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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

What a horrible person. She's a teacher and the class will follow her lead on how to behave and treat people, she should be above this. Also, by the time you're in college laughing at stuff like this should be behind you.

My 10th grade pre calculus tutor stuttered. He is a brilliant man and a mathematician. He has a bad stutter and when he taught and started to stutter, he's have to stop for a few seconds and continue. I never made fun of him though and Hated people who teased him relentlessly. They were so ******* cruel...ironic thing was the bullies (half were in the special ed classes cause they were so stupid and lazy) couldn't hardly read despite being in high school.

I've never fully understood the aspects of stuttering, lisps and other speech impediments, but I have other issues that I'm embarrassed of that cause stage fright. I applaud OP for having the courage to get in front of everyone despite the problem. #5 had the most accurate comment, not only about the prof, but all the other asshats and twat waffles that have harassed you!

Hey OP, just wanted to say that I feel for you! I have a natural stutter too (along w/ social anxiety) so I get it. Sorry your prof. was a douche about it

i used to have a stutter and social anxiety as well, but when i got over my sa i lost the stutter as well. its a possibility your sa is causing the stutter and if you lose that you'll lose them both.
