GAMBLING

Gambling can be fun but if one takes it to the steps of being a source of income, it can lead to a destructive life. Compulsive gambling could lead to crimes of larceny and violence. Here are some questions to ask yourself to determine if your or someone you know needs help:

·        Did you ever lost time from work or school due to gambling?

·        Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?

·        Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?

·        Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling?

·        Have you ever considered committing an illegal act due to gambling?

·        Did you often gamble until your last dollar was gone?

BULLYING  IS WRONG

Nobody has the right to hurt other people by hitting, kicking, or calling them names, spreading rumors or anything else that is intended to be upsetting.

 

If this is happening to you it is not your fault, and may want to do something to stop the bullying.

 

Stand up to bullying by exposing their actions to others and stand up to them by letting them know they are not your enemy and feel compassion for their need to bully.
