when i was little everyone told me i should be in debate class in high school and become a lawyer because i was good at arguing and literal comebacks. i was so excited for debate class. but then, on our first debate, i stuttered trying to think of a good argument. in our debate class, we have free rounds where each side goes back and forth just shouting debates from the top of their heads and the other team has to rebuttle it. rebuttle means basically fighting their claim. like if someone says "kids should where uniforms to school for proper dress code" you could rebuttle by saying "kids have freedom to wear what they want, not what a school wants" but whenever i have to rebuttle or make something up i just like freeze or stutter. i dont get it. i used to be so good at it! when we have to go home and right an essay on a debate subject on something in debate class then im fine. i can stay up all night and think of tons of ways to counter somebodies idea. but speed debates are so hard! its embarrassing. how do i fix this stuttering problem?
