How does bad karma in a previous life affect u in the next life? Can u get bad karma by commiting suicide?

Does harming urself in anyway create bad karma or just harming others?

Update:

Ps I am in no way planning on commiting suicide or harming myself but I am writing a book about I girl who beloved in reincarnation and hopes that after she commites suicide she has another chance at a better life

Update 2:

How would the reincarnation cycle be broken if someone was to kill themselves or at least plan to?

    Hmmm TBH I have no idea as to the real answers, but this is what I think. Harming yourself, no, but harming others, yes. I don't think you get bad karma if you kill yourself...but if you do something really bad like murder someone then yeah it would probably affect you in the next life (unless you regret it and ask for forgiveness). Oh man part of my religious beliefs are coming through lol. Yeah it's different for different people, but you know no one can know for sure. So I think you should just write whatever you want to write, create whatever you think. It would be really imaginative that way too :)

    Actually, the Theory of Karma is not this superstitious nonsense but a very well founded Science.

    It is nothing but foolishness to go deeper into the Web of Maya [the Illusion] than to crave rebirth.

    It is this very bandhana [binding, bond] that is one of the Ashta Bandhanas [ the Eight bindings or bonds to the Illusion - Maya] that one is supposed to free himself/herself from to achieve Nirvana [Liberation]

    So, I'd say that committing suicide, which is harming herself for that purpose would be very bad Karma and by willing it, she would invite all the Karma of that life to be visited upon her in the next.

    From what I was taught, no, children do not have to pay for the bad karma of their parents, darling. They have their own karma. However, their karma may cause them to be born to a parent with bad karma, so that the karma of the parent affects the child...but it's not a transfer of responsibility.

    In Buddhist though Harming any living being, including yourself, can produce "bad" karma. What you need to understand though is that it also affects your reincarnation cycle. You may return in an even worse life in order to understand the lesson. Additionally, just because you have produced one act of "bad" karma it may not effect your life after rebirth, karma is not immediate, but it "grows" like a grape

    I don't believe so, but it would be nice to think that for the poor souls that have done so will get the happiness they deserved.

    Not that I'm an advocate for suicide that is because I'm not, I just don't judge.

    Hindus Think that There is Cycle of Births.. its a lie

    Man Birth is Once and Death Once..Then Judgement.

    Karma means Sins you have done in this life. It will be washed away by Jesus Blood He shed His blood for our sins and He rose again from Death to Justify us.

    Vedas says " sarvapapa pariharo rakthaprokshanam Avashyam ThadRaktham Param Atmeva Punyadana Baliyagam" meaning "God Must Shed Blood for the sins of the world" no hindus gods are Qualified Only JESUS CHRIST is Qualified for this Sacrifice..

    Jesus said " IAM the Way The Truth and the Life No one comes to Father except through me"

    Salvation(moksa) mukthi is Only in Jesus Christ, Because He shed His Blood to cleanse our sins. By Grace through Faith in Jesus we can attain Salvation
