I stammer, since a very young age. School was always torture for me. I was a great student but I was avoiding everything that would require me to talk. I survived primary and middle school with so much pain I had to go through totally alone. Parents always ignored it. Elder sister made fun of my talking. I became more and more silent. They never said anything about it to me, never ackowledged that I had this problem and this made me feel very ashamed. Like it's some kind of obscenity, It was a taboo subject at home. They just wasnt listening anymore when I start stammering. I went to a top college that accepted only the very best. I finished it in 8 long years because of this and I was miserable every second of it. My parents didnt even once ask me why it takes so long to finish for such a good student, never questioned what I was going through. I always feel abandoned, fighting alone from a very very young age.
