Hello, thank you for your question,

 

You are telling us people say you are a bad person. You yourself aren’t sure, and you’re asking if you feel that you are a bad person, would it be better to kill yourself.

 

It takes courage to reach out and share such heavy thoughts and feelings. We want you to know that you are not alone in this. Many of us go through times where we question our worth and struggle with how others perceive us. It’s an incredibly tough place to be, and we are glad you reached out for support.

 

Feeling like you’re a bad person can be an overwhelming and isolating experience. It’s important to remember that our self-perception doesn’t always align with reality. Sometimes, the words and actions of others can deeply affect how we see ourselves, but it’s so important to question those perceptions and look for perspectives from people who genuinely care about you.

 

The idea of ending your life might feel like a way to escape the pain and confusion you’re experiencing, but we want to assure you that it’s not the answer. Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems, and it takes from you the chance to heal, to grow, and to experience happiness in the future. Your life is precious, and you deserve to find happiness and fulfilment. You may find this article helpful www.childline.ie/3-ways-to-stop-worrying-about-what-people-think-of-you/.
