Sometimes, it's not really the depression and addiction to gambling that pushes them to want to commit suicide, it's pressure, pressure from people they are oweing money and all that.
This part, I forgot to mention this as some special case. Pressure is indeed one of the main culprit why some people choose to end their life because they can’t handle the criticism by others.
I read some cases that involves student that use his tuition fee or borrow money to a friend and lose it all.
Yeah, this also happened in one of Nigeria's higher institution, where a student used his school fees to bet on sports and eventually lost the money, in a bid to see how he can recover the money so that he can pay his school fees without letting his parents know what has happened, he took his friend's debit card and withdrew his school fees and used the money for betting too, when his friend confronted him, he promised his friend that he would the bet, recover and pay his money back, and also from the profit, be able to pay his own school fees too which he initially lost..
But unfortunately, the bet was also lost, and both school fees gone, the dude became depressed as a result, when the parents heard what he had done, they told the school authorities to hold him to bring out the money and pay his and his friends fees..
The student eventually was under pressure from his own parents, his friend and his parents, the school authority, plus other students who have heard the situation and mocking him, he eventually ended up killing himself, this happened in the year 2022 or 2023 if I still remember correctly.
