Students and young gamblers

Just ask yourself these questions...to discover if you are addicted to gambling:

Do you stay away from school or work to gamble?
Do you gamble to escape from a boring and unhappy life?
When gambling and you run out of money do you feel lost and in despair, and need to gamble again as soon as possible?
Do you gamble until your last penny is gone, even the bus fare home or the cost of a cup of tea?
Have you lied, stolen or borrowed just to get money to gamble?
Are you reluctant to spend “gambling money” on normal things?
Do you take any interest in your family?
Do you find it difficult to concentrate on your job or education.
Do arguments, frustrations, disappointments make you want to gamble?
Have you ever thought of suicide as a way of solving your problems?

If you think you may be a compulsive gambler then contact Gamblers Anonymous or GamCare.
