I'm left handed.
I love to be left handed because it makes me special.
when I was little, I used to read and write right-to-left.
I still do that! I know that penguins and polar bears are left handed too. Sounds funny but I've read it somewhere.

Of coarse I do some things with my left hand too, but 98% with left, 2% right. For example, I can't use computers mouse in my right hand because that feels weird because of that hole. and in Latvia (that's the country where I live) stuff for left handers are expensive and I can't find anything more than scissors and a ruler.

Hi, im a teenager from Australia. I am the only left-hander in my family. As a little kid, i used to write from everything from right-to-left. i grew out of it though, and now i dont have many troubles writing.. apart from the smudging and the sore wrist every now and then! i do everything with my left hand and im proud of it! i think it makes me special and i wouldn't change it!!!!

I live in the USA. I also am a lefty the only one of six children in my family. I know I made my mother very nervous especially using knives, etc.
I do all the things you mentioned, reading upside down
writiing from right to left. I
like being left handed and I have noticed that there is many more lefty's now than there used to be. We have something special in common.
