A Presentation About Stuttering.

Hey everybody! I haven't posted in a while because I have been working on a project. It was about low self-esteem in people who stutter. I've been working on it for almost a month now. I'll post a video of my presentation when i finish it.

I would also like to thank all frequent viewers who continued to check my blog even when I haven't posted for a while. I would also like to thank Austin Emmons for commenting on some of my posts with newer facts and also making a presentation about stuttering. I'm glad you could help raise awareness!

I am going to an NSA chapter meeting today and will chunk the post into two different parts; before and after the meeting. 

BEFORE THE MEETING:

I'm pretty excited to go to the conference meeting because I'll be seeing people who also stutter. I think it'll be a cool experience and will most likely teach me a lot! I'll describe the meeting when I come back!

AFTER THE MEETING:

Wow... that was amazing. I felt like I could really connect with the people at the meeting even though they were much older then me. I heard many stories from the people at the meeting such as past experiences with their stutter and how their stutter affect their lives now. After the chapter meeting I was asked if they could run a story about my blog on the stuttering newsletter voices! Of course, I said yes! So to sum it all up I was glad to be invited to the chapter!

Tip for people who stutter: When someone bullies you the easist thing to do it brush them off. Don't send them a text saying "I don't like you doing that" or anything like that. It's only going to make them laugh and bully you more. Just don't acknowledge it. It'll completely stop them. This isn't just for stuttering, it's for any type of bullying. Try it!

Less Frequent Posts and Another Change

Hey everyone, once I hit 20 stuttering facts I shall start posting less frequently. Maybe 1 or 2 posts a week. Not because I am lazy but because it gets harder and harder to give you new facts. I have told you the facts about stuttering. The statistics about it, but it's not enough so I need to continue. I will start to go more in depth. Write more about my experiences as a stutterer than how many people stutter or the dictionary definition of stuttering. These posts won't be as frequent but they will be much longer and hopefully be more meaningful. Hope you enjoy the change as soon as I put in effect!

Stuttering Fact #17

Daily Stuttering Fact #17

For many years stuttering was thought to be a behavioral disorder. That someone who stutters just needs to relax their jaw, they just need to slow down and the stuttering would stop. Some people were given lip or mouth exercises to stop the stutter. None of this worked so people who stutter were conceived as idiots because they couldn't talk "properly". It was also thought that finishing a sentence a person who stutters is stuck on is good. Same with "helping them out" on a word. I think people still believe this and it's one of the  main reasons people who stutter are the end of discrimination. What do you think?

Starting today I will change Truth About Stuttering. I will no longer post daily but post every 2-3 days to keep facts interesting and not have to put filler such as the post about The King's Speech. I will make each fact more interesting and follow a schedule.

Monday: Stuttering Fact
Wednesday: Personal experience with stuttering
Friday: Either tip for people who stutter or a Stuttering Fact
Saturday/Sunday (Either one): Anyone of the 3 named

Instead of a fact today I've decided to post a theory about sports and stuttering.

Sports: An expert is always willing to share their tips about how they get ahead or their work ethic.
Stuttering: A person who stutters is willing to share strategies, or any way to help someone else who stutters or what they do when stuck.

Sports: You will always hear stories about people who rose from the dust and became successful in sports.
Stuttering: You hear about stories where people with severe stutters work through it and also become successful.

Have you seen the movie The King's Speech? It's amazing, it shows that people have gotten through problems even with a stutter. It was a great movie to watch and I'm hoping to watch it again soon. Incase you didn't know what the movie is about check the little annotation (I don't think that's the right word) down below provided by imbd.com

The story of King George VI of Britain, his impromptu ascension to the throne and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch become worthy of it.
