He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting..

[Dzwaafu11]

it is the duty of parents, teachers, and also the community to continue to monitor the small changes that occur in children, moreover, their mentality is still not stable. usually, suicide is done by people who want attention and are confused about the best way for them to solve the problems they are facing right now.

Yeah, we all know that it is the responsibility of parents, teachers, and community members to control their children in everything they do that is improper, but when we talk about addiction, it means that it is difficult to stop, and you can see that our parents can't follow us everywhere we go because they realize that we are already adults who know what is right and wrong. It is sad that these young men committed suicide, but I think they also knew what they were doing was wrong.
Therefore, all we need to do is avoid terrible buddies in every situation we find ourselves in because the majority of males today are engaging in negative behavior as a result of the changing environment.
 

for the parents out there, keep an eye on your children, keep an eye on their association from gambling and free sex under age, and don't just be busy working, because children are a responsibility that God has given us.

The two things you stated are crucial for parents to watch out for in their kids, but I'll also advise them to avoid them whenever they see their kids with someone they don't want to see them with. Instead, they should discipline them and warn them to stay away from gambling and early sex.

I do not know if he had some faith or not, but I sincerely hope he is in a pleasant place now or at least in a place without pain and suffering, sleeping until he can be back to face our creator.

Good catch. One who commits suicide enters a world where there is no sorrow, no misery, no human traffic, no war, no idols, no need for food. We all have to enter that world sooner or later. So there is no need to be sad. Like you, we will return to God one day.

Do not misunderstand me, I indeed think there is a reason to be sad, because in the end his life ended prematurely and he has left people behind who are suffering a horrible sorrow because of this.

Does it mean we all have experienced death, everyone is scared of it lol. No one knows what is on the other side, but nothing is interesting about imposing pains on ourselves and people around us. Like you said, his parents are half finished, no joy, no happiness and no laughter ever in their life. Such a thing is difficult to evacuate from the brain. Moreover, he is not the first student to risk his school fees on gambling, many students did this during my school days, how they managed to pay up after losing all in gambling, I don't know. The best alternative is to drop out from school, instead of ending his precious life.

Even if he dropped out school, still had the chance to come back after working or saving up more money, or even asking his family for help admitting he had problems.

Also, I had not idea it was so common for students to gamble with money they actually need to pay for their education, from reading this news I would have expected it to be rather a rarity than a widespread problem, specially in countries like USA or Europe, where people needs to ask for credit in order to attend college.

I know this is not about a young man in neither of those places, but still, it does not make sense...perhaps it was even money it was given to him, instead something he earned by himself.

This is indeed true or on point!

How these students able to accumulate such fund for them to play? Whats up into their minds on taking up some loan or borrowing money as if they are already making some income or having those sources for them to pay back? If they had been entrusted up by some fund and they are really that engage to gambling then for sure it would be high likely that it would be used up on there. Gambling addiction doesnt really mind whether you are young or old because once addiction hits then for sure you would really be having that huge problem on how you would really be handing up yourself on such situation or condition.

This is why that if you do decide on engaging with gambling then you should really be that responsible when it comes to spending up money or simply with your finances specially if you are still a student then it would be that just right that you should really be lessening out such engagement since we know that money is really that hard to sustain when we are still that dependent from our parents. Spending up that much would
really lead into disaster because you would really be finding for money for you to play. Better to avoid this while its still early rather than on playing more.

I’m not sure I agree with those of you blaming the parents. I am pretty sure that their child committing suicide wasn’t their goal. People do things by themselves sometimes and I feel like if help was needed it would have been provided. Having been young once myself though, I can understand how a run of bad luck could seem like the end of the world when you lack life experience.

Too spoiled I think. Some kids today are just unstoppable and they spend money on vices with the money they didn't earn. It must be parenting today where they never get to do house chores to earn their allowances unlike back in the old days where children has to participate and be useful in their family.

Felt sorry for him though. He could learn still if he just tell someone of his feelings as he has friends. According to the article the kid doesn't talk much. He could have been advised well if he just shared his guilt.

I think it is the responsibility of the parents to look after their children's activities and also make sure that they are not involved in anything which is bad for them. However, at the same time, it also matters how the parents treat their children and how comfortable are children addressing their problems with the parents.

If the parents have given a good environment to the children and they listen to their children, then these suicide cases can be reduced to a great extent. In the OP case, I am sure the young boy after losing his school fee in gambling was afraid of his parents and committed suicide. If the parents were friendly he could have talked to them, apologize, and promised not to do the same mistake again.

[darewaller]

I'm really sorry to hear about such a sad story. Yes, the consequences of gambling addiction can be devastating, affecting not only the individual but also those around them. It's sad that some individuals who find themselves in such a desperate situation often struggle to reach out for support or confide in their loved ones. They may isolate themselves, feeling trapped and hopeless.

How can we as a society create a more supportive environment for individuals struggling with gambling addiction? How can we encourage a more responsible gambling culture that emphasizes moderation and healthy boundaries? These are the questions we really need to answer if we want to avoid or at least lower the chances of these sad stories happening again in the future.

I think we are already at the limits of what it can be achieved when trying to protect those which may be vulnerable to compulsive behaviors, the only other option left would be to ban gambling completely, and this is not an option as this not only will not protect those people as they could still gamble at illegal casinos, but this will also affect those which live out of the gambling industry all over the world, so while this is a sad story there is not much we can do to prevent things like this to keep happening.

Depends on the effort that we do. If we feel so, then it might be true. We shouldn't feel bad about our selves then. It's not already our problem if someone will still go on the wrong path. But, will you agree that gambling will be banned completely when you know that you have no issues with it? Maybe you will only regret later on, when that urge to gamble suddenly came.

The truth is, gambling is innocent here. It's not their fault but it was the gambler. Maybe they already have a mental issue in which they can easily get hooked on one thing, not only in gambling. They better cure that out first. They can also ask a help to their parents or to their friends. Gambling can just wait.

It's really a shame, this is really one of those sad stories that really tell the dark side of sports betting and gambling in general, I could not help it, but had tears rolling down my cheek while reading this story..

Another future father, a future millionaire maybe, young 22 year old boy with a promising future lost to suicide after losing his school fees, and that of his friend to sport betting due to gambling addiction..

We are in the 21st century, until when before people realize that suicide does not put an end to problem, but rather create more for those living??

This is really a sad story though, ya all can read it on https://punchng.com/how-ogun-student-committed-suicide-after-losing-school-fees-to-sports-betting/?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=social

I hope we all as gamblers learn a thing or two from this, and go back and look at our gambling life and see if there is a thing or two that needs to be adjusted..
I pray non of us, and any of our relative shall ever be a victim of such a sad story 😢😢.

That is indeed a sad story and it is unfortunate that that boy chose to take his own life over money. This just goes to show how psychologically powerful money can be, in the hands of different people. I doubt most of us would ever think of doing something so dark and rash, because of a debt. The news article also says that the deceased was heir to some throne of a town in Osun State? I wonder if the problem was really about gambling addiction/money troubles or something deeper.

We may never know. But I think that gambling should be done responsibly and with a lot of self-discipline. We are only human and sometimes our emotions get the best of us. One can never be too careful.

When you do have financial problems then the only ones who could help you out would really be only your parents on which they are the ones who could help you out in times of need.Of course you would really be scolded out on what you have done but its normal that they would really be helping you out as much as they could because you are their son which it would be normal that problem should be solved and
its more that better than on taking your life just because you have this kind of debt problem on young age. This would be a lesson learned but in the end the boy on which op had mentioned did really take
his life due to this reason which i could say that it isnt really that worth for such problem.

Money problem or debt could be solved out but since you are still young then you would really still depend into your parents which it would be a normal approach but on the time that you would be
having those actual realizations then you would be able to see that you really have done wrong something in the past but its too late now. This should really be an eye opener for those
youngsters who do tend to touch up gambling.

I doubt the parents have done anything wrong in this situation. I do not know them, but it would seem to me they cared enough about the well being of their son for them to try to provide him with education. Unfortunately, they may have skipped the talk on potencial vices, like smoking, drugs, alcohol and gambling...

I can't even imagine how it feels to lose a child, and even in such horrible manner, knowing it was an agonizing death for something which was preventable. 

[TelolettOm]

This is a big lesson for everyone. We must always remember we only use small money for gambling and we don't use the money for basic needs (ex: school fees). We are familiar with the words 'use money that we can afford to lose'. As long as we follow this rule, we won't experience severe losses like this case. And we also need to tell our family about our habits, including gambling activities. So, if there is something wrong with us, our family members can remind us and help us.

I read that this was not the first time this boy has used his school fees for gamble. His father had to replace the money he wasted on gambling. There are also rumors that he has not renewed his rent after it expired because he used the money for gambling. He also used his roommate's school fees to gamble, which made the issue more complex.

His parents have always tried their best to ensure he doesn't suffer because of his addiction. His parents will receive the blame because they knew about his gambling addiction and failed to seek medical assistance. But in a country where gambling addiction is not seen as a major issue, there are none or a significant number of health facilities that offer the needed assistance, and people suffering from gambling disorders are just left to suffer. Even if there are such facilities, some persons might not be enlightened to seek psychological help or the cost might scare them away. I feel the boy committed suicide because he has incurred so much debt that he felt committing suicide will is the only option.

Unfortunately, this is the most tragic ending one can have as a result of gambling addictions.
There are many people who even today trivialize gambling addiction, thinking that people continue to gamble because they are irresponsible, without seeing that this has actually become a modern disease and that it should be treated as such and receive government assistance as soon as possible. identified at the beginning.
It is unfortunate to see that the countries that earn the most from online gambling are often the ones that provide the worst return to their inhabitants on awareness measures and help to kick the gambling habit.

Anyway, I believe that among us, most players are aware... we lose a lot of money, that's a fact, and the casinos are grateful for that but we keep playing because we love gambling, but we do it for fun and not for profit , and above all consciously.

This is pretty much true. When I was very young age adult, anytime I was disappointed with something in my life I would get suicidal. I never committed it. Noone should! Its all about lack of experience in life. There are solutions to all kinds of problems in life. Money? Guy could get help from friends and relatives even if you are gambling addict. I also don't blame his family. They probably couldn't realize how unhappy he was. Most people hide it anyways...

What happens is that just like in this case those which are going through an addiction do not look for help until it is too late, and while escaping the grasp of an addiction is difficult at the same time with the right treatment a great deal of those people should be able to recover.

However if they take such a definitive decision before asking for help then there is no way to do anything for them, as once someone has taken the decision to take their own life we have no way to assist them and beat their demons.

Suicide is never a solution to a problem primarily because a problem shared is half solved. Addiction, if not addressed with prudence, will undoubtedly result in death. Gambling has high risks, but with a desperate mindset, an individual can go a long way toward ensuring his or her goal is reached. It's a huge loss to be addicted to gambling. I know people who sold off every significant property in their possession for the purpose to settle their debts, money borrowed from friends in request to place huge sums on gambling that will not generate profits at the end of the day, but instead hardship and an unbalanced state of mind. The best thing to do is to completely avoid it.

[karabiber]

unfortunately there are some strict rules that must never be crossed. in ANY case.

- you should never entrust your money to anyone (obviously I am referring to those cases in which there is no legal contract/obligation).
- never bet money that you cannot lose.
- you should always play for fun and not to "get rich".
- one can be happy and live very well even "without money". anything can always be fixed, except death

It is easier to be inclined towards things at a young age and we experience our emotions more deeply and at their peak. I am really saddened by the news and people should not attempt suicide no matter what. We think that the mistakes we made when we were young are the end of the world, and we get the idea that there is no way out.

One of the main reasons that drives us to gamble is to be rich. I can say that the person who gambles for fun is already rich, so even if you know that you will lose, if you have the idea of being rich at the end of a job you can risk everything. Suicide is not a solution and i wish our young friend had been there to console her at that moment. My condolences to her family. I wish God's mercy on my young friend.

If someone can control himself in gambling, it won't be difficult to do. But the problem is when someone has played gambling too much, he can use more money because we know that playing gambling has many temptations and not many can resist being tempted.

Using the money we can afford is a sentence that we really have to remember and we shouldn't forget because that's what can make us really limit our gambling. And even though we can't control ourselves completely yet, we still have to try to control ourselves because we don't want to experience defeat and spend all the money we have.

Because he doesn't see a solution to the problem at hand so he makes wrong decisions like that and people who commit suicide because they are already experiencing mental problems, so it's impossible for someone to make a decision to commit suicide spontaneously and that's because of pressure and when there's a trigger then suicide was the final decision, in fact many things in the problem could be triggers not just gambling. Don't know how old the boy is but surely he is not mature enough for using money that he shouldn't spend on gambling, let alone people who are immature and not well established in the economy even adult men with a well-established economy can do this not only because they have lost a lot of things but the shame of letting your family down can be a reason too.

There has been a lot of discussion about self-control and I even gave my own responses on self-control issues several times.
Maybe someone will become a responsible gambler and avoid unwanted things if they can have self-control, but to be honest I can't easily believe that a gambler can have self-control in every game session when gambling because they will get carried away so their thoughts will only 1 gamble and gamble.
Yes using money that can be received when it is lost is very important but in this case he is a teenager who is still in school where he can get some money from his parents so it is clear that it is difficult for him to be able to accept when the money used in gambling is lost .

Children who are still in school and have entered into gambling are no longer good and will have an impact on their education. It didn't matter where the money came from but the upbringing of his parents that made him into gambling. Gambling that ends up becoming an addict will result in extreme things such as suicide, even if it is done by students. Using their school money for gambling and losing, it would weigh heavily on the child's mind. the role of parents fails in educating children when something like that happens.
