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

When guys teased me on my stutter, I couldn't help but punch them immediately. No matter if they were friends just joking or strangers. As a societary human beeing, you build a protection against the common insults such as " asshole" etc, but being teased on stutter stings you heart directly...

Your professor is a jerk, OP. I'm sorry she did that to you. If she does something like that again you may want to talk to your school's disability affairs office, sometimes stuttering falls under a disability classification.

I feel you OP. I had a stutter when I was a kid. Its an impairment and it can turn into a disability if it gets really bad. I hope you reported your "instructor" for unprofessional actions in class. Also I hope you got a good grade and eventually be able to get over the stutter one day.

Your teacher is pretty ******* immature. This girl in all of my classes has a speech impediment, and not one person ever laughs. We were surprised the first time we heard her, and we all kinda really dislike her because she's a know-it-all who never shuts up and inserts herself into every conversation possible... But we don't make fun of her for the stutter. We do, however, laugh at how she presents like she's doing an after school special from the nineties.

Some people are just plain cruel. I'm sure you have had a hard time with this all your life and it took a lot of courage to go up there and read your project. That teacher of all people should be understanding and not hold back laughing at you. Your teacher is a tool !
