If you have small handwriting, then you know the struggle. “That's the smallest handwriting I've ever seen!" is a frequent saying you hear. Teachers will constantly tell you to write bigger (kinda can't do that) and constantly call you out in class (thanks for that self-esteem boost... NOT). Well, I'm here to say that I don't care. You can tell me to write bigger all you want, I'm not going to. Do I sound mean? Probably. It's not any meaner than being picked on in front of the whole class.

I'm actually doing the planet a favor, thank you very much. While people with large handwriting can only get like half a page of information on one, I'm over here saving the trees and getting three pages worth of information. People will bigger handwriting will go through notebook stuff faster because they used them up in a whole semester, while people with small handwriting can reuse theirs for the next class.

While having small handwriting can be a sign of having an introverted and reserved personality, it also shows that we are able to concentrate and handle pressure better than those with larger handwriting.

Just another one of many other struggles those with small handwriting face is the fear of not getting the grade because the teacher "can't read it" and count off for something that you can't control. I've had many teachers jokingly (?) say that they need a magnifying glass to be able to read my handwriting. Good one. SOOOOO funny.

I know I basically just listed all the downsides of having small handwriting and like two perks, but the bottom line is that people write the way they write and they're not going to change it just because of you not being able to read it. That'd be like asking someone to change their personality. It's a part of who we are. Don't ask us to change.
