		<description>Carlos, I&#039;m glad you found this blog! I definitely understand where you are coming from. Stuttering isn&#039;t really accepted in a lot of countries. I&#039;m from the Ukraine and I speak Russian (I stutter more in Russian!), and I&#039;ve had a lot of rude people laugh at my stuttering back when I lived there. Replacing words or &quot;substituting&quot; is common within stutterers because it can seem as an escape from hiding your stuttering. The more you do it though, the harder it is to stop and it becomes almost natural to us. Also, letting people know you stutter isn&#039;t such a bad thing and the more you do it then the easier it becomes. Do it at first though, is the challenge! Feel free to send me email, my email is StutterSFilms@gmail.com</description>

		<description>Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you guys know that stuttering brings me down and that it depresses me. I have been stuttering for 10 years and since I was 20. The thing is that I stutter more in spanish than in English and that unfortunately I live in Peru now. Anywho, the more one gets closer the more they know I stuter (or that I am weird cuz I replace words sometimes with no sense ones or just stay quiet) the more I feel bad. I will follow your thoughts - that is if you ever post again :)...... At least you guys know now from me that I stutter cuz i dont say it .</description>
