Ok do you ever wish you could change your handwriting? My handwriting is sooo sloppy. Even some of my teachers have trouble reading it. I often have to type up stuff because my handwriting is very bad. Is there a way you can improve it or write neater or will I be stuck writing the way i do? Is there a website that will have some sort of program to help you make your letters more accurate and neater? Any info will be apperciated. Thanks. Btw I am 15 years old. Hope I will be able to change my handwriting. ---

Practice. Write letters slowly over and over again. Eventually, you will get better. When writing things for school, concentrate on writing it more slowly than you usually do. ---
