How do you forget bad memories?

Answer improvedYou can never really forget the best you can do is try to make better one and try to learn a lesson about the one you have remember a memories is only the last piece of pain once felt- This won't help you deal with them I have witnessed gunfights,drugs and the death of my dad, so this wont help you i sadly turned to cigars which was a bad choice the best way to forget it is to find a trustworthy friends when you found him or her they will either give you good advise or tell you that if you have any bad memories you can always discuss them so you should share it you wont loose the memories but they will be least painful...

For me it was my girlfriend any close person to you will help.

NEVER EVER TURN TO SUICIDE YOU WILL JUST GET YOUR PARENTS DEPRESSED AND THEY MIGHT NOT WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU!

Answeri find the best way is to ask God to take that bad memory away. It seldom fails. Of course it is also good to learn from the bad memories so they don't happen again- This will help you if you are religious and believe that god can help you i haven't tried this way but I am sure it will help you in a way.
