Today, I was giving a presentation to my college class. I've had a natural stutter my whole life, so I stuttered through the whole thing. My professor tried to hold in her laughter for 15 minutes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I gave a presentation. My teacher deducted points because I "need to learn how to speak more confidently, because you often stumble over your words." I have a stutter. FML
Today, while giving speech in class, I choked on my own spit and had a coughing fit while everyone stared at me intently. When I finally regained my composure, my teacher told me my time was up and to sit down. I hadn't even got finished the first paragraph. FML
Today, I gave a presentation in class. I felt pretty good about it, until afterwards when I was told I lost points for communication because I'd been chewing gum. I wasn't, I just have a speech impediment. FML
Today, I was giving a presentation when my voice cracked like a teenage boy going through puberty. The audience giggled every time it happened. FML
Today, I gathered the courage to participate in a class discussion. My professor laughed at me. FML
Today, I had a presentation for my university class. The bus was 5 minutes late, and I ended up getting to class right on time. As I took a seat, my group was asked to present. I panicked and totally bombed my presentation. FML
Today, I was giving a presentation in front of my class. Mid-speech, I felt a sudden urge to sneeze and tried to hold it in. Instead, I let out the most obnoxious, window-rattling sneeze imaginable, complete with a spray of snot, which landed on my notes. I think I traumatized my classmates for life. FML
Today, I had to give presentation at work, for which I'd extensively prepared. However, as soon as I started speaking, I had a sudden panic attack and forgot everything I'd rehearsed. I stumbled through the presentation, feeling the embarrassment steadily grow in front of my colleagues. I almost passed out. FML
Today, I was giving a speech at a conference when halfway through I got a sudden case of hiccups. For the next 5 minutes I tried to finish my presentation while hiccuping uncontrollably. The audience found it hilarious and started cheering each time I hiccuped. I’m convinced no one could tell me what the speech was actually about. FML
Today, I was giving a class presentation, when I suddenly sneezed so hard I wet myself. FML

Immaturity. that's all it is.

I've had a natural stutter too OP, the best way to overcome it is to be confident in your talking and thinking about what you are going to say next carefully. If you have a sentence in your mind already it makes it much easier that's how I've overcome most of stuttering. Nice and slow is the order, try and make your own flow.

Also adding a cadence to your tone of voice helps a lot too, that how I finally got past it.

#48 -yes! OP, try singing your presentation when you're practicing for it. Singing and whispering words instead of simply speaking them help stutterers to stutter less.

Stuttering is a real speech disability for some and anyone who believes its funny is a true prick.

Impediment, not disability

Hey, you did make it through though. If your teacher is that immature about the way you talk then they do not have maturity to be teaching. Best wishes on future speeches op.

That is a asswholes professor, he should be respectful to others when they actually trying to learn and participate on his assignment .

Asswholes? As compared to Assfractions? Or Asspieces?
