@Dancingmom518 Thank you for your advice! :)) It means a lot to me!

@auntbea Thank you! Unfortunately, there is no speech therapist at my school. There are only social workers but I’m sure that my occasional stuttering can’t be solved by that.

@orionary Thanks! You’re pretty similar to me too; I typically refrain from talking in front of class when given the opportunity to but absolutely love small group discussions (3-6 people) and talking to others one-and-one, but I freeze up in front of a large number of people. It’s odd because, in small group discussions, I’m sociable and contribute a great deal to discussions. When doing group projects, I am typically the person who leads the project. However, I kind of retreat back into my shell when in front of a lot of people. Good luck on your presentation and I hope you do well! I’ll try to have fun haha.

@intparent Hmm, that’s a good idea. I’ll try. I don’t think I can get a speech therapist because they are not offered at my school and I probably would not be able to afford one too. My parents spend enough money and me and I wouldn’t want to burden them with this too.
