My handwriting...
My hand writing has alway been good, but now I have thus bump on my ring finger of my right hand. I learned that this while time I've been holding the pencil wrong. Grippys don't really help. Its starting to hurt my finger a lot so what should I do?

There are a few different ways to grip a pencil that make for easier control of the pen or pencil, and less stress or no pain to the hand. There are do's and don't. Your grasp may not be wrong, just wrong for you.
the idea is to find a new pencil grasp or a pencil gripping aid that works better for you. There is such a thing as OT's (occupational therapists) dealing with pencil grasp styles and there are many styles. not one of them wrong. I will post the article by an OT with good photos of all the different grasps and what they are called. You might try studying whatever you can find on the web under a search for "therapy for pencil grasps" Have you asked your teachers or the school counselor where you can turn for help in having someone work with you to show you a better way to hold the pencil. There could be some weaknesses in the hand that contribute to your problem and hand strengthening excercises would be recommended by an occupational therapist. I can't really say if you need that. If you are an adult out of school and experiencing this problem, find out if your insurance will cover a visit with an OT to learn how to avoid pain in writing.
