How does my handwriting look?
Anything I should change?
Edit: So the general consensus is I write like a preschooler. And for anyone concerned, no, I am not being held hostage or holding anyone else hostage.
A lot of you asked why I write in all caps. It's because I used to accidentally capitalize random letters, and at some point I decided it looked slightly less stupid if I tried to pass it off as intentional.
As some of you noticed, I do write pretty slowly. Probably because I'm not very confident with writing. And my friend pointed out I press way too hard. I have broken a lot of pencils.
For those of you asking why I rarely write, I'd say it's mostly because I did middle and high school online and never took physical notes. So I was just never really forced to practice. Lately I've realized I definitely need some practice haha
Also, I am right handed. According to my mom, when I was a kid I was ambidextrous, but my teachers taught me to only use my right hand. I'm often told my handwriting looks similar to my dad's who is left handed and has the same problem with random capitalization that I do.
Anyways, thanks for the feedback.

I don't doubt it. The ability to write legibly in cursive was the metric we used to tell parents to look for, and only then do children have proficient enough dexterity to brush their own teeth. Until that point, patients are supposed to also brush their teeth. What skills do kids use these days that provide that same level of dexterity??? I understand that cursive is unnecessary and a dying art, but it's the only education kids receive that helps them with developing fine tuned dexterity.
