Do I have bad luck?

First I have to start when I was younger. I lost both of my parents at a pretty young age. I lost my dad to MS when I was 5, and then I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer when I was 7. From there it was just a downward slide. I had to move to a whole different state after my mom had died as there was nobody to take care of me in Hawaii, where I originally lived. My older brother and I moved in with my grandma. My brother had severe anger issues and I was often left to raise myself as my brother needed a lot of extra attention. My brother and I only had the same mother, so my brothers dad (who left him) returned to try and get my brother. My grandma fought in court but she ended up loosing and my brother had to leave with his dad and move to another state, leaving me alone with my grandmother. My brother was the only person I had left from my life in Hawaii and I struggled with loosing him. My grandma, who is fully Korean, struggled with raising a kid again and punished me harshly for small things. (She would whoop me with a backscratcher, one time locked me in the bathroom, and would ignore me if I did anything slightly wrong) My grandma would act like a child when things didn't go her way, (I was shy and didn't talk to one of her friends, I disagreed with her on something, etc.), and I learned how to raise myself. Eventually my aunt and uncle agreed to take me in and basically adopt me. I was really happy at first, but things changed. My aunt and uncle were unreasonably strict and gave me little to no freedom. I am the youngest and the only girl in the family and they treat me a lot differently then boys in my family. I can't wear makeup, date, have social media, or wear what I want to. I can't even wear leggings. I am grateful for them taking me in, but they often ruin many things for me. I do admit I make the best of what I can and I always have a positive attitude even though I have suffered many misfortunes in my life. (This paragraph doesn't even cover it as I keep thinking of more stuff; getting sexually assaulted at the age of 5 and 6, getting bullied, etc.) So I just wanted to know, do I have bad luck?
