That is because you need to apply constant pressure when using a BP, with a FP it is different pressure has nothing to do with whether it writes or not but with the width of the line.

They told us so in elementary school, when the handwriting was still developing. We first used some kind of "crayon pens", later, also pencils were allowed. That's why I found it quite odd to say a ballpoint would ruin it, as I don't see the difference in pressure to crayon/pencils.

Regarding the example: Your handwriting looks the best with the Parker, though not too much difference towards the ballpoint, but the readability is much better, due to color and no broken lines.

@ convoy hunter: They're all pretty good. I can read them easily, and that makes them better than mine.

Parker Vector. The cheapest of the Parker models. Actually, my 4 or 5th one, plus I had one Parker with its "body" made of epoxy resin instead of plastic like in Vector.
