most students can be affected by gambling, which is by paying less attention to their studies, probably when they wake up in the morning and dress up for school instead of to walk down to the school they would have to branch in any of the nearby shop to gamble, sometimes they might even get carried away to a point where they may not be able to realize that they were actually going to the school before they branched. Sometimes lack of discipline from the parents can result to such act, most parents once their child dress up to school they wouldn't even bother to call any of the teacher or principal to confirm if their child is present in the school or not, what they do is to assume this is the reason why most students easily get influence by bad people/friends.
