.

@happy7117 You might be encouraged by actor James Earl Jones' story. He still stutters, I understand, but he has had a great career in acting.

Stuttering is painful. However, one still can get helped. I would recommend therapy that can be found on naturaltherapyforstuttering. -c-o-m.

i stutter it sucks dick, i recommend the hollins institute in virginia. I still stutter but have reduced it by about 80%, and ive talked to people who did the program years ago and you wouldnt even know they had a problem.
