Issue 9

Dear Andy,

Our teacher wanted our class to write and ask you a question. Ok, here it is. Did any of your teachers in school know that you had a gambling problem or ask you about gambling?

Sara,
from Mrs. Lincoln's health class

Dear Sara and Mrs. L.,

Here is my answer--maybe and no. Looking back, I changed a lot after I started gambling. My grades went down the tubes and I hung out with different kids. I remember one teacher asking me if something was wrong, but I wasn't about to tell my secret about gambling. It is very important for teachers to know to ask questions--like "Andy, tell me about your gambling." If she had asked, would I have told her? - Maybe.

Thanks for writing,
Andy
