Many.

He was born dirt poor to a mother who was illiterate (i.e. she could not read of write) and, for a time, picked cotton to try to make money including having baby Elvis attached to her hip in the scorching heat doing very hard manual labor.

Elvis' twin brother died at birth and this took a grave tool on his beloved mother Gladys and as Elvis learned about this as a child he felt guilty.

Elvis had many serious medical issues as a child. They include; sleep walking, Asthma, sleep apnea (he stops breathing), chronic insomnia, and susceptibility to recurrent infections in the ears, nose, and throat.

At a time Elvis and his parents lived in government subsidised housing as they were very poor.

Elvis was picked on as a child for having a funny name, wearing glasses, being poor, having his mother walk him to and from school, and later for his wild hairstyle and clothes.
