How many of you are left handed? [I Ask]

I am. When I was younger I went to a private catholic school. The teachers would hit my hand with a ruler and said it was a sign of the devil. Tried to make me use my other hand. I'm so glad I got out of there in the 4th grade

I am ambidextrous from birth on. Fortunately, no one tried to change that when I was in school but accepted that I used my hands alternately.

@RobinPhoenix yeah I mostly use both now

@SolGryn After all, you can do that now, but it still wasn't right what the teachers did back then. Causing you pain just because you followed your nature was totally unnecessary and malicious.

@RobinPhoenix they did it to my brothers too. Religion can be very strict. But maybe it did me some good because now I can use both pretty well. Its difficult being left handed in a right handed world
