Are you a lefty or a righty?
I write with my right hand, but i realize that i do many things with my left.

All those parents in the '70s and '80s who made their left-handed children struggle to use their right hands may be kicking themselves right about now.

My sister is a lefty, but my dad tried to force her to use her right hand when she was old enough to write. It didnt work, but he doesnt really care about now anways.

left-handed people are faster at processing multiple stimuli than righties.

Sadly, a righty. I was trying to become an ambi over the Summer. It didn't work. My friend is an ambidexterous. She was orignally was leftie but since she was into art, she had to learn to draw with her right.

I use my right-hand for basically everything. I don't get along with left-handed people. It's strange, but I've known quite a significant amount of left-handed people, and we don't get along.

I think ambi's are awesome. Its just sad that they really dont two different things at once, only write and work neatly with both

I'm commonly a righty and I only know about one person who I'm good friends with that is a lefty. My family thinks that it's bad to be a left handed person (yeah, my family's weird lol). I was left handed when I was baby but I guess some time between the ages I turned into a right handed person. O_o;; All my family members force my little baby cousin to write with his right hand (he writes with his left hand atm) and my grandmother gets mad because he always moves it back to his left haha. He'll probably change. =P

I'm right-handed. It seems that left-handed people are becoming more common. I know a whole bunch of them. I've attempted to learn to write with my left hand several times but it never works... :-/

So people that can write with both hands can only half proccess as fast as lefties? Haha. I'm right handed, and I'm glad... that means that I don't have to change up everyday things like baseball and archery to fit my leftiness. (Yeah, I realize those aren't everyday things)

I love the "right" vs. "write" mix-ups going on in this thread.

I'm right-handed. For a little while a few years ago I tried to become ambidextrous, but it didn't work.

DAMN YOU! *defeated*

I'm left-handed as well, and I attract all sorts of attention when I write because I write with the page turned sideways so my arm isn't all twisted.

Sadly, I don't get the luxury of left-handed desks at my college. That would be amazing. How does that even work? Do they just like, put left-handed desks in one small area of the room so you guys are all segregated, or are they intermingled throughout the class? This concept is so confusing to me!

At my college, all the left handed seats are towards the left end seat in the row..like in big auditoriums? and the seat next to it would be right handed so there would be a space..I don't think I'm explaining this well... hahha. the left handed desks are just mirror images of the right handed desk.

Oh, I'm ambidextrous. lol.

Oh, so they're alternated left-right-left-right?

What if your boyfriend's in the same class and he's left-handed too? I WOULD SACRIFICE AND SIT IN A REGULAR DESK TO SIT NEXT TO HIM, THAT'S WHAT.

..This is still all so new to me! Pardon my complete amusement by this subject.

I'm ambidextrous. Been one ever since I was little,My 2nd grade teacher once said to my mom that I had a issue making up my mind as to what hand I wanted to write with and that literally I would sit there and have to chose which one i wanted to use like if i was picking out a color paint.

Same I am a righty but I was an ambidextrous up to 7th grade then my Teachers forced me to just use my right hand so I lost the use of my left hand.
