I have a stuttering problem.....?!
Question:
I have a stuttering problem.....?
Well, I've had this particular problem for as long as I can remember, at least 90% of the time, I'll stutter and stammer like an idiot when I engage in any conversation with anyone....whether it's on the phone or in person. I need help
I'm planning on becoming a police officer after HS, and know as a fact that they will not accept me with this problem....How will I supposed to serve and protect when all I do stutter.....
Does anyone have any advice, on how to stop this terrible problem....It's destroying me rep as well as my life !
thanks

Hi Jordan,
Although I don't have the problem myself, one of my best friends does, and she has been able to almost totally overcome it, except when she's really under pressure, like the boss yelling at her........ someone told her to practice whispering, that you don't stutter when you whisper. So she has done this for several years, and speaks very softly, without stuttering. You might try it, alone in your room at first, reading out loud in a whisper, and see if it works as well for you. Once you gain confidence, you can do it in public, in a soft voice, and no one will think anything of it, except that you're soft spoken. (some women love a soft spoken man too!)
