I don't think there's a school will give a subject focused about gambling addiction, but a seminar or an event that discuss about gambling addiction, alcohol, drug, sex etc in just one time on school are completely fine. Usually there's few organization who will conduct that seminar every year on different schools and they even conduct a seminar for public especially for kids who doesn't school. Because most people who're addict, alcohol etc are come from not schooled.

Given all this, do you think it's worth organizing separate lessons in schools designed to tell children about gambling addiction? That is, to tell children about gambling addiction separately from addiction in general - alcohol and drug addiction.
to be honest this idea will not be effective, especially if the government applies a concept like this to be part of the school curriculum material even though it is separately.
I have to say, I don't see this idea as more important than any other addiction especially regarding drug addiction. To tell children about the dangers of addiction to gambling, alcohol, online games, drugs, is our job as parents.
everything starts from within the family circle, parents are obliged to provide knowledge about everything that can harm the child in accordance with the portion.

School lessons if done in a two way interactive way can be possibly helpful to many students who are entering puberty or adulthood. Because these are the times one can go in to the wrong steps of gambling, drug addiction and so on.
Why just gambling, there are lot of evils one can go into and a lot of psychological problems too. These things can be countered and probably be able to save some lives in the future. So I would be happy to see such developments if done in the proper way.
Currently kids are addicted to reward seeking behavior through games on phones and social media, such things fuel the tendency to go for other methods to seek rewards, like gambling.

A brief discussion by teachers would help but it's not necessary. As for me, parents are more responsible for enlightening their kids about the risks and consequences of gambling addiction. More kids nowadays are aware of the things that are happening in society including gambling so parents must also do their part. It doesn't have to be taught at schools but rather as advice for the younger generation.

All forms of addictions can pose a danger to children, a separate lesson in school to talk and address all forms of addiction specially can be of great benefit, but a special lesson about gambling addiction outside the other forms of addictions seems unnecessary, after all you can't say for a fact that gambling addiction is the worse of all addictions, there's no need for special attention, all addictions are dangerous and should be discouraged. hero member

I don't think it's necessary because gambling addiction is all about losing self control while gambling. And if they want to teach their kids about the dangers of gambling, maybe they need to teach them self-control or maybe self-psychology. I think children will learn about the dangers of gambling from their surroundings and with their friends. But if you think it's important to do, you must first consult with all parents in schools and listen to their suggestions or criticisms because each environment will be different.

Personally I think there’s a lot of things that schools should be teaching, real world type stuff, and I would certainly agree that teaching about the “dangers” of gambling would be one of them. There’s a lot of things that schools / teachers just might assume kids are being taught at home, when in reality that’s half the problem right there, they aren’t. So yes, I think it’s something teachers should focus on to educate those who may not get they education at home.

Due to the evolution of internet and technology the human behaviour changed completely to be precise we are becoming anti social and obsessed more with the social media interaction and other form of entertainment so we should not tie all this with the gambling alone.
Yes changes in the education system is important because even today in most corners of the world is sticking with century old educational system which should be tweaked as per the current situation.

Most likely it is good to be part of the lesson about gambling addiction but at the right age so they are aware it is good at the same time which is early is they have the idea what are the possible cons of having this kind of entertainment satisfaction, also the elders already guide them at the same time because most of the time they are the one who already experiences this kind of problems during their growing up stage.

I don't think we need that, we have our home and our parents to shape the future of their children, home is where the character of the child is built and shaped let's leave the parents to do their obligation to raise responsible children of course schools can help teach the bad effects of gambling addiction its already part of the subject character building in school if we have children with good character that can help them to stay away from gambling.

Considering and seeing the current situation with technology that is quite sophisticated, internet is easy to access, Wifi is moldy in all stalls and cafes plus children at school have to learn to use Android phones, it is very likely that if the supervision of parents is tenuous, it is guaranteed that 100% of minors will fall into the world of gambling.For that, if there are schools that carry out teaching methods regarding the effects and dangers of gambling addiction, I strongly support that it deserves to be prioritized as curriculum lessons in schools, not a separate lesson, it should be made into the main subject, if you remember the times like today.
Understanding gambling addiction for children, from an early age in elementary school, about the effects and dangers of gambling is the right way to be developed, plus about the effects of alcohol and drug addiction, ok.

The boundaries between gambling as entertainment and pathology have been erased. The frequency of cases of pathological gambling is increasing all over the world, which is associated with the legalization of institutions that attract thrill-seekers: lotteries, casinos, racetracks, and slot machines.
Psychologists note that gambler children at an early age are characterized by increased sociability and lack of shyness. Craving for the game is more often observed in children from disadvantaged families, as well as from families where parents play. The gambler child is constantly under stress. This condition is a favorable ground for the development of drug addiction.

I don't think it's necessary to do the thing you're asking about. Because parents can do it to remind children or their children. Apart from that, the teachers are also reminding in that matter that gambling does not have a good effect on anyone, especially minors.
Then gambling addiction seems to be part of drug and alcohol addictions. The teachers in this school taught that according to my knowledge on this matter. Have a good day to all

I think it is not necessary to go that way for children to organise a separate lesson for them on that. This should be left for the family to do that. Children already have lessons on drug addiction, that sort of lesson should be part of general addiction and not to go differently. If the gambling lesson should come then it can be on financial management and not just to gamble right or weong at least until they are up to 18 years.

As you can see, this is a very controversial issue. Although most people understand the importance of protecting youth from gambling addiction, the best strategy to address this issue has yet to be decided. How should those who work with youth discuss the risks of gambling with their students? Is it enough for schools to teach about the odds of winning instead of as well as proper money management?
While some may be motivated by a desire to raise awareness about addiction for the benefit of students, others might argue that such lessons could actually have the opposite effect. In other words, some students may end up taking pleasure in gambling, not recognizing it as an inherently flawed behavior. Ultimately, this is one of those issues that will likely depend on how it's implemented and the intentions of individual teachers in the specific situation.

In a social management there are some issues that are tried to be solved by raising awareness through education. And here is the education system for gamblers, I think it is not possible to teach only on this subject institutionally. However, it is necessary to include in the national education system about the evils of gambling and drug addiction and its consequences. Because now little boys and girls are getting addicted to drugs. If they cannot be controlled now, they will be uncontrollable in the future from which there will be no way back.

I think that this is an issue towards the family bonding. If it is going to be open in the schools, those that do not have an idea will now have the idea about gambling.
There is pros and cons on it, that is why the negative is what I can think of. Because the innocent ones can have the idea how to gamble.
And out of their curiosity, it might be the one to trigger them engage and introduced in gambling.

I don't think it would be an absolute need to add, but if they wanted to then they can, just that I don't think it's something you'd actually learn even if someone wanted to teach you. Maybe teaching them to know when and how to ask for help would be better. Cause afaik, what and the types/samples of vices are already taught in school as part of a general curriculum (at least in my case) which I would as far as I can remember, also discuss addiction and stuff like that. It's really that small of a part really, nothing more can be said since the rest of the realization part is up to the person themselves.

I personally think that gambler or gamble addicted kids are more game loving. So they can easily become more socialized. That argument is definitely right. But kids never have that much money in their pockets so gambling addiction my become very harmful in long run. Gambling addiction should be included in classes for sure. At least kids should be familiar with common games like cards and slots.

Without giving a visual evidence of what you are trying to teach, it will be hard to achieve your goal with teaching kids about gambling addiction. You can give them all necessary info, show presentation and etc, but how in IRL they will test that knowledge. We have all seen people addicted to alcohol, how bad they look, in what crap conditions they live. We have all see people addicted to drugs, the way their body look, their behaviour. But have we seen how people, that addicted to gambling, differ from other people ? For example when you walk by a casino or a place with slots, can you tell who is addicted, and put this person as an example (like look kid, if you gamble a lot, you will look like this), and who is just a regular, rare player ?

Firstly, there is a possibility that such lessons will only arouse additional interest in gambling among children (even adults, having all the information about gambling, still get addicted to it). Secondly, knowledge about how gambling works (if it is decided to tell children about gambling at all) must be taught in mathematics - if a person really understands the mechanism of gambling, he will not be reckless.
