Hello, I am a 16 year old and am also well affiliated with my schools Student Council. Matter of fact, I am a high ranked officer, but my speech tells a different story. When we have meeting, we will have some small arguments over certain topics, Its just that, when I’m refuting someone else’s claims, I can’t seem to produce the right amount of speech. I mean I stutter, forget words, and don’t use my extended vocab. I kind of get nervous and I want to get over that. I’m going for President next year and if I win, I want to be able to speak with power and kindness. I’m a good speaker but I really don’t know what happens. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks! 🙂

Being under stress, overly tired, or having any extreme emotion can make stuttering worse or make it start if you are prone to stutter. Make sure you are getting plenty of sleep; try to destress your life as much as possible; try to avoid situations that cause emotions like anger. The Stuttering Foundation is a great source for information and help. They have information for all ages, online videos, free e-books, and downloadable brochures.
