Stuttering: Straight Talk for Teens

Stuttering: Straight Talk for Teens

posted in Society & Cultures |

The teen years are full of challenges. For teens who stutter, it can also be a lonely time. They need to know that they are not alone – and that real help is available. In this 30 minute video, teens share their experiences of stuttering and talk about what works for them. Narrated by high school student David Wilkins, who stutters himself, Stuttering: Straight Talk for Teens provides forthright information and advice on managing stuttering in academic and social settings. Noted clinicians demonstrate helpful techniques and discuss: – what stuttering is – concerns and feelings associated with stuttering – stuttering in the school setting – ways to help yourself and where to find help. This video is an excellent resource for teens and adults, their families, teachers, physicians, and speech-language pathologists. Produced by Barry Guitar, Ph.D., and Carroll Guitar, MLS, University of Vermont; Edward G. Conture, Ph.D., Vanderbilt University; Jane Fraser, Stuttering Foundation; Hugo H. Gregory, Ph.D., Northwestern University; and Peter Ramig, Ph.D., University of Colorado at Boulder.

    I find the proposed concept from this clip that stuttering is not psychological to be very irritating! The reason why, is that the mental and emotional aspects of the individual self play a very important integral role with stuttering. It isn’t solely based on speech mechanisms. The experts claim its not psychological, but then later on in the clip they say that stressful situations can effect the stutterer. See what i’m getting at, their text book opinion is absurd. I am a stutterer myself!

    @1357Animallover Wow, I think you are rather lucky that you know people who stutter! I have only met one person who does and that was only a few months ago. You are lucky. Haha

    I would really advise you to tell your teachers that you do stutter. I stuttered since i was a kid until now. I am 19 yrs old. And telling my teachers really helped me as in They wont put me on the spot. only when I am sure I wont stutter I would raise my hand to answer etc. your right me 2 infront of my family I dont stutter or other stutter i guess its because we know they know about our problems and we dont panic something like that..

    I have a stutter and so does my dad, brother and best friend so they all know how i feel.

    Im annoyed at myself of how i got my stutter, because i just started copying my brother then when i was 8 i had a real stutter.

    Do you think it would help me in class if i tell my teachers that i stutter?

    Do stutterers notice that when they talk to other stutterers they dont stutter as bad or sometimes they dont stutter at all?! Its annoying cuz thats the only time your not embarrased about your stutter!

    Im an aspiring actor guys and I dont let my stuttering back me down with anything ! I have those days where my speech is horrible and it just kills my confidence! But i still work on it and hopefully one day I’ll completely master my speech. Dont give up guys, the journey is defenitley hard and I mean…really hard! but you can stop because giving up will just make it worse. Good luck guys !

    The cadence of the voice of a stutterer is very beautiful. I know it’s painful for the person who’s stuttering, but a lot of people - me included – find it very beautiful to listen to. You’d be surprised.

    I had this same problem in high school english class (which I was in just a few years ago) I’m 21. I would get incredibly nervous as my classmates went down the line. I ended up just going through with it and I did stammer badly a good bit of the time. There was a lot of laughing. I learned to ignore it. It’s best to power through. Worrying won’t do anything about it. You have to learn to be comfortable with it otherwise it will make it worse.

    Im a Sophmore i Highschool, and the other day in English we were going down the rows and reading aloud. I got so nervous and worried about studdering i got up, told the teacher i didnt feel good and went to the office for the rest of class. And we now have to do this once a week. What do i do? The only people who understand me are my close friends. No one els understands, not even my parents. I worry about reading in class and presentations 24/7. even when im not in school.

    Love this video. I’m a speech therapist in a school, and I routinely share this video with kids who stutter. It’s a great starting point for discussion, and they relate a lot to the students in this video. I (and they) love that they didn’t edit out all of the stuttered moments. It’s so affirming for them to know that other kids stutter too!
