   Lying helpless in a nursing home bed in a wet crappy diaper pressing the call button for hours and no CNA is coming!
   Being physically helpless and  needing to depend on people for (everything) while essentially waiting to die is hell on earth.

      Have you tried Texas in the middle of summer? Well, no, then, Newark is a cool breeze compared to the middle of Texas.

   Hell on Earth is a VERY long list! But just for the sake of brevity, Anything that causes pain and hopelessness is what I would call hell on earth. Being without hope or hope of rescue would be the worst thing ever. ie - like the answer from dashingscorpio.

    Not having an education, being socioeconomic poor and impoverished, living in less than human conditions.  Not having a good quality of life, constantly struggling, living from day to day, if one can call such a life living when in fact it is a living agonizing death where one dies each day psychologically, even psychically.
    
    It is being born to parents who have made stupid, irresponsible decisions and have to go through childhood deprived because your "parents" (if one can call them that) did not put much forethought into planning for you in terms of providing a quality of life which you had socioeconomic and educational opportunities.  So as a child, you are on society periphery so to speak.  You are an outsider because of your parent's irresponsible actions.
    
    It is living in East New York, Brooklyn; South Bronx,Bronx, New York'; Alphabet City, New York; and any other deprived neighborhoods throughout America. If that isn't hell, then NOTHING IS!

       That is hell for sure. I once saw a show about a kid they called zero. It broke my heart. No one wanted that kid. Nothing at all wrong with the kid, he was just totally unwanted and nobody cared.

       Austinstar, I have stressed the importance of family planning and licensing for parents.  See the end result of parents acting helter skelter, that poor child. I AM RIGHT!

       You are right. I left home at 12 years old because no one wanted me. But i was cursed with intelligence and a strong survival instinct. Not everyone is. I often wished I had never been born. It hurts too much to be unwanted.

    Being the OLDEST child in a large/very large family.
    
    
    In fact, being born into a large/very large family where you aren't even considered an individual but a number.   You are just a number to your parents who don't even acknowledge you.  You are just there, a mouth to feed, a body to clothe, if that.  You live in prison like conditions w/no privacy.  You live on top of each other & out in the open.  You lead a life which makes an imprisoned slave laborer's life seem like heaven in comparison.  In fact,  imprisoned slave laborers have a MUCH BETTER life than you do.  You are just as dehumanized as an imprisoned slave laborer.

    Being interned in a prison or concentration camp where someone else decides whether you should live or die.  Where one has to constantly fight to survive day by day, even hour by hour.   Drawing upon minimal resources to merely survive.
