Question

once you do something bad does it stick to you for the rest of your life? and will you become a bad person?

Answer 1

I don't know if your close to god or not but for me If I did something bad,I would pray to god to forgive me.

If your not close to god, talk to a friend or someone close. The anwser is, your not a bad person. Even if you killed someone, you can be forgiven. Also don't live in the past, if people can't forgive you for something bad that you did, then they were not real friends in the first place. Don't live with regret- it will eat you alive

Answer 2

If you are a decent person you'll feel bad about having done bad things. The important thing is to learn from them, and try to make up for it to anyone you've hurt. Also, it is very important to recognize when you are unable to change on your own, and to try to get help in such a situation.

For example, if a guy smacks his girlfriend around and feels bad about it afterwards, and keeps telling himself he has to stop, but doesn't do anything beyond that and finds himself smacking her around again whenever he loses his temper, he is not a 'good person' in my opinion. A decent person would realize they have a problem changing on their own, and try to get counseling to learn how to control their anger.

'Bad' people are the ones who don't learn from their mistakes, don't try to change, and don't feel bad.

Answer 3

A person can change. Pray to God and ask for forgiveness. Also, you can do many good things to make up for it and pay pennance. Like volunteer somewhere or do something that will make you feel like a really good person.

Answer 4

I think that can happen to a person, but it is also possible to change.  Sometimes it isn't easy, sometimes the people around you won't want you to, but it is possible to learn from your mistakes and become the better for it.

Remember, everyone makes mistakes.  The trick is to not keep making the same ones.

Answer 5

You'll take it in but you aren't a bad person.  It just means you made a mistake.
