i am very proud to be one of the left handers club let us unite “lov u all”.
Love being left handed! I think it’s a gift. Sometimes I think that if I were right handed I probably wouldn’t be smart or as creative or whatever as I am now. I’m so thankful to be a left hander!
Hi , everyone, I’m left handed too. nice to meet you all. I really think being a left handed person is a privilege and honor, because they are very rare and always creative than others. I was very special in school although I realized my talents very recently.
I am very good in ball games as well as learning. but some times it is very embarrassing that my calculating skills are so poor.
But all the other things I am in front of all.
Am proud to be a leftie. Wasn’t born a leftie but lost use of my right arm after a car accident as a child so had to learn to write left handed. Only recently discovered this site,what a godsend!
My brother and I are both left handed and we are proud, neither of my parents are left handed or anyone from my family (that I know of)
I’m proud of myself b’cause I’m a left hand.And thanks to god.
I’m left-handed
and sometimes I’m discriminated because of it
when I found this club,I feel I’m not alone anymore
thank you
me and my sister are both left handed and they say thats rare for both children to be left handed.

Im a lefty and proud of it………………..
Hello. At last I could find an organization of ‘southpaws’. I am a left handed and I got it from my mother and uncles… and so was grandma too!
I find it difficult to use some of the real world things.. such as scissors, which are meant only for right handed people.. There should be some product variants useful to left handed people like us…
I always knew I was left handed even as a small child both of my parents were right handed and me being a lefty never seemed to bother them, one day while at school my teacher saw me writing with my left hand, she proceeded to restrain my left hand and made me write with my right hand, the next morning my mother went to have a word with the teacher in her own unique way I don’t know what was said but from then on the teacher was very accommodating, thanks mom its great being a lefty.
My mom did the exact same thing! My oldest child is a lefty and I had to fight her teachers as well.

M 2 A LEFTY GUYS..
M SO AMAZED 2 C U AL .
BEING LEFTY IS A WONDERFUL THING.!!!!!!!!!!1
Hi there, I when I began my first stages of writing as a child, I automatically knew i was left-handed. trying to write with my right hand didn’t feel right. My grandfather on my mom’s side was left handed, none of here siblings are. I am the youngest and the only one in my family who is left-handed. i feel that God created me to be left-handed.
Hi MargieThanks for winirtg. There’s no really simple answer to this. To start with, your son is going to first find out that playing Guitar Hero is not really very much like playing guitar. It makes sense that he would play the game left handed because that would mean his right hand would be doing all the interacting with the computer in order to get a good score. On Guitar Hero and other similar games, the scores are based on getting the fingers in the right place at also the right time. So he’s trusting his strong hand to handle the both the keeping in time and being in the right place on the neck as far as the buttons are concerned. But on the regular guitar each hand has its own job. If you think about it, why don’t right handed people play guitar left handed? Doing so would let the right hand handle the fretting of the notes, which seems a lot more complicated than strumming and picking. The real reason is that the guitar is first and foremost a rhythm instrument. And most people prefer to use their dominant to play rhythms. So the first thing your son will have to figure out is whether or not he can strum and keep rhythm accurately and with a good sense of ease with his left hand. If that proves to be the case, then he certainly can play left handed. If he does decide to play left handed, one thing he should know is that his future selection of guitars is going to be much more limited than if he were playing right handed. Manufacturers don’t make every guitar model available to left handed players. And. for some people (even left handed people!), that’s reason enough to go with a right handed guitar. If he’s really unsure, the best bet would be to go with a very inexpensive right handed guitar that he can just switch the strings around and play left handed to experiment. And he should definitely make a serious attempt with both ways if he’s not sure. That way if he decides to stick with playing left handed, he can then get a guitar more to his liking and you’ll probably be able to sell the right handed one (although he may decide he likes it that has happened to many folks). And if he decides to go right handed, he will have a guitar he can use until he gets to the point where he’ll want to upgrade. Hope this helps. The best of luck to you and your son and please feel free to write anytime if you want more advice. I look forward to chatting with you again. Peace
i m happy of member this site.let,s rockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I am a righty…my husband was a lefty forced to write with his right hand. My first real experience with a left handed person was when I was a Nanny. The little girl was the only left handed person in their house. She was never forced to try to do things backwards or wrong. We just found ways to make things work for her left handed.
I knew when our youngest child was not even 2 years old that she was going to be left handed. She thinks differently, processes things differently and is most definitely left handed now at 4 1/2 years old.
I’ve been doing some searching online to find the best way to teach her how to write and get on in a right handed society without many problems, while embracing her left handedness. I’ve found lots of worksheets, shops and helpful tools to guide her and me (it’s not easy being right handed and trying to teach a child to write left handed but I am determined to help her succeed). I like this site and the club, which is why I joined….if I learn more, I can teach her more and give her a head start for when she enters school next year.
Hey, I am only lefties in my family. I always something doing get and start left hands and left legs. So I have very Happy…….and proud of this web site.
LEFTIES ARE BEST IN THE WORLD.
hallo rasika ,i like your comment b,cause lefty,s are somthing different than other,s Today is my first day of joining club happy dashahara to you & your happy family ………………………. Thanking You.
hey m so glad to knw such a club existed:D bng a lefty makes me feel super spcl!!!!
I am so happy, coz I am a left handed and I born at 13th August, It is surprise for me.
Hi everyone,
)
Its great to read about the experiences of other lefties. My experiences seem to be so much different that I just have to share them with all of you. My parents realized I was going to be left handed when I was about 4 years old and stopped using both hands, obviously favoring my left. I was the only left handed person in my family. No one seemed to think anything of it, and because of that, neither did I. Throughout grade school, I was treated no different. I experienced almost no difficulties at all. Learning to write in cursive was a bit of a challenge simply because my hand smeared the ink as I wrote, but my handwriting was as good as the righties. I have always used right handed scissors with my left hand with no problems at all. I never realized that left handed scissors existed until I was in high school and till this day have never used them. I eat with my left hand, but use a knife with my right. I’ve been told I eat European style, as I don’t shift my fork. This came naturally to me, no one ever taught me to eat this way. I use a computer mouse with my left. However I swing a baseball bat and golf club right handed. I shoot pistol and rifle right handed. I even throw a bowling ball with my right hand, but I throw a baseball and football with my left, shoot pool left and attempted to learn how to play a left handed guitar. I was never influenced in any of it. I was allowed to pick up the equipment and hold it comfortably before I was actually taught how to use it. I always considered myself as very lucky and special. I can do more with both of my hands than any right handed person could. I just can’t imagine a right handed person throwing a bowling ball with his/her left, or swinging a bat or golf club left handed. Its all a matter of perspective. From the way I see it…the right handed population are the ones with the disadvantage. They can’t do nearly as much with their left hands than a leftie can do with his/her right! I really feel lefties have the best of both worlds. I really am privileged to be left handed!!
Hello, im k.t. this is so awesome, but funny!!! I did not know we have our own club for lefties. this make me feel special. I have a 13yr old son thats a lefty and his dad is a lefty as well. When my son was a baby, his grandmother tried to get him to do everything in right-hand form. My son was determined to be a lefty he kept switching it back to his left hand!!!! what make it more funny she was getting mad; i was rollin!!! I guess we are unique cause lefties are more creative and ive witnessed it for myself and my son.
Wooow,
Am aproud left hand leg and leg user, I can’t blame the create for such a rare opportunity.
MMoses
Hello fellow lefties!! Our “right handed world” has added lots of confusion to my life….especially in my younger years!! This created a slower reaction-time, in some cases, when I had to think twice to try to figure out which hand to use – there were many times I would drop something and was considered clumsy while being forced to use my right hand. This made my life difficult in school as well at home. My father also was a lefty as a child and he was forced to use his right hand. Interesting enough, my dad would try to teach me to use my right hand as well. Later in life, funny now, I write with my left and bowl with my right and my father writes with his right and bowls with his left!! What frustrates me the most is when I have to stop and think of which hand to use!!! For example, I wanted to learn how to golf. My boyfriend tells me: “you know, could you possibly try to use your right hand to golf…that way we won’t have to bother getting left-handed clubs??” I have to actually try both hands just to figure what I am…. Can any of you relate???? I believe it has effected my brain in a negative way. How many right-handed people are forced to use their left hand?
I write and eat left-handed. I just learned to live in a right-handed world, doing everything else with the wrong hand.
It’s a shame that we have to be forced to do something our body has a difficult time adapting to. It would be different if we HAD to. Some people have no choice – due to an accident which forces them to use the other hand.
I’ve gone so many years without any kind of support with my being a lefty. Thank you for the certificate. I’m 71 and I would like to work on my handwriting. Not only was I subjected to the right hand teachers on my writing but, I was one of the lucky ones to get beat for it by teachers. many thanks for your website and the internet.
I knew something was special about me. I am glad to be a part of the left handed community. WE ROCK!!!
i been a left hander all my life, all my family and friends are right handers. im glad i found this site!now i feel welcomed apart of the elite people. i play guitar,throw,write and punch with my left hand mainly
yes im so proud to be left-handed people talk about people like us but i always tell them that i was born a left-handed person thank you for making a site just for us
Being Left handed has made me feel special, and part of an elite group of people…As a Guitarist, it has really helped me to become very proficient as an artist…For me the world is backwards…All of us Lefties, should learn to play right-handed Guitars, for the vast number of the poor right-handed folks, they should begin their lessons on a left-handed guitar…and the reason is because the dominate hand should be used to play the chords, it just makes sense to me, as I grew up around a bunch of right-handed players, and I figured it was the way to do it…later in life I realized that I was blessed beyond belief not having to struggle to make even the most difficult chords, so as you can see us lefties are really cool people…Henry.
Although being left handed is lovely because it makes us different, it shouldn’t cause problems with reading. Those of us who are of a certain age just had to learn to use things with the wrong hand because that was all there was. I couldn’t use left handed scissors now because as a child there were only right handed ones, so I learned to use those.
It’s the same with reading. Kids just have to learn that in this country we read from left to right; doesn’t matter if you’re right or left handed, blue, green, hindu, moslem, martian, we still read from left to right and just have to learn that that’s how we do it.
It is really neat to have found a left-handed club! I moved here from Texas and have noticed a very high number of left-handed people here. I have never seen a town with so many left-handed people in it. Did you know God used a left-handed assassin in the Old Testament of the Bible to get rid of an evil king? The kings guards searched the guy looking for his weapon thing he was right handed, but they didn’t look on his person where a LEFT handed person would carry a knife. Anyway, I don’t remember where that incident is found in the Bible, but I seem to remember reading that all of Davids Mighty Men were left handed and they could throw a spear farther with accuracy than a right hander etc.
I have pretty well had to learn to be ambidextrious in a right handed world. Being an extremely visually oriented person, I learn by watching, which means if a right handed person taught me a particular skill, I generally use my right hand to do it, but using tools, I use whichever hand is handiest, i.e., using a screw driver, when my left hand gets tired I switch and use my right hand for awhile etc. I vastly prefer to learn a new skill with my left hand as it is easier that way, but you do what you have to in order to survive in a right handed world. I would love to learn fencing, as I would have a distinct advantage as a lefty, because lefties are used to the foibles of right handed people. Right handed people are used to other right handed people, but a left handed fencer throws them off. In high school, the baseball coach used me in batting practice and practice games as a pitcher. One of the guys had as one of his “heroes”, Mickey Mantle, the New York Yankee home run hitter, and this kid had an ego bigger than whatever. Anyway, he’d grab the heaviest bat in the rack and swagger up to the home plate and sneer at me. I delighted in striking him out. I had a curve ball that just about sizzled and he’d almost break his shoe laces swinging at that curve ball. Lol. Fun! He’d grip his bat way down by the end and swing for the fences. Mighty Casey has struck out! LOL! If any of you reading this are American and in your sixties, you’ll know what I mean.
“As the right hemisphere of the brain controls the left side of the body then only left-handers are in their right minds!”
I copied this from the t shirt from left hander’s club, this is awesome
Hi everyone, glad to be here. I have been a huge promoter of the whole left handed people being elites things for as long as I can remember. So just remember everyone Keep them left hands in shape, cause when the right handed apocolypse happens you’ll be super thanksful…lol j/k. I am also friends with predominantly are left handed which I thought was Kind of weird especially because we just all seemed to meet each other at random times. Who knows maybe we are sort of attracted to each other. I mean we are all here… right? Everyone Have Great Days ahead. GO LEFTIES!!!!
Today I am so happy that after so many years I can meet my brothers and sisters in the so called ‘evil hand’. Coming from Africa down in the interior parts of Kenya where teachers will give me lashes because I use left hand left me with pain and bitterness, but am happy we are so many. I love it so much comrades
I am proud to be a left-hander . Sometimes I have faced some problems but after some days I come to knw that near about so many lefty peoples hav faced the same problems. But now I don’t think that being a lefty is a problem. And I am proud to b a member of this site.

I love my left hand and I am proud to myself that I am a left-handed writer/user. This site is a best place to hear about other left-handed users. I will check it frequently to hear about you all.
Keep our left hand in touch!!!
This site is awesome! I have had trouble all my life with people telling me I’m backwards and that I do things in an odd manner. I like being odd and find it nice to be no so ordinary. Great products Great info and Great people. Lefties rule!!!
same case!
Same here
Hi, got on to this site while browsing… joined the club. As a left-hander, I have never felt disadvantaged, probably because my parents, teachers, friends or colleagues have never treated me differently. Barring a few incidents where I have been told that I look a bit weird writing from my left hand or stirring the pan while cooking; or was wrapped on my knuckles at a sweet shop for touching the sweets with my left hand
– I have never faced any major social stigma. I feel a lefty can do everything and yes if anything we become ambidextrous as we have to continuously navigate in a world where everything is made for right-handers. But I, for one have never been made to feel special or even different.
And yes, I have also downloaded the certificate and would put it on my office desk.
Cheers

OMG, this is a beautiful site! I´m so proud of being a member new, the left-handed people rocks!!
I am very happy to have found this site! I am a lefty and I amor it! We are muito unique & this site proves it. Why be like the rest? LEFTIES are the BEST!
*Tchau!
Lefties united!!!!!!! not everything in life is one size fits all and now our voice can be heard-product designers take note-no more drinking fountains with the lever only on the right side! any ideas for a three ring notebook? i say do away with them in class rooms-how about designing a car so that the driver can reach all the controls with their left hand?-yeah i know im dreaming big huh?
Not at all dreaming big,I dream of a left handed keyboard.
It is discrimination to force left handers to adopt to the majority.
Maybe it is something to do with the silly notion that LH’s are “evil” in christian teachings.
Why even the word right by definition says it is “correct,just” etc.
My theory is it is right handed people who are the evil ones.
How many people born with left handed dominance use their left hands irresponsibly ?
It is utter absurdity.I am interested to know how many left handed people are married to or have relationships with left handers ?
Anybody know ?

I am SOOO excited that we got a website finally!!!
That’s way the bsteest answer so far!
Do you do typo errors because your left hnaded?
I didnt have the reading frustration but, tying my shoes and using scissors now that was hard for me! I have no idea about reading from right to left but i do read magazine from back to front and start with the page on the right side..I have an idea it worked for my nephew who is left handed as well, we got him the tag jr. and then the tag its shows them how to read a book in a right handed world! good luck
Hello there! I am glad that I have found your website! I came across it while surfing for information reguarding my left-handed / 6 year old daughter – who is having a considerable amount of frustration dealing with writing AND reading. I seem to be able
to find answers to her writing problems quite easily, but I haven’t been able to find any information on helping her to read. She constantly starts to read a book from right to left. Do you have any info about left-handers and reading? I loved the writing video!!!…but, if you have anything on reading books, that would be excellent!
Thank-You for your time!
