The only things that can affect you is those you let affect you. Everyone has had something bad happen to them, but that doesnt mean they have to mean they will be depressed or suicidal in adulthood. How many serial killers, rapists, criminals, blame their state on their childhood and things that happened to them. But there are even more people who had the same things happen to them but they grew up to be a functional person. You can change anything and everything about yourself if you want. You are in control. You are the one thats in control of your faith. Of course parents (or bad parenting) can have a bad impact on someone, but they can change that if they want.
I believe in will power and character.

And not all people have the same bad experiences, so it's not like everyone has bad things. Depends on what kind of bad things.
And I definitely dont agree with this part: But there are even more people who had the same things happen to them but they grew up to be a functional person.
Is they were majority, we wouldnt have so many thieves, killers, rapists, criminals etc.
They are minority.
