Well mine is a tie between Toph and Katara and Sokka.
Because Katara and Sokka didn't grow up with a mother or father, whilst Toph did, but Katara and Sokka aren't blind, so I choose toph more, because Katara and Sokka gain their father in the end.

Either Aang or Zuko. His bison and himself are the last of their kind. He never wanted to be the Avatar, yet was forced to at an early age and knew from then on his life would change and he would have to face the Fire Lord. He blames himself for the deaths of the other airbenders for a while, because the Fire Nation struck when he left.
Then you have Zuko, scarred by his own father for simply speaking out of turn, banished by his father forced to chase the Avatar for years, hated by virtually everyone in every single nation. He had his mother taken away from him at an early age (again, by his father). He's also very confused from what he wants in life, what his destiny is, and who he really is.
Yeah, Zuko has it worse. As he said himself, he's never happy =(.
Katara and Sokka lost their mother but Zuko lost his, was scarred, and was banished by a father that didn't love him.
This aside, I'm gonna say Iroh. Let's not forget Iroh lost his son. I think that was harder than anyone else's past sufferings.
You can't really quantify suffering, especially the emotional kind. Everyone handles pain differently. On paper, it's Aang. Imagine your whole race, culture, country, and friends were all gone and you were the last of your kind. That would suck.
But, Aang tends to look at the bright side for the most part. It's just the way he is, unlike Zuko who tends to see the worst in situations. Not to say Zuko didn't have it rough. However, he did have an uncle who supported him and his own warship (that's something most people would love to have).
In the end, it all comes down to your outlook on life that determines how much pain you endure...mentally that is.

This proves my point that suffering depends on the individual since we all deal with turmoil differently. I myself would be completely content with getting kicked out of my home (be it house or country) and getting to live on a warship with crew members I get to boss around all day.

I'm not going to deny that he had a rough past. But, it clearly didn't faze him that much.
Shortly after finding out he's the last of his race:
And, as has been said, Aang had two loving friends. He had many allies throughout the Earth Kingdom. I mean, really, until "Avatar Roku", what did he care about the war? The Fire Nation was trying to capture him, but he held no ill feeling towards them. As such, his past wasn't as bad as Zuko's was. If Aang seemed to care he was the last airbender (within the first couple episodes at the least) he would certainly have a much harder past.
1. Aang.
2. Zuko.
3. Iroh.
4. Katara and Sokka.
5. Azula.
I have to agree with MarryLarry. It really depends. If you were asking who had more bad things happen to them, then I would say Aang or Zuko, but in terms of who had it worse it depends how they handle it and let it affect them. Though I would take Toph off the list and put Iroh. Being blind was not the end of the world for Toph, instead she used it for her own advantage. I would probably also put Azula on the list. Crazy dont just happen, you can tell she was groomed to be malicious, and feeling unloved by her mother. Pretty harsh.

Eh, I don't think Iroh should be there, because only until recently has he been suffering. |
