Brayden Harrington is a high schooler from Boscawen, NH.
The most difficult thing about stuttering was the judgment of others who didn't understand.
The most helpful thing has been my parents talking me through bad days and letting me know they will always be there for me.
Advice to my younger self;
Always keep your head up and know it will get better."
Shane Garcia is an artist from Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
The most difficult thing about stuttering was trying NOT to stutter.
The most helpful thing was realizing that I stutter. Then I stopped putting so much pressure on my speech. Also discovering my art allowed me to be express so freely I forgot I stuttered. That's when I realized that my gifts blessed to me will forever be greater than my speech.
Advice to my younger self;
Your purpose, your will is beyond what you can even think. It’s going to be ok.
Gareth Walkom is the founder of withVR. He grew-up in Basingstoke, UK and currently lives in Ghent, Belgium.
Growing-up, I found it difficult to use my voice and say what I want to say. In the past, I'd stutter on every other word, and really force it out, taking multiple breaths until it eventually came out. I hated having to say my name.
The most helpful thing for me was connecting with others who stutter, just like myself. When speaking with other people who stutter, you have a unique connection that's incredibly hard to find. You both have been through the same battles, and you understand each other. A person who stutters is a truly special friend that you'll treasure forever.
If I could offer some advice to my younger self;
It's okay to stutter. Don't hide your voice just because you speak differently to others. What you have is special, and although you may have a lot of bad days, the future will be very bright for you.
Devora Levi is a student at Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.
When I was younger, I enjoyed playing piano, playing with friends, and watching TV. Now, I enjoy playing piano and guitar, science, hanging out with friends and playing with my dog.
The hardest thing about stuttering was the anxiety and fear of speaking; feeling held back by myself.
The most helpful thing was learning to accept the stutter rather than try to get rid of it. And pushing myself to do things I was afraid to do - in the right time and never forcing it!
If I could offer some advice to my younger self;
It's a lot worse than you think it is. Try to go a little easy on yourself.
