some say right handed is better than the other one. that it signifies right and wrong?! here in my country if you are left handed they will teach you to use the other one.. but if your already a right handed person then nothings wrong... i dont know their explanation about this. its kinda confusing especially to those left handed people.

I am a right-handed and I did try to learn writing with my left as well. Basically, there is nothing wrong whether if one is right or left handed. But I did hear of some parents who actually scold, beat and forces their children to write with their right hand when they are left by nature.

Like most people, I am right-handed. Here we think that left-handed people are smarter. But since they live in a right-handed world, so they have to try to adjust to us. I love China

well, i am left handed. and i live in a country that say : using left hand is not polite, you have to use your right hand" and i really hate it. i think they didnt respect our rightful as a human. fortunately, my mom let me use my left hand, and the teacher can do nothing :) i found out that, being a left handed is difficult, because in my country, we, the left handed person have to use equipment for right handed. they didnt give facility for lefthanded person. i think it is cruel. even obama is left handed, and no one say that it is bad, isnt it. i my self felt so lucky to be left handed, because i'm smarter than the average person. they said it is because i am left handed. so no matter what people said. i am proud to be left handed

I'm left handed. & no, it doesn't signifies right or wrong. My mum did tried to teach me to use right hand to write but failed apparently. I heard stuffs like, left handed people live shorter than the right handed ones(obviously, this is not true.) and that left handed people are smarter than right handed ones...(well, maybe it's "rare" to see left handed people so most of us think of it this way...?)

There's nothing wrong with being left-handed. It's just a matter of dexterity. People should get over it, they used to burn left-handed persons in the Middle Ages, modern times have arrived. You should tell people around you to think!

I am right handed, and I never had any issues with it. I think everyone should use the hand they feel most comfortable with.
