Is it possible for a right-handed 16-year-old girl to become left-handed with enough practice?

Yes it is. Practice practice practice. I shoot right handed but i am an officer and need to shoot with both hands. So i practiced and now i can use either hand. Practice doing everything with your left hand and you will become efficient. It will be very akward for awhile but you will get it. Good Luck

Possibly but I think it would be pretty difficult. I mean you have been using your right hand for writing for what probably 11 or 13 years now.
I don't know why you would want to do that though? And I hope it isn't because left-handed people are 'smarter.'

It is possible. I am naturally left handed and learned how to write with my right hand in junior and senior year of high school. In my opinion for me changing hands writing changes the way you operate and think to a certain extent. I was able to organize and focus better but didn't generate as many creative ideas switching hands. I generally write with my right hand nowadays because it is more comfortable to me but left handedness has its benefits as well.

Yes,with practice you can and hardly anybody would be able to notice. Incidentally,one doesn't have to be a left handed to give a 'left handed 'compliment to a person one doesn't like.

Yes, I am left handed but I taught myself to write with my right hand when I was about your age.

Yeah, I think it's possible to be able to write with both hands. I used to practice with my left on a chalkboard, and I became pretty good. But if I sat down to do it, my penmanship wasn't as good. Anyway, yes I think you can do it.

It would be very hard to do but it is possible. I taught myself how to bat left handed in baseball. You will be able to use both hands too though so it would be amnidexterous(SP)

You can get good with your left hand, but you'll never be as good as you are with your right hand. Why would you want to switch, though?

Yes, if you've really got nothing better to do.
For a real challenge try regaining individual motor control of your toes. You had it as a baby and it should still be there somewhere.

You wouldn't become left-handed, you would be ambidextrous (able to use both hands).
