I'm left handed and I heard that you could also write with your left.
How can I make it possible?

Wait. I'm confused with your question. But I'm going to try my best to answer it. I'm left-handed as well....and I've got to tell you, it's got it's advantages.

I don't know how old you are, but if you're going to apply for college, being left-handed can come quite in handy.

Did you know that there are scholarships for left handed people?
Did you know that only 10% of the American population is left-handed?

Well...I dunno what to say...other than practice if you want to become a rightie...and hope it works....

Another thing, it's rumored that left-handed people are more intelligent and smarter than right-handed people. SO why would you want to give that up?

Hope this helped.

Hold the pencil with your right hand, and start writing like your left. Your writings will look really bad on the first try and on the later ones, but with great practice, there's a chance you'll learn.

Being a lefty is cool, but being both a right-handed and a lefty, is cooler. I'm a right-handed, and am currently practicing my left.

Good luck.

Well this question is more complex then just trying to write with the opposite hand. If you are left handed, then you are right brain dominant, and that part of your brain is stronger (for you and other left handers), and controls the left side of your body better. For people that are right handed they are left brain dominant, and the left side of their brain is more stronger, so it controls the right side of their body better.
It is possible to write with the opposite hand, but it is very hard to do, because the stronger part of your brain is telling your body that you should be using your other hand (the hand that you are used to using). You basically need to train your brain and strengthen the other side of your brain by using your opposite hand repeatedly, and eventually you will be able to do it like a pro.
Now some people are born ambidextrous, where they can use both hands to do things. Now in order to be ambidextrous you have to be able to do EVERYTHING with both hands. Many people think that they are ambidextrous because they write left handed and throw with their right, well they are not ambidextrous because they cannot write right handed and throw left handed.
People that are actually ambidextrous don't have a stronger side in their brain. Both of the sides are equally strong.

I'm left handed and my parents made me practice writing with my right hand for the better part of a year. I never got legible. I think you're just stuck.

For a left-handed person to write with their right only takes practice and lots of it. The name of a person who uses both hands equally is ambidextrous.

Practice.

It just takes months of hard and painful practice to train your hand. Just as hard as it was to learn to write in the first place...maybe harder.

I'm not sure it's worth the effort. Being left-handed is really more cool, anyway.

I read a motiviational book about a guy who practiced writing with his weaker hand ever single day for about an hour and eventual was able to write just as well with both hands....Shows you can do anything with practice.

practice, practice, practice, but why would you even worry about it. I'm right handed and have tried to write with my left and it was almost impossible. If i get my right hand cut off, well then i'll worry about it when the time comes..

Why would you want to? Did you know that the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body? Therefore only left handed people are in their right minds!
