rHi Hussian,
This problem is an old one for apologetics, and is usually called the problem of "theodicy". I don't think there are good defenses against it. The philosopher Leibniz argued that the World we live in is indeed the best possible world, and therefore it is not God's fault that there is suffering. In a similar vein, some propose that in order for humans to have free will, it is necessary to have evil in the world. Needless to say, these arguments are not very convincing.
Of course, you posted your question on an atheist forum, and for atheists, there is no problem at all: God does not exist, and the universe simply is the way it is. No further justification is required
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Hmm. Funny how you switch your personal pronoun between 'I' and 'me'. It's been my experience that people using broken English don't do that.
Just an observation.

This place is a challenge and a place to grow. The next world is the place for perpetual peace.
In due time (like maybe a billions years of bliss), suffering will be insignificant.
