Some daily problems may just come from being left handed!
The world's first and biggest Left handed ShopLeft Handed School Experiences Survey
We have been running a major survey over the past year finding out about young left-handers' experiences at school and whether they are getting the help and advice they need or just being left to cope with right-handed tools and equipment as best they can.
The results are fascinating and show there is still a very long way to go to get equal teaching in the basics for a lot of left-handed children and that many teachers are nowhere near as well informed as we had hoped about the small things they can do to help their left-handed students.
There is a full analysis of the results on the special site we created for issued related to left-handed children.

Hebrew and Arabic are written from right to left: I wonder, do left-handers in the Middle East have it easier than us Europeans?

in science i bump people in the arm and make them mess up and in lunch one day i made a girl spill milk on her shirt *it was funny because she's not the nicest girl ever* and last year in art i got a worse grade then i would have because they didnt have any lefty scissors. but some times being a lefty is fun (the milk issue) =D

I'm left handed.I used to have this teacher in my primary school who was left handed(well,he turned ambidextrous).He told us in class one day about the left handers can't play hockey thing,and told us he managed it!And he didn't learn to be ambidextrous yet!This just shows that sometimes left handers can do the impossible

My eldest son is left handed and is often much slower ate getting information down on paper. Is this common and does anyone have any tips/advice as speed is crucial in exams

Usually if you are left handed you smear letters a way to not do that is write backwards,as long as you know what you are writing.
