Next comes Eddie's story:

"I'm thirteen years old. I have been stuttering for a long time, about eight years, I think. I started speech therapy when I turned 12. First I went to a lady therapist, but afterwards I went to a male therapist. He keeps telling me it is alright to stutter, but deep inside I think differently. I feel dreadfully ashamed when I stutter. For me it is a real handicap."
