Brief Answer:
At your age, speech and self control are the best approaches!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this stammering that you have reported. I understand your concerns and this can really undermine your self esteem and take away attention from the content of your message. Because you mentioned this is not too severe, i believe you are able to function well to a greater extend than not.
There is no permanent cure to this problem. Also, there are no medications that have been shown to work on this. Main treatment options are to help you gain control over your language control(speed) and minimize all factors that can aggravate this. For this, you would need the service of a speech language pathologist. He would evaluate your speech and see what can be done to ameliorate your speech. Main methods are controlled fluency, electronic devices and behavioral techniques to function well with your language and speech.
To talk of a one time fix is unlikely here. However, therapist would help improve your functioning and confidence tremendously. The best and most effective first step is not to pressure your speech. Go at your pace and avoid getting anxious or tensed.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
