One of my students (who I've taught for about three years now) has a stammer. And all of her classmates are so patient and understanding with her. Never once have they ever teased her for it.
I felt zat way too. I am 32 years old. Stammering seriously limits ur life. But i am more interested in the blessings stuttering has brought to my life. I love my stammering even though i hate it a lot.
I am a victim of stammering and I was in tears while watching this video. I felt Musharaf 's pain when he could hardly say his name. I thank God and the teachers that enabled Musharaf and other members achieve their dreams of speaking again. Stammering makes me stressed and I have challenges speaking to my fellow students while at College. I pray to God to enable me speak fluently so that I can live to achieve my dreams.
I have stutter and when I saw this amazing video, I cried. I can't pronounces my name for about 4 years. I started to have stutter when I was in 4th grade. I am in 8th grade now and I still have stutter. I understand to never give up talking. Thank you.
@Fareed Qureshi am 45 and celebrating 35th anniversary of my association with stammering. I know exactly what you are going through. Never give up !! Keep trying, stay positive. There is light, am sure you will discover it.
I’ve been a stammerer all my speaking life, I’m 56 now. I found I have more trouble speaking to my family, the phone and drive thru windows. I don’t understand the family part. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and my relatives were pretty cruel even though they didn’t realize it. I would laugh with ppl when they made fun of me to keep from crying as a child and fighting as I grew up. I prayed for fluent speech all my life. I have a few more years left to achieve this I hope. Best wishes to all of us more intelligent ppl(those that stammer). Lol.
Sir Belvedere Hi, I’m a teenager and I stutter too! I also find that I stutter a lot more around my family and especially when I have to anticipate talking to someone. (Like talking to a teacher, waiting in line, ordering stuff ect.) A lot of the times when I know I’m about to stutter I choose not to say anything at all because I don’t want people to judge me. You can only imagine how frustrating this is when trying to have a conversation. Lol :P I wish you the best! We can do it!
Sir Belvedere Also, stuttering runs in my family and most of us have a genius level IQ. So, us being ‘intelligent’ is partially true, depending on what you define as intelligent.
Iris Beauty lol I too have a very high IQ. Hang in there my young pal. It will get better or as you get older you will stop giving a crap about what ppl say or think. Lol. Keep your head high. I’m praying for you and all who have this issue. Peace.
As a person living with a stammer, one thing I admire about Musharaf is his confidence. Growing up, I didn't have toys nor fancy clothes or anything to call my mine cos I was too afraid to ask for basic things like books, pens and so many things even from my parents. I grew knowing that my condition a curse so I excluded my self from the society that constantly required me to forge conversations. I had to pick up scraps from dumpsites to get money to buy the things that I needed at that time. Stammering remains to be an uphill task in my day to day activities that constantly weighs me down, but I wont be blocked from becoming a person that I really want be.
That allow it to bother you and bring u down. I'm stammer, I think my little daughter also stammer now. I'm going to coach her how to be bold and stronger. I'm bold and stronger. If you messed up, I beat the person up. That all. But now am matured man. No fight, only smiles
I can relate with you man I also wanted things from my parents but never had the courage for it. I got anger issues because of my stammer. I felt so isolated growing up because everyone thought I was shy and angry all the time. Now I have started working on it by exposing my stutter to the world and be comfortable with it. it's not easy but something has to be done. I hope you do well brother and live peacefully with your stutter.
"I don't want to be here, I want to go home and pretend that everything's fine." Honestly nearly burst into tears there, I had so much empathy for her primarily with that statement. I've thought that so many times and for many many years. So proud of them all for making such progress.
My best friend in school used to have a stammer. We never really payed too much attention to it, we just knew that’s how he spoke and didn’t hassle him for it. After some years when we were in middle school, it almost completely disappeared. I think you have to surround yourself with the right people to help build you up and your confidence, which can help someone gain their voice back
Proud of you all! Im a stammer too from morroco, too much emotions in this documentary... I wish some day to have the opportunity to express my self like that, you just gave me a hope guys!
I am a stutterer since childhood and until now. I have so many aspirations in life but it stops me from reaching it because of this problem. It pains me every day and when people laugh at me it hurts so much that I didn't want to talk to someone because I'm afraid to be laugh at, to be insulted and to be bullied by others. I have friends but they didn't know that I have this problem. I always hide my true identity just to continue in life even if it hurts. I hope that someday I can be a free man, I can be happy, and say thank you I overcome it.
If you let it stop you from living your dream then you'll never be happy. And do not hide it even if people laugh at you. Hiding it is like running away from yourself. I also stutter buy I will never let stop me from living my desired life.
That fear, the fear of being laughed at, is exactly what is holding you back. You need to say f*** them, this is my life, NOTHING is going to hold me back, and I am going to live life on my terms. Easier said than done I know, but sometimes roadblocks are there just to be overcome and to help us grow as humans.
As someone who has had a stammer since a child, this was extremely moving and beautiful ❤️ i absolutely loved this documentary and the journey these people went through is amazing and the results are astonishing. I now volunteer as a helpline assistant for Stamma, so i want to do my part and help people with a stammer.
@@Exahax101 I still stammer. Some days are worse than others. It definitely depends how confident and relaxed I feel, that makes it almost non existent.
My step sister had a stutter growing up. I always felt so bad for her because her mother was so mean to her over it. I noticed that the more pressure she was put under about it the worse it would be- but when she relaxed with friends or those she trusted sometimes she would stop all together. It made me interested in learning more about it. Now I’m going to school to help those who go through this. ❤
Unfortunately, your step sister’s story is typical. Her mother’s mean actions scared the little girl and made her turn away from her mom. The child stopped observing the way how her mother was using her speech instrument and could no longer imitate these speech actions. Left without a perfect (may be not!) role model, the girl started inventing her own ways to speak = stuttering;-( I wish her mother came to me to learn how to be a perfect model for her child.
Much Thanks. As a stutterer who turned musician to ’go with the flow’ so to speak I appreciate you. And your right…It’s those who don’t understand what it’s really like that can make it worse unknowingly.
Hello guys, I am Gulzar from Pakistan. I see myself in Musharraf. He made me cry! I went through this painful experience and faced many embarrassing and hard days in my life. I overcome this painful problem by talking to friends and facing people without noticing their negative comments. I remember, in school time it was very hard for me to talk or answer the questions, knowing the answer and facing corporal punishment always added to my frustration and pained me mentally. They punished me severely by not answering their questions. Today, I teach English in Pakistan- when I meet students with stammer speech, in my classes, I encourage them, care for them and support them to overcome their problems. I let them speak in front of the class. It really helps them. I really appreciate the efforts and support of the team. Thank you guys for supporting my people!
@@seekinggodfirst754 Yeah, they were well aware of it. My high school teachers never supported me however in secondary and at University level I found amazing teachers. Indeed they helped to overcome the problem. Thank you
I have a stammer. Watching this makes me wanna cry seeing these people do all stammerer’s worst nightmare. These are strong people. These are the people we need to look up to. So proud of everyone.
I am 33 now. I had severe stutter since birth. I had worked on it and now it is not that bad. This is the first time I watch a video of someone that stutters. I have been always afraid to see someone else that stutters. I have been bullied when I was young and even now some people still laugh at me. Never take anything for granted!!
My son did not stammer but he took speech classes from age 3 to 5th grade. My heart goes out to them. My son was embarrassed and teased in school. I really hope they get better!!♡♡ God bless!
Tomorrow I will start my university life.....Sometimes I think how I talk with my friends ...talk with lecturers,how I give unswer for question .....But After watching this video....I cant tell my happiness .....Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are all incredible brave people....the perfect ending is mushi wishing to become a teacher because his own fantastic teacher inspired him so much..and shaped his future ... what an amazing story...when you look at the news and see all the bad crap happening out there...then you see this...it restores your Faith in people....I hope that lad soars to the stars.
Musharaf is so amazing. He is so much more than I could've ever imagined myself being. I was crying at the beginning of the video. I just got emotional. I don't know...
Wow! I pretty much cried through this video! I too have a stammer, and am currently at a big point of my life - deciding my future! This video really encouraged me and reminded me that I can do anything I put my mind to. Thank you so much!
I'm amazed at Musharaf's progress! I first saw him in the Educating Yorkshire video where Mr. Burton tried the earphones with him. Mushy's stammer at that time was the worst I had ever seen in someone. I was stunned when the earphones were so successful! I'm glad he never gave up, he never stopped believing that he would get better someday, and he never changed his mind about what he wanted to do. It's so nice to see him in this video, succeeding so well.
I think Mush has star quality seriously somehow he has just gripped my soul with two hands and is tugging at my insides. We all have weird little struggles in life, but he isn't afraid to confront something so terribly difficult to live and deal with. He just has courage, the kind I could only dream of.
Here in 2019 after Tony Baker The american Comedian made meh cry 😿 with a short clip of James Critchley 😍😍I love ❤ this documentary. Many blessings too all of you!
This was very emotional. Stuttering is an arduous and very isolating condition. And to have this type of positive reinforcement is incredibly heartwarming. And man when they all could experience some fluency in the program towards the end was touching.
when I stutter sometimes I get disgusted, sometimes I don't speak I know I will be embarrassed in front of people. when I stutter I go to the bedroom and cry sometimes I blame God, why was I born into the World, just the pain and judgment I went through. even with you, you also experience that, right? 😭😭😢
Vincent I was born with Cerebral Palsy and stuttered since I was born. Don’t give up, I had a miracle from God at 35, he woke me up one night and told me to open a dancing school, I said to the Lord, you’ve got to be joking how can I open up a dancing school if I can’t speak and within three weeks my stutter stopped and I could speak. I had 35 years of words to let out. l couldn’t be in the same room as a phone, I never married or had any boyfriends because I couldn’t speak. If I don’t get anything else in life, I will always be grateful that I can speak, it changed get my life. This documentary was so emotional for me, I felt everything they felt and I am so happy for their progress. Stuttering is so isolating. I never met anyone that spoke like me growing up, it was devastating, but there is hope.
Never give up mate. One of the best people ever lived, was prophet Moses (peace be upon him). He was the only prophet that could speak directly to God, whereas all the other prophets spoke to God through angels. And he stuttered.
I'm a stutterer. I was burst in tears watching this video, especially the moment Vicky finished her introduction in the bar. It's the thing which some normal people without any speech impediment can't do. I could feel what they feel. I've experienced the moments that they had to deal with. It's very difficult & embarassed. I'm so happy to see them achieve all their goals in the end. They're not great as normal people want but for us, they're enormous. Wishing you guys all the best. You're so brave. I'm very proud of you!!!
This is heartwarming. Beautiful to see beautiful people conquer their fears and improve their articulation with the help of great supporters . May the Lord continue to richly bless, help and keep you. Don’t give up 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I was exactly like this as a kid. Usually when I tried to attempt to say a word I stamped my foot also. Luckily I don't stammer anymore. Unless I'm having to make a phone call or people start talking about stammering, that also triggers me off.
It's hard for people to understand the emotional toll that stuttering takes on a person. It can literally destroy your mental health. So awesome seeing these beautiful people take radical responsibility for their condition and overcoming!
Oh my goodness, this whole episode has me crying so much...they all did so well. I remember Musharaf from a previous video, he has come so far, his confidence oh my! I think my tear ducts are almost empty now. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I’ve been stuttering for nearly 15+ years. And I’ve nearly overcame it completely. I have watched this documentary almost 2 dozen times I love it. I used to get bullied all the time in elementary school until I found a couple good friends in middle school, then in high school. Now I’m a train control operator. I talk on radios 24/7 directing trains where they need to go. Kinda like air-traffic control but for trains. A stutter doesn’t go away overnight it takes dedication and time. I still do it from time to time. But almost non existent.
I am so happy for you. I stuttered as a child due to some trauma and although I didn’t use the method in this film, it was people who were kind like this who stuck to helping me and believing in me. Now I try to show others how to have conversations with ppl who stutter - being patient is such an easy thing to do - just be quiet and give time and appreciate the words not the way they are said. I’m so proud of everyone who lives with this and works away at getting more fluent all the time. Breathe! Good luck in your career!
@@axszzzzz How are things for you now? Have you been able to start training as a nurse. I thought I wouldn’t be able to do what I wanted and it’s not all just about magical belief in yourself but that does help a lot - so go out there and be proud of being yourself. It will come a bit at a time and I truly believe it is really important to have people in all professions who don’t always communicate the same way as everyone else. Kids need to see that people with stutters keep fighting and can be successful adults. I hope things are going ok for you. One step at a time.
@@serenathody4548 i decided i wanted to become a combat medic as a U.S Marine and then becoming a nurse, the Us military doesn’t discriminate against speech impediments so this will be nice. Im still in the process of enlisting
Seeing Musharaf speak at the end of the show brought me to tears. I can only image the happiness his feeling at that moment. To finally say what you wanna say and to be around people that understand you for who you are, and are supportive. I myself am a stutter trying to figure out my way in life.
I am empathetic towards you all but salute your attitude towards Life. I used to stammer till age 12 which downplayed my confidence and public speaking skills for almost 6 years since then. Not sure how did went away. By 20 I was hosting convocation, farewell ceremonies in college. Used to be looked upon as a eloquent speaker (they didn't even know my background lol). Don't get to talk a lot since the nature of my work is different mostly analytical. But one think I have realised words are only medium to express yourself. God bless
I wish I knew more people that stuttered. I know I'm not alone, but it would be nice to personally know someone else going through this. Laughing about our most awkward moments and our most proud.
Hey guys even i stutter n i can feel what u feel when u cant speak out what you want to. I have been stuttering since i was a kid n my stuttering has increased now i am 16 n i feel scared for having a conversation wid anyone because sometimes people get impatient n r rude. i am scared to give an order in a restaurant .... my classmates always made fun of me ,my cousins , my real brother n even my dad i tried a speech therapist but it didnt work out. Guys u all r very brave actually every person in this world who stutters is brave n i pray n one day every one will have a fluent speech as v wish . ALL THE BEST GUYS LOVE U
Wow, what a heart warming story. It gave me such a good feeling that we can reach out to our fellow men/women and help them with their journey through what can be a difficult trip for many of us.
I have had a stutter ever since I could speak. Granted it isn't too bad and I can mostly speak but now being 24 and working full time stuttering as had its setbacks. I am thinking maybe I should have worked on it all those years ago... it sucks there are so many people ignorant about people who stutter and I have been laughed at by customers too. Kudos to all these people who have worked and overcame their stutter.
Musharaf, please listen to Scatman John, he was one of the biggest stammers of all time and had top 10 hits with singing and rapping on all of them. Your future is bright, you are amazing
