What worked for me is to find someone with handwriting that is close to perfect as it gets. Have them write a few sentences out for you. Also get them to write each letter of the alphabet in capitals and lowercase.

Then you have to study that and keep trying to do your handwriting like theirs and eventually yours will look similar with your own variation that is readable.

In the meantime, start printing things rather than do it cursive to make the teachers happy and tell them that you're practicing and once you have decent handwriting you'll switch back.

Also, are you known to be creative, artsy, or talented as an actor, dancer etc. Why do I ask this? Well, creative people 9 times out of 10 have crappy handwriting. Look at all the actors and people in sports even. So, you're in a good boat either way but practising will make your writing readable.

Hey there :)
Unfortunately some people are just destined to have bad hand writing. I was like you and it bothered me because my sisters was so lovely.
What I did was I just slowed down the pace of my writing to a point where it became more ledge able.
I also changed the way I held the pain it took me a while to get used to it but I found my hand writing really improved. It takes getting used to but I would suggest try different ways of writing sounds silly but it works you will find you write better holding the pen different ways etc.
Also try doing your letters different ways like Loopy Y's G's L's that sort of thing.
Our writing seems to change all the time as we get older like my writing was absolutely awful when I was 12/13 and now I actually have neat writing that I quite like.
Some people have naturally beautiful pen men ship others have to practice and teach themselves even at that it still might not compare to some one else's at all. As long as your writing is clear and you are happy with it thats fine :)
So basically slow down and practice different ways you will find you will be able to write clearer and quicker within time.
It also helps to have a good grasp on spelling and grammar believe it or not it improves your handwriting which from your question you seem to have!
Hope this helps
much <3
