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.

It is worth tackling since most children would eventually get exposed to gambling through other ways, and having these early lessons could serve as a guide for them in the future. I don't see the downsides to having a few lessons about gambling addiction even though schools aren't required to have these types of lessons I still think it'll help their students in some way.

At least providing education about gambling at a young age is a good thing because usually when children are prohibited from approaching gambling, they will try to find out what gambling is and become more and more curious about gambling until finally making them addicted to gambling, From research in several cases with the observations of some children who have been given education about something bad then they will stay away from it and will not approach it because they already know the result that it is not good and will not find out anymore because he already understands it, so that way can reduce people who are potentially addicted to gambling.

Perhaps they can talk it outside of school like with their parents on someone older than them? At least for me that is the case, although I have seen my father gamble, but I didn't follow him when I was a little. But they gave me lessons about gambling that I can't go play and understand the bad effects. So the education for me started at my own home and not in school. It's that when I grow up, have a decent job and that I was influence by one office mate to go to casinos, but I old enough that time.
