Why do you think some people are born into a hellish existence there whole life

I was reading about this girl

She was given up by her birth mother immediately. She never even held her. Then she was in a children’s hospital in a post-communist country. That hospital had a 95% infant mortality rate at the time. But she survived, even as a baby, she was a fighter.

She eventually ended up in an orphanage, in this same post-communist country, where she was very malnourished and heavily abused.

She was finally adopted by a family, and then the father abused her heavily for years (he’s in prison now because she was brave enough to speak up after suffering years of abuse). She was in and out of residential treatment centers, and mental health hospitals her whole life. She was arrested many times as a teenager because she kept getting into more and more trouble.

And then she took her own life shortly after turning 20.

I’ve heard so many stories like that on the psych ward, people born to drug addict parents who were in the ward due to trying to suicide. Why do some people get born into the most dreadful lives?

Wow, and I thought my life was tough. I don't think your question can be answered definitively. It may not be about "why."
Life just is. It's a harder life for some of us than others. We all have our struggles and our own personal demons to fight. Some of us survive life, others conquer, and there are some, like your friend, who succumb to life.
