What do you think about the school lessons of gambling addiction?

There isn’t really much you can do to prevent people from getting addicted. It is just their destiny. Every time a person was born, the gods flip a coin and decide that person’s future. If he was lucky, he becomes someone smart enough to understand mathematics and if not, he becomes another weakling getting his blood sucked off by the gambling industry. People usually don’t get smarten up at their later age. If they can figure it all out before 20-25 then they’ll be fine. If not, then it means they choose to be a fuck up.

I find this a little bit contradictory, because you imply people are predestined to be what they are, but at the same time you acknowledge they can choose to be a "fuck up". Addictions of any kind are a illness a problem and most of problems can be solved of prevented, otherwise the concept of rehabilitation would be meanless, there are people touched rock botton, realized they had a problem and successfully recovered from it once they received professional help and support from their family and friends, of course there are also people who never manage to recover from an addiction but the fact one can fall into such a problem does not mean one is completely helpless.

I agree into some points about destiny but you could eventually changed up that destiny if you are tending to do so but its true that no one could predict on what a persons future but somewhat doing up
something in correlation on avoidance on particular things since we know on what would be the outcome could really somewhat avoid them on certain path which would might destroy their
lives thats why it would be still relevant on having this particular actions.

Lessons on gambling addiction isnt really necessary or should be put up on emphasis yet this one could really be done nor start on the parents itself if they would really be
keep on reminding or show up some awareness on whats the cons of it.

There is a lot of comic relief in this post. Well I believe addiction is hereditary in the sense that it is not a choice but a habit that is passed down to people related by blood and to this a son out of all takes after his father and daughter in same light.

I would disagree with you on this.  A person's future is affected by his decision.  One won't gamble if he decides not to.  If you are saying that math intelligence is needed to win in gambling, I beg to disagree.  Even a math genius can't predict the result of gambling (i.e a simple toss coin).  It is too random for them to predict the outcome and for those who got it right, that is just a coincidence. And I have seen lots of Math genius being hooked up and addicted to gambling in all range of ages.   I think what they lack is proper education about gambling and gambling addiction.  So I am in to try the implementation of school lessons about gambling addiction.

This is not hereditary, it’s always a choice to become a gambler and there’s a lot of instances that your father is a big time gambler, and you are not. Exposing the Children into gambling is not a good idea, as a parent you should not allow this to happen and giving a good lesson for addiction can work but it’s good for this to be taught at the College level since they are already at the right age and they know already how to control their emotion.
