Hello everyone I am new to this community. Didn't realise it existed. I'm amy, I'm 18, and my dad killed himself before I was born. It's always so hard explaining that to people... I'll refer to my step father so they ask 'oh are your parents divorce', so I tell them my dad is dead, to which everyone of course looks shocked and awkward, then ask how he died and I always feel so bad saying he committed suicide because I know they will look at me as if I have 3 heads and then try to change the subject. I would like to know how all of you deal with telling people, as I hate the way everyone sees me differently when I tell them. Thankyou your advice would be appreciated, I've never spoken about this to anyone before

If you need to answer but want to be vague, there's always, "He was out of the picture before I was born..." and let 'em think what they like. Chosen1 answer here is very good.
