...that writing with your left hand was wrong? My mom would make me switch hands a lot when I was writing or eating with a fork/spoon. I didn't get why since left was easier to use. I unlearned to use right more but I think it messed up my left and right coordination a bit. I still think my left is the right hand to use so confuse my left and right directions/hands sometimes. Meaning at times I'd say, "yeah go right..I mean left, oops." So annoying. I wish I just learned it my way and used my left hand like my cousin and niece. Half of my girl cousins and my only niece are lefties. No male lefties in family oddly. I was the only leftie raised to be a righty and messed me up. :(
Anyone raised to believe using left hand was wrong or anything similar to this story you'd like to share?

I was naturally left-handed but switched to use my right hand. Now I use both hands about equally, but the right for writing with horrible handwriting.

My father was left-handed and his father forced him to become right-handed. He can easily write using both left and right hands. But sometimes he blames my grandfather's decision. Half of my siblings are left-handed and being left-handed is not odd among my relatives. I'm a natural right-handed person but I use my left hand for many tasks.
Your mom did a big mistake. Why she did it? "Left hand = Devil's hand" logic or what?

Why she did it? "Left hand = Devil's hand" logic or what? Yeah. I think you need the brain naturally use the right side or left side of the body. Some people are just use more left side of brain and some use more right. This is done on it's own based on how that individual would perform best. So you can't tell your brain to pick a side you want so you shouldn't tell a lefty to be a righty or vice versa. And yeah my mom would basically say it was wrong and bad to use left hand because people use right but I would whine about it saying my left hand was nicer to me to use and right made my life more difficult. She didn't care. Would hit my hands too if I didn't listen. :( She tried correcting my niece too and after my niece started complaining a lot about, her parents were like ok just let her use her left hand because she can't write well with right and so on. So my mom decided to shut up then to my niece at least. Sometimes I thought one of my twin nephews was a lefty but can't know for sure since she never let's them use left. |

I'm left handed, and so I write with my left hamd, but, for whatever reason, I throw with my right hand.
I've never had any problems with it, except for that when I wrote with a fountain pen, the side of my hand became blue, rubbing off the ink from the paper.

Sad story but try to forget it. I just hope parents stop treating their kids like that. Like many other traits, being left/right-handed is natural and that's the way your body and mind are comfortable with it. |

I AM RIGHT HANDED AND THAT IS THE HAND I USED ON MY OWN.
WHEN MY FATHER SAW MY NEPHEW USING HIS LEFT HAND TO EAT WITH HE TOLD HIM TO START USING HIS RIGHT HAND.
I AM VOLUNTARILY TAKING A LATER IN LIFE LESSON FROM SOMEONE I MET BEFORE TO USE MY RIGHT HAND TO SAY HELLO OR BYE TO SOMEONE TO PRESERVE THE WAYS OF THE PEOPLE WE COME FROM. I AM WORKING ON REMEMBERING TO ALWAYS USE THE RIGHT WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE.
I REMEMBER BEING TOLD IN THE MILITARY TO SALUTE WITH THE RIGHT HAND IN TRAINING.
I READ IN THE OLD LAW BOOK OF THE TORAH THAT YOU SWEAR WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND AND THE RIGHT SIDE IS PREFERRED TO THE LEFT.
THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR BODY IS NOT CALLED THE WRONG SIDE BUT I WONDER IF IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT ONE SIDE IS CALLED RIGHT AND A SOCIETY WITH RELIGIOUS ROOTS USES THE RIGHT SIDE OR RIGHT HAND.
IF I HAVE A CHOICE BETWEEN BEING WRONG AND BEING RIGHT I CHOOSE RIGHT.
I HAVE READ A QURAN FROM DARUSSALEM AND ONE FROM THE INSTITUTE OF ISLAMIC KNOWLEDGE. IN THE FIRST SURAT (DARUSSALEM) YOU HAVE THE PHRASE "STRAIGHT PATH" WEAR THE OTHER QURAN SAYS "RIGHT PATH".
BE STRAIGHT AND NOT CROOKED.
BE RIGHT AND NOT WRONG.
THE LEFT SIDE HAS ITS PLACE AND PURPOSE.

No, I was never taught that. My older brother is left-handed and nobody cares. It is kind of annoying when I have to sit by him and I use my right hand and he uses the left hand and we're positioned in a manner where when we reach for our food our arms keep running into each other because they were so close to each other. We could solve this by sitting in a manner where our arms are opposite to each other but we're too lazy to switch seats.  |

IF ALLAH WILLS I WILL READ THAT BOOK AGAIN. Yup, I remember that story. God knew who He wanted to choose but the people didn't. So God told them if you see man lapping when drinking then to take them. And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. Judges 7:6 So God chose people based on different things. We're all different. Those who lap and those who didn't lap were fine but God wanted those who lapped at that time for a specific job. Right handed and left handed are fine before God but at that time God needed a left handed leader for a job. Left handed people proved to be very skilled so were able to fulfill what God wanted then. It's just a trait. Hair color, eye color, height, left or right handedness, etc are all creations of God and are good. Neither is worse than the other. |
