Being put down alot is a bad thing cous then you go into defensive mode where you prepare yourself for something bad to happen not to get hurt, even if something bad doesn't happen you are still waiting for it, cous your in defensive mode so yes.

yes negativity at an early age can indeed turn you into a negative person with low self-esteem.
I suggest you read three books and put them into practice in your life.
Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman,
Authentic Happiness by Martin Seligman and the Six Pillars of Self Esteem by Nathaniel Brandon.

Yes! Try to look at the good instead of the bad. There are so many good things in life, try to enjoy it before its too late.

Good luck to you. Remember; you are every bit as entitled to your space in the Universe as anyone else.

that wasn't a question but more a statement of yourself but we haven't got long to live and you'll be sorry you wasn't more positive when your dead. good luck with this
