Hello. I am a new member, and I would like to ask a question.

Is "aren't I", "Am I not" correct in the following. Which is the grammatically correct choice?

"I'm a bad boy, aren't I?" OR "I'm a bad boy, am I not?"

Or are both correct?

After I'm..., the negative question tag is aren't I? (= am I not?)
I am right, aren't I? ' yes, you are.'
