Why being left handed is unfair

Approximately only 10% of the world's population is left handed. The effect of this is that the entire world is designed around our right-handed counterparts. From scissors to desks, to sports gear, everything is made to be used with the right hand.

The history of left-handedness is fascinating - things on the left-hand side have always been viewed as unfavourable or unlucky. The cultural stigma against left-handedness has been so great that in some cultures, left handed children have been forced to use their right hand instead. Recent studies suggest that this may contribute to learning disabilities and speech impediments.

13 August is International Left-Handers Day - which is a campaign to celebrate left-handedness and raise awareness for the difficulties lefties experience living in a right-hand world.

This is why being left handed is kinda unfair!
