If the new testament negated the old testament then there wouldn't be an old testament.
Jesus SUMMED up the 10 commandments with the three parts of his "greatest commandment": Love God with all of your heart soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself.
The 3 parts being: Love God first, neighbor second, yourself third.
Jesus did not negate them.

The New Testament is when the Old Testament was fulfilled. the old law was no longer needed because it was a way for sins to be postponed, but under the new testament sins are forgiven.
The Law in the old testament does not apply to Christians today, except for the parts which were repeated in the new testament. For example we no longer have to keep the sabbath day but we do still have to honor our father and mother (Ephesians 6:2)

Not exactly...
The New Testament is there to replace the Old Testament because of our inability to keep not only the Ten Commandments, but all of the regulations that come with them. And even then, when Christ came, he didn't come to destroy the Law, but to fulfill it. (Matthew 5:17) And not only did he fulfill the requirements of the Law for us, but he also set up a higher standard than what the letter of the Law dictated (Matthew 5-7).
Does this mean we are not bound to the Ten Commandments and all the doctrines and regulations that come with the Law? In a sense... with Christ in our life, we cannot merely consider our living in Christ as a mere following of Commandments that cannot redeem us. Rather, we must seek to have a closer relationship with Christ, surrendering ourselves to the point that...
"This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them," - Hebrews 10:16
Thus, instead of a mechanical Law, we have a living Law inside of us, one that actually has power in our lives.

The new does not negate the old. The law was fulfilled by Jesus , but the old testament is full of helpful to us as Christians.

basically New testament is like an upgrade version of Old Testament. Some things still remain some others change (Prophecies about the born of Jesus, rituals, etc.etc.) In the new testament they still feel fear of God but they no longer waits for the Messiahs.
10 Commandments are still being valid, only Jesus resume them in his only commandment, something like "love each other the same as I love you"

Nothing can negate the 10 commandments.

You have a very bad teacher that told you that the New Testament NEGATES the Old Testament.

Since Jesus fulfilled the Law he was put in a position Greater than Moses. He gave a "new" commandment that states: "I am giving YOU a new commandment, that YOU love one another; just as I have loved YOU, that YOU also love one another. 35Â By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.”
If Christians follow this commandment they will find it incompasses all of the 10 Commandments oringinally given.

Look at:
Matt.4:4 = "But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that preceedeth out of the mouth of God."
Luke 4:4 = "And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."
Matt.7:21 = "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
1Jn.3:17 = "And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
******************************...
The law of commandments are still binding today; every single one of them.
Exodus 20:1-17; Jn.14:15; 15:10; Heb.10:16; Rom.3:31; Matt.5:19; James 2:8-12; 1Jn.2:3; 3:24; Rev.14:7,12; 22:14.
The 10 Commandments are in the New Testament too:

It does not negate it. It fulfills it.
Read Hebrews chapters 9 and 10.
