When the situation of the country is too hard to comprehend, youths who are supposed to be the future leaders will start turning into criminals in front of us.

This is the third case that have happened to someone very close to me ( not family ), and they all have one thing in common, SPOUSE ABUSE and CRIME.

I knew this gentle soul growing up in my street, who just turned 24 years old and now he was into gambling without anyone knowing at home for the past 1 year, the only point that I hold unto from his mother is how he maltreated his junior brothers and sisters and he also have anger issues.

I have come to understand that having a negative impact on people close to you or your family could be a sign of compulsive gambling, to the extent that this boy start maltreating his junior ones, I mean inflicting pains on them.

The other two cases that I knew about gambling addict ( one in the family ) also have something similar to this behaviour, anger issues, criminal activities like burglary and disrespect of parents, I think countries with high rate of struggles and hardship will always have this type of problems.

Is there any effective way to make sure youths stays where the are told to stay instead of looking for quick money? Gambling isn't the solution to poverty it will possibly drown you deep into more poverty.

It could be, but I don't believe it is. Having a bad mind or not having any sign of sympathy for your loved ones and family members up to the extent of maltreating them is inhuman, and that's not a problem caused by gambling; it's a personal disease that the person needs to work on himself in order to get those rides out of him.
 
I know the disappointment that always comes when someone loses a game and the anger that will be attached to it because no one will feel happy about losing money, but that one alone does not warrant maltreating someone who has nothing to do with the game you lose. Most times, our relatives are supposed to be the ones whom we look up to, and we use their expressions to chear ourselves up instead of turning them to our punishment receiver.
 
Even if the said person has been stopped from gambling and no longer has access to gambling, there is still no guarantee that they will stop that reckless behaviour; it's inbuilt in them, and they need to work on it. Even if they are chasing a different carrier, any small thing that will provoke their anger can still bring back that beast in them.
 
 

This depends on individual who aren't patient enough to source for a livelihood apart from gambling and causing pains to their families, let us also consider that in the country where things are hard there are other fellow youth that are making it even without gambling or without involving themselves in any evil practice or activities. The thing is, people always looks for whom to apportioned blame on because those who made didn't involved themselves in gambling or turning to gambling addicts in a way to influence their environment negatively.

If youth are devoted in acquiring skills and learning hand works for those whose country aren't making any ways for should focused on self developer and employment, to cry loud I have also seen people doing pety business to help their lifes they made it through that business and today the employer of labour, they created employment opportunities for those who can't create any and by doing this, they have also help to build the country as well.

In my opinion there are several ways that can be said to be quite important and quite effective to avoid this problem, I think environmental factors have a very important influence in this problem and also the role of parents cannot be forgotten, parents must really be able to limit whatever their children's activities are especially in the problem of the playing environment because obviously it can really bring negative or positive influences. And besides that, both parents must also be able to emphasize to their children that nothing is instant especially in terms of making money, and what is feared is that it is very possible that they will assume that gambling can be a solution place to make money. It is very clear that this is not a place for your poverty solution, instead of getting a win but the fact that happens instead you get worse in financial problems, it is very possible and many have experienced it.

Well I understand that for teenagers they are still very young, and that is very dangerous because as we know their curiosity about something is very high, so if they know that there is a chance of winning in gambling then it is very likely that they will like this activity, even though the reality is the opposite. The bottom line in my opinion is because they are still unstable so it must be the parents who try to prevent, keep away from everything that can make them gamble, such as the environment or social media.

Life is difficult right now and we always lol for ways to make sure that we pay our bills and take good care of our family. Inflation is everywhere that is why many people opted into gambling for a better means of survival and if we see that kind of person becoming aggressive when gambling especially when things go wrong, we need to understand that it is fight for survival. So to get a good job is very hard these days, we need to make sure that we keep growing and taking our tree responsibility as a man or human in the family.

Sometimes such things happen because our greed shuts our senses and we really don't understand what we are doing. Such youths who fall into gambling addiction are the ones who want to earn a lot of money in short duration of time but they really don't understand much about economics and find gambling as a way to quickly get rich.

Actually they don't understand gambling as well and think that gambling will allow them to multiply their money many times, but when they lose bets they get frustrated because of the losses and due to frustration their personality starts changing over time.

Those people start to mistreat their loved ones because they got addicted for gambling and find gambling more interesting than their family and loved ones. Some people lose the bets and believe that they lose the bets due to the luck of the others who are close to them and that's another reason for such behavior.

The best solution is to teach youth about the principles of economics and how money works. One should also teach them that earning money quickly is a type of scam that fake influencer install in our minds. Everyone has different struggles to reach financial freedom in their lives and if someone is born into a financially weak family then that person has to struggle a lot.

The struggle can be in the form of learning of skills and making money by utilizing those skills or the struggle can be in the form of education and other qualifications that would allow them to get a proper job. Gambling is good for entertainment purpose but it is not something that could end up the bondage of poverty and if someone thinks that they could get rich quick by following the path of gambling then such person as to lose a lot things in his/her life.

Best solution? Parental guidance simple as that, without the correct guidance of their parents then they will be exposed in not just gambling but any crimes that they can learn. Solution to poverty? Well maybe what I will say is easier that said, I think there 2 main factors to blame why people be in poverty, 1st government, 2nd the person itself, I will not elaborate more. So I agree gambling isn't the solution for poverty it is only a hobby for those fortunate that waste their money for fun and entertainment, for those who don't? Then it could be the start of their misery life.

That's happen in every addictions e.g. drugs, sex, smoking, alcohol etc and someone who have a low self control or egoism for keep asking to fulfill their desire. Let's say you was a kid and asking a chocolate to your mom, your mom not want to buy it and you will angry to her.

Such signs are really common, it's something normal and you can't use this signs to say they're a gambling addict.

The only way a youth can be save from gambling addiction is when his mind becomes open to the reality of the world. Youth should focus on study and finding a decent job to have good future because most of the gambling addicted usually have family problem and doesn’t focus much on his career that’s why they choose the shortcut way on earning profit.

I grew on an environment which gambling is very common. I was exposed on gambling as a child since my father and neighbors is always playing gambling with small money. I’m at the point of being entertained much on gambling as young child. My mother transfer me to my grandma living on the province so that I will get away on gambling and focus on my study. This really works because I finish my studies with good career. Since I already knew the reality of gambling, I never become addicted despite I’m always playing now because I experience worst as a child and improve myself while I understand what to priority in life.

When the country is experiencing too much inflation that makes the people find it hard to survive, at least the country should also be responsible to provide massive sources of income so that the people can still sustain all their needs and make ends meet. Otherwise, people will be push to enter get rich quick source of profits most likely with gambling. Thus, instead of working for daily survival, they put all their time and efforts into gambling and eventually develop addiction. That’s when things become uncontrollable for them, that they become prone to committing crimes due to consistent losses of their money.

Youths are more susceptible to fall on this type of situation. Thats why advices from family is very important. Without discipline, there can be no good man in gambling.

I agree, violence and anger do not have to be related exclusively to gambling addiction, but can also be the result of some of the other addictions you mentioned. In order to prevent such things, it is necessary to prevent people who are minors from having the opportunity to gamble, which is much easier to do in physical casinos, while online casinos still cannot see who is on the other side, and even when they ask for KYC, a minor can use the documents of his family member or friend to verify the account.

Unfortunately, the situation described by the OP is very serious and cannot be solved by itself, because such things only get worse if the person does not get adequate help. Gambling is supposed to be fun, and the moment it stops being, everyone has a problem which should not be ignored at all.

Our respective countries and it's economy situations shouldn't be what will determine what outcome we get out of gambling or turned us into something else, we have our life to live, if you're a grown up adult, try to be independent enough that you care less about what your country benefits you than what you serve to give to the country.


I will say that they made such decision from their own self determination, you shouldn't let your background get your back to the ground, if you're a gambler doesn't mean everything about you should be upside-down, if we fail to decide for ourselves, the world and situations around it will do so.


Set the family ablaze and reignite the love, bring the children altogether in a good way, teach them and direct all the children right, plan and work towards the future, try your best and leave the rest.

Yes, dormitories are the best solution for today's young people, you know the internet, Android phones, laptops and so on have become habits and life among young people, Not to mention the addition of online games that are easy to access anywhere, of course the dormitory is the best choice for those pursuing education for the next generation of the nation and state.

For this reason, currently in modern life there is no internet and technology that is separate from young people, so the dormitory does not allow students to play on Android phones, laptops operating in dormitories are supervised only for studying, not for gambling, they are educated to be the best generation in the future, without being touched by gambling, in my opinion that is the best step for the current generation to avoid gambling.

I believe every country has schools and dormitories in their respective countries, from elementary schools to universities, especially countries where the majority are Muslims, such as: Masir, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and so on, In England, where the majority of the population is not Muslim, there are also more dormitories such as: Oswestry School, Langley School, Morton Hall Girls School, Bredon School and many others that cannot be mentioned one by one here.

         -     I don't see anyone else who can support, guide, and teach young people about that matter. If you have a child, explain to him the consequences of gambling when he tries to do it, which is not right.

At a young age, young people should be made aware that it is not appropriate for young people who are underage to enter into gambling, and even at the point of adulthood, if the parents teach that gambling is bad, I think that's fine for me if I'm a parent.

It's right that I'm the one who gambles with my family, because they might end up being worse than me if they try. At least I can control myself somehow.

I don't agree on this one. To relate gambling to the fact the individual has become aggressive is just a way to minimize his violent nature. He isn't aggressive because he has been gambling or has become addicted to it. Maybe gambling just raised his aggressivity a little more, but that individual would present that kind of behavior, anyway, when confronted or opposed in another situations, because that is actually what gambling did to him: opposed his desire of making profit, inflicting him a financial loss. As these men you mentioned are unstable ones, they don't know how to deal with an undesired scenario in a reasonable way, so they discharge all their frustration on weaker beings, such as minor brothers, wives, animals and so on...

Violence and anger in young people may just be the result of the environment they are or have grown up in. I feel like saying all angry people are gamblers, or all murderers are gamblers. People in general are a product of what they are taught. If what you propose was true, then wouldn't that mean that all gamblers are violent and angry? I find that hard to believe as I have met plenty of nice people who like to gamble from time to time.

Not to jump to conclusion that fast but having three as an example wouldn't determine that it's all about gambling. It could be alcohol problem, relationship issues, money problem and lot of causes that may trigger to have this kind of maltreatment.

Compulsive gambling leading to losses may just be one but can't tell these days considering there are too many causes of these kind of social issues. I think the effectiveness of it should start in the early years of the child not when they are already in their teenager days. There's that saying that you won't be able to bend an old branch tree that easily but a young one could be. It's all about conditioning and how you mold them.

We cannot blame anyone who is violent or aggressive because he is involved in gambling. Gambling is not the only source of being rude and in a mode of tension/depression, there may be many other reasons as well. Even there are people who never gamble yet they are violent,  Why?
It can be because of any family issues or maybe he is involved in drugs etc. which can cause this unusual behavior.

Yes, gambling addicts also have the same symptoms and habits but we need to investigate more to get the actual reasons for this anger behavior.

I am very much agree with the first paragraph of the thread. I don't know which country you referring and really the hardship of the country make the lazy youth sort to do things to survive and in most cases, those youths refused to go to school, they are school droppedouts and turn to criminals in their compounds. There is one case in my compound right now and finally he was arrested by police yesterday. Family/domestic violate is not a new thing and it has been on ground for years, abuse now is part of family DNA in many families. And one thing I will say is that the story you presented about the boy is nice but the boy decided to choose his destiny and not because of gambling. If the boy disrespect his parents and sort crime activities then it was not gamble that made to be like that but I believe it was peer influence. Gambling can make someone to be a criminal and not to disrespect his parents. If he did that then it is not gambling again but another thing. People go into crime because of their losses and they want to recover what they have lost and since no money to gamble to recover the lost they have to look for a way to get cash and that caused the stealing of people's phone, laptop and later increase to arm robbery. There are sometimes the disrespect attitude was born with the person so probably he was just like that from beginning not gambling. When a gamble maltreat his family members and friends outside then it is transgression of anger. It is because of the lost in the bets, and other casinos games made him to behave in that manner. And not necessarily it is because he is an addict. An addict can still do well in his family if he is winning games. Frustration make people to misbehave they way they do. At that stage what they think is different from the normal way of thinking. They are always angry because of the losses.

There can be many factors involved. Not just gambling, like family issue, social issue, mental issue, financial issue and so on. It totally depends on that person. Gambling do have effects too & somehow connected. Surely why not, it can be the cause of abuse or violence. Sometimes when I loss, I become so frustrated, that I wanna break everything apart. But then I try to remember gambling is just like any other sports, there are wins and losses. Overall If I say you are somehow correct & somehow incorrect, somewhere between.

I have seen many cases of domestic violence caused by gambling habit. Gambler who is seriously addict, would do anything in order to acquire his gambling money. You can check this link: https://dbhdd.georgia.gov/sites/dbhdd.georgia.gov/files/imported/DBHDD/AD/Gambling/trauma_09_11.pdf

The competition is high, the population is still growing, price of things is getting expensive. And the opportunity to make decent money to live is becoming harder and harder. The more time goes by more difficult it will become. So the concept of quick money will grow among youths. If we don't create more opportunities for those who are jobless, how can we tackle this situation? Imagine a 28 years old staying in the house with a degree just because there aren't any opportunity to make a living. All those years of efforts to get a degree will mean nothing.

Gambling was never the solution to poverty. It is a way of entertainment. This kind of situation you mentioned in the OP only occurs when a gambler get addicted to gambling. I think we should focus more on teaching people how to avoid getting addicted to gambling. That will sure help IMO.

It is necessary to have proof that these people who you said have violent behavior are addicted to gambling and you have to see if when they are gambling their behavior is aggressive or if they behave in a natural way. Violence often comes from people who are frustrated with life, especially when they have a lack of money and material goods and problems at work. That's why it's very important to observe people in which situations they become violent and in which situations they remain calm. For example, there are cases where a person is very calm, but one day a woman gets pregnant and then that woman's relatives force that person to marry that woman, after marriage that man starts to be a frustrated person.

He develops violent behavior, starts physically attacking his wife, he blames her for having lost all his youth, he blames his wife for missing outings with friends to take care of the child. Another scenario is children who feel that because their parents are poor they suffer humiliation, in this scenario the children become very violent people, they are constantly fighting in the streets and at home and the parents get tired of them and send them away from home, and As a result, children end up on the streets taking drugs and committing crimes

Now about gambling, it's difficult for people who gamble and become addicted to become violent, while people addicted to drugs and alcohol become violent, you need to investigate if they don't keep consuming drugs, I highly doubt anyone will become violent because of gambling. There is nothing about gambling that causes people to be violent

Gambling more than your financial capacity can cause anger issues. That young man might be suffering from a gambling disorder that needs counseling or medical attention before it gets out of hand. Other issues can lead to this kind of misbehavior such as drug use or peer pressure. I suggest you call the attention of the parents or have a chat with the young man if possible.


Engaging in productive activity is one of the ways of not relying on gambling as a source of income. Youths should focus on skill acquisition and not quick returns from gambling. Gambling education is another means of discouraging addiction. The public should be informed about the negative effects of gambling addiction and people that are suffering from gambling disorders should be given the needed attention. Families,  religious organizations, schools,  and NGOs should promote awareness programs to discourage the get-rich-quick syndrome ravaging society.

Yes, this has to do with utility or happiness of the person, if they can't get what they want, definitely being sad is the only option. What Op is saying about this person is in relation to your idea. I mean, if the gambling addict keeps losing money, he'll get sad and angry. Which attitude, he'll transfer to his younger ones and brutalize them.  Because whatever we want is like a force or gravity, reason why addicts gamble again after losing out so much in gambling. Well for the case of the guy Op talked about, gambling may not be the only source of his anger. People grow up differently, and it affects their situation; trauma, hatred and emotionless. In most part of the world, in a family, elderly ones maltreat their younger ones, despite not being into gambling. Hence, gambling contributes to his behavior, not completely or fully. On the other hand, if a player who is broke, thinks so much of his gambling losses he'll get angry and can get aggressive. In such a state of mind, anything can irritate them. And leads to fight and quarreling amongst close friends and family.

OP, if you want to help the person, talk to them about seeing a psychotherapist at an early stage. Because excessive anger is caused by depression or leads to trauma. Low self esteem out of things not working the way it should, also affects such a person on the long run to stay aggressive. If left unattended the symptoms can escalate to a severe problem, that will be intoxicating to the society at large. Get close to them, talk to them about your problems and they'll easily voice out theirs. Then usher in a soft advise, that'll change the person's mental reasoning.  Recommend seeing a caring therapist, as people are easily suicidal in a world filled with difficulties as today. 

It could be a sign of gambling addiction, but it could also be a sign of stress, anxiety, and depression or basically just being a bad human being lol. It depends on the person actually. If it is known that they have anger issues and violent tendencies, it's much better to tell it as a concern citizen so they can address it and they can resolve it. You may check up on them every once in a while, but not in a way that you are intruding their privacy and personal space. Just don't meddle too much especially if you're not really concerned and just want to pry on someone else's life.

It could be that it is his character and not his gambling because it all depends on the individual because many gamblers or addicts are not like that either, and my advice is to just leave him like that until he is involved with the police and punished.
And maybe that way he will realize his actions, because they have harmed other people and even his own family.
And in my opinion, people like that cannot be advised and if they don't like them they will fight, it's better to just ignore them.

From the negative stories I have found on internet, there are two possible ways a person struggling with gambling loses can show his feelings: either through anger or depression.

The case you are describing is an obvious one on someone who does not have control over their feelings and prefer to direct his hatred towards others to cope with the fact he lost money, instead of the easy win he expected to get.

On the other hand, there are cases like that African youth who lost his college fund due to sport betting and instead redirecting that pain towards other, he decided to end his existence, basically depression.

Neither case is a good one and neither of both outcomes are a happy one , hence why true money management and responsibility is important, not only for gambling but in general.

There are many cases of violence in which the perpetrator does not engage in gambling activity. Violence can be relate to the upbringing from being a kid witnessing violence which the kid will grow up thinking violence can be justified if inflicted on someone who he thinks deserves it.

But for a grown-up man, it's more of a money problem that makes him irate with his surroundings. For a man who can't do something to earn, he will really be irate and would seek someone to blame. It's not always a gambling addiction but you will relate it to gambling addiction if the guy loses money and turns violent.

I'm not invalidating your story that what these people experienced or have become, actually, I do sympathize with you knowing that people you know and your relatives have struggled with these situation. However, I do think that they're problem isn't about gambling addiction but rather something else such as family or personal problem, trauma, or even a possibility of usage of illegal substance. Whereas, gambling only made these underlying problem worst.

I've personally known people who are like these but aren't even gambling where they'll be too aggressive or easily be irritated by anything and some even stole money or items such as appliances, jewelries, devices or even anything they find that they can make money off whether it's from someone they know or not just to buy illegal substance.

As for your question, it varies depending on each individual situation on how they can easily avoid gambling however lecturing them is one way start it off.

The youth of today. Seeking for the easy way out at all times, don't they? They would rather gamble and hope for the big win than put in the effort to earn a living via hard work. What happens if they don't win the lottery? Then, of course, everyone else is to blame. When you can easily blame the world, why accept responsibility?

And the whole stuff about anger? The classic. It's similar to a warning indication of a compulsive gambler. After they lose their bet, their little brother is blamed for breathing too loudly. Sounds really reasonable, doesn't it?

How can we keep these kids on track? Maybe we should just tell them that every time they gamble, a unicorn loses its horn. It ought to work that way. Jokes aside, though, the problem is deeply ingrained, and a magic wand won't solve it. It's a mix of guidance, encouragement, and perhaps even a little tough love

A person can be violent regardless if he's into gambling or not. It can be because of his childhood trauma and past but that shouldn't be a reason enough to fall into gambling addiction or even hurt the people around him.
We can't always blame our past or even our environment because it is our personal choice to do gambling . We can actually manage to control our emotions if we are wise enough to do the right things efficiently. It will always be our personal choice on which path we shall take. We can gamble without violence or without hurting anyone.

It is the choices we make in life as we grow that will help shape our future. As you have stated, you grow up together with this person in particular but you choose the part that will be most beneficial to you positively despite the everyday challenges.
Those who express their anger and frustration in gambling and crimes have no excuse except to face the consequences of their actions because they can also choose to toil the right part.
There are thousands of ways youth can manage to avoid crimes but the major problem with today's youth is trying to live in the Fastlane.
Gambling is not the solution to getting out of a financial hole, rather you get sunk even deeper. Thanks to social media, almost everyone is a content creator, get creative.

Okay lets focus first about that poverty thing,presuming that the individual been involved do really include out on a family which are really that not good when it comes to financial status and turns out that one of their members did really turn out to be a gambler just because they are really that eager on winning money with gambling because of such condition then it would really be building up that kind of eagerness and
really that dedicated and molding up that kind of desperation on which if the results wont really be going as you do plan knowing that gambling does result most likely in negative then upset and anger would really be
there and control would really be entirely be depending on a certain individual since there are ones who are really that good on controlling their emotions or simply their anger and there are ones who cant really just resist on making out those harsh actions despite on facing or been together with their own family.

It would really be creating that kind of action if you are that someone whose desperate on making some money and ending up on devastated instead on getting those gains on which 20+ age arent that
young anymore i should say on which these age brackets are already that mature enough and able to distinguish between good or bad things. We know that regret do always come at the end and if you do make yourself that tolerate into those things that you do have in mind which are bad act ones then expect on what would be the consequences if things turns out to be severe.
It would really just matter with common sense and control towards your emotions and mindset because you wont really be ending up on a disaster if you are really just that
responsible with your spending. Gambling isnt bad but on the time that you are treating it as a source of income then this is where things becomes shit.

Effective way in general? I think there is none.

These youths are obviously have their own family. It will depend on how these youths will grow up on that family. Their own family will construct them to become a better and responsible person while they are growing up. Just trust them to grow up nicely.

We can't solely just consider gambling as the reason why turned sh*t.

I do not think that gambling addiction make this person do these things.  This kind of attitude is already embedded on your friend core value and just getting out due to frustration of not being able to gamble.  I have known many gamblers in my neighborhood but not all of them resort to this kind of violence.



This is all about moral issues I believe.  If the person had been brought up by parents correctly, there should not be a problem like this.  This kind of attitude reflects the core value of the person.  Probably the better thing to do is be influenced by religious group or be rehabilitated if already in the situation of being addicted to gambling

I don't really support the case of attributing violence and anger to gambling addiction alone.
 The youths who engage in gambling too much are simply too jobless or don't have any real responsibility, else there wouldn't be the thought to spare to anger or become violent knowing the consequences of such behavior.
What's more a sign is when they get moody too often mostly on days when others are simply enjoying themselves and having a good time.

Look, what you say is a small factor in the phenomena that occur in our lives, the environment and even the family. It's not just a problem with gambling, so you have to look for data and percentages to compare how fatal the consequences are. on the other hand, the tendency towards other addictions is more extreme than gambling. There are many addicts who not only commit violence against the people around them, they don't even discriminate as to who their victims are, including hurting themselves. 

Drug addiction can usually be more fatal in cases of violence where a person's psychological condition is very unstable and can change at any time. Likewise in the case of gambling, you don't need to become an addict when you experience defeat, especially if it involves big money. There will be anger that arises within you, if you are unable to suppress it. will ruin your mood, and affect psychological changes. When you are disturbed, you will easily be provoked by emotions which can have fatal consequences, such as the case you described in this thread.

Well, this problem is not just a government problem. However, so does our role as citizens in government itself. The point is, it depends on how a person uses reason and a healthy mind. that in gambling, it is not an opportunity to get rich quickly. and an effective and useful way for young people is that they must be aware and utilize their own resources towards a better future. If it doesn't start from oneself, whatever the government does in any program will not work well and be on target. The point is, does this have anything to do with gambling in general?.

It is not only people who are trying to beat poverty that gamble, many rich people still gamble but show these character of violence, aggression and anger. So it cannot just be gambling alone, but can also be linked with financial insecurity. Some people easily get angry, violent or aggressive near the point where they do not have enough money for expenditures. This is why people who gamble and loose money start feeling insecure financially because they are loosing money, so they become easily angry, violent or aggressive.

i believe, one thing to combat this kind of behaviour is thru education. if the younger gen will devote themselves to educating themselves, they won't resort to this kind of violence or better yet this path of addiction.
as they will learn more about how to earn good money, they will have other things to think about on how to improve their living by other means, like finding real job.

The youth are the responsible person in the country,if the country use their youth wisely.The economy of the country itself increase in the huge way,China is the big example for the usage of youth in good way.Some gambler after getting addiction to the game,they start to do crime to earn money like kidnap of their relations child.The gambler will do this after they not able to manage the money for their future game.So the experienced gamblers will not suppose to advice the freshers to get addicted to the gameling,mostly they advice to play gambling with he gap.

There are lots of factors why youths got involved in violence or always at angered state:

- the environment they are living
- the approach to them by the society
- in a worst family status
- broke
- depress
- stress
- mental problem

Gambling might also be a factor but there's always a main core why they turned out like that.

"Telling" them isn't going to do anything. They're humans, they have wants, and needs together with responsibilities. Now if no one actually educates them to understand that those come together in a bundle, it's rather inevitable that they're going to do something wrong. There's a world difference between telling them these things vs letting them understand.

The most effective way really is to have a family that can support them and educate them, but not all households are like that so other than that, there's nothing really. A being is shaped by their surroundings early on, and even if we do say they can filter out what they can and shouldn't take, by the time they understand such logic it might've been a tad bit too late.

I understand that guiding them may not have much effect on the addicted gamblers. Instead, those who are violent and aggressive may start teaching you the importance of gambling in a manner that you may feel insulted.

However, this should not mean that we refrain from guiding them only because we fear their reaction or they won't change. Even if by our teaching, 2-5% of gamblers change their habit, it will be good for them and also fulfil the purpose of spreading better practices in our society.

If we do not care for our near and dear ones (the ones involved in excessive gambling), then who may look after them  :-\

From @OP's story, it seems like he has become addicted to gambling, which has affected his psychology, so he has become angry. But we don't know whether he was really addicted to gambling or because of something else. However, they tend to lose self-control and use violence when their wishes are not followed. This has endangered his family members because of the changes within him.

And it seems his gambling may be due to his association with friends. He may have resorted to violence to demand money from his family members or to tell family members who knew about his gambling activities not to tell other family members about it. But whatever it is, this is very worrying because most of the young generation nowadays often use violence if their wishes are not followed.

It is difficult to ask the younger generation to stay home instead of earning money. Maybe they want to help their parent's lives and decide to look for work. This is something to be appreciated because there is awareness on their part to help their parents earn money. But it needs to be reminded again that if their current job is in school and if they want to help earn money, they should not use gambling because it will have bad consequences for their future.

Many factors can tempt the youth to try out gambling and one of that is the influence of their friends. The proper guidance of the parents might not be totally the effective way but has a huge impact on the kid's behavior and on how they see things.

Anyway, violence and anger issues can be related to gambling addiction of a person, and it's not limited to youth, but in general. Even adult gamblers who experience losses tend to have such personality (though not all since it depends how you deal with it). This usually happen if you can't accept the outcome then you tend to pour out your anger to someone even it's solely your fault.

The solution in my opinion is that we should first understand about gambling what it can give us or how much we can expect from it? Should gambling ever be considered a means of making money? We should take a preliminary idea about how much we can gain by gambling for a long time. When a gambler gets the right idea about these things I think that's when a youngster will come back from making money. If a gambler considers gambling only as a center of joy then young people or others will never become addicted to gambling. So before gambling one must have an idea about the long term achievements of a gambler.

That's right, I agree with your opinion, teenagers are tempted to gamble because one of them is environmental factors, it could be from their friends or even those closest to them. If the teenager cannot control himself then he will become addicted and become a gambling addict. Parental supervision and guidance may not be effective if the teenager himself does not realize that gambling will bring misery to him. And if teenagers are out of control then most of them will do bad things such as committing violence against other people and the anger that appears very unstable suddenly, because what you said is true is that teenagers cannot control their emotions optimally, because of factors -Factors that influence them are their childish nature. is still attached to him, and this is what parents fear if teenagers can do things beyond the limits of their abilities and minds.

firrst of all, gambling addiction is always known for poor self control and emotions that exceed limits or can be called emotions that cannot be controlled. so I would not be surprised if someone you know is currently committing violence against his sibling because sometimes its an inappropriate outlet for emotions, such as when he actually just lost more money or lost at gambling and its impossible for him to vent his anger at gambling but instead he takes it out on his own family and I admit that emotions that cannot be controlled are usually closer to gambling addiction, so we always remind each other that self control or controlling emotions is very important in gambling.

in this scenario we must understand better not to involve emotions towards gambling. I mean when you are in an emotional situation it is better to avoid gambling because it will have a bad impact in the long term such as addiction and I have also seen a gambling addict who goes on a rampage every day venting his emotions on his family and this is the result of gambler who fail to have self control and become addicted.

this OP story provides a valuable lesson that this story is a negative impact on someone who is addicted to gambling and this addiction begins with poor self control and negative thought patterns.

Yes, aggression is actually one of the manifestation that a child or person might developed an addiction. And this can be actually the same as when a person is addicted to alcohols. They tend to display aggressive and inappropriate behavior and this can be really alarming. In other cases, they use to steal money from their parents just so they have funds to gamble. But in worse case scenario, they become physical and leads to such abuse.
Probably, one of the factors that might influence youth to perform gambling activities is because of peer pressure. Remember that in this stage of their lives, they get along better with their friends than their parents. So, as parents we should give our full attention on them, and as much possible we should do an effort in knowing their friends.

There is no effective way to ensure that young people stay where they are or at home because their social circle is now getting wider. And even though they are asked to stay at home, they will ask to have a connection to the internet so they can browse the internet. And that's not a solution because they can still get caught up in bad things. But everything can be overcome with guidance from their parents so that their children will not do things that negatively impact their lives. Underage children or teenagers still have to be under the supervision of their parents and parents need to provide an understanding of what they can and cannot do. It's a good idea to frequently invite children to discuss many things to build closer relationships between children and their parents.

You are not entirely right, are you saying that any kid that starts misbehaving is into gambling? Some are thought to behave in such ways by the friends they keep, it's right to look deep into their private stuff especially if they have a smartphone but it's also smart to find information about the friends they keep.

This was how a boy turned into a secret cult in my city, he was unable to open up to his parents because he had been warned that if the secret was let out they would kill his parent right in front of his eyes, this was why this boy turned into anger, he needed help but he doesn't know how to go about it.

Don't just assume that when a child starts doing things that they haven't done before it is a sign of gambling, a cousin of mine was also a gambling addict, he was just 18 years old and he loved football, but we don't know he is into gambling until he used his school fees to gamble and lost the money.

He cried his eyes out for days and he hated that he did such a thing, from where he grew up and forbade gambling, he is doing fine now and I don't see any traces that he is into gambling, I do lecture him that even if he feels like gambling some day again, he should learn about how to be a responsible gambler.

What happened to them is that they were not properly educated on the value of money and the value of working for it based on hard work and working for it in legal ways if they see that they could make money from gambling early on before they learn to make money through hard work, they will prefer the easy and riskier, the youth or minors who are deep into this should be rehabilitated because the addiction could deeply embedded, addiction can easily penetrate the mind of the youth and its hard to weed out only rehabilitation can.

It is a failure of the government and the family and institutions if there are too many youths that are deep into gambling addiction, the government could ban any form of casinos if they see the moral fiber of the country going down, family is where youth gets nurtured so the family should be strengthened for to avoid youth addiction.

Add computer games addiction too. Both of these addictions pretty much have the same symptoms. I know it because I used to be a gaming addict. I was so furious when a dumb fuck couldn’t use his ulti on time and made us lose the game. Do you know how hard it is to gain MMR’s in public games? It only takes one quitter/newb/afk to fuck everything up! Game after game I had to deal with these morons and I was losing most of the games. My MMR was taking a nose dive… then In one of these games something unusual happened. This time the quitter was on the other team. But guess what… the other team had a fucking god player which dominated our team alone. He was taking us on 1v5. That was the moment I said: “enough”. Nearly 10 years has passed and not a single game was played since then and I am a happier person. Fvkin nubz.

That is not only in youth but in every age,when people lose it all and get angry for the smallest thing they are asked for then most likely is a great sign of some sort of addiction,gambling above all.Of course gambling is not a solution to anything and especially poverty,people should comprehend that gambling is created by casinos to get profit to themselves in the long run and as such we must never expect anything out of it,if we win in a session great,if not we call it a day and then move on.

The people who fail to realize this continue deep into addiction and in some not so rare cases nowadays they even commit acts of violence against their family and other persons.

No not really, kids and young adults don't really like when much older people want to tell them what to do and how to behave. I think it's pretty common for young man to do through a rebel phase, where they don't listen to their parents, teachers or other authority figures. Even good advice that could really help is not being accepted, it comes down to a lot of personal mistakes and that we need to learn from them ourselves. I have been in similar situations myself and regret afterwards not using help that was offered to me. As a young adult I barely had any money and all the cool things I wanted to do cost money. I would go even so far and say this is one of the biggest problems in life, when you are young and healthy you have a lot of time at your hands but no money to enjoy. And when you are older it's the opposite, you have money but no free time to enjoy it. The only way out I see is to try and educate our kids by younger people with similar experiences. It's much easier to listen and accept advice from people in a similar age group who struggled with what the kids are going through.

There's always a solution. Right parenting.
You see the problem now is most parents are too busy with their work and when they get home they just stay with their phones and computers not thinking their kids could be growing like monsters. That's the problem with this era of smartphones and the internet nowadays, we have more time with social media but we forget about our kids and giving them the proper discipline about what is right or wrong.
I have a 7-year-old with a smartphone in his hand but it's usually just for games and watching kids videos. But, I don't forget to check it always when he goes to sleep so I can make sure he won't bump into anything bad on the internet.
Let's not make them learn how to gamble especially at a young age where they cannot control their rage. We may never understand them because of the difference in eras but we should make sure they won't be influenced by those advertisements and other things coming out in social media.

The only way is to instill respect in the youth and the way to instill that respect is to have a figure that the youth will respect and will listen to, youth are always looking for a father figure that they can emulate, it should start the family if the parents failed to establish respect coming from their children, the child will look for it outside of their homes.
Influence coming from outside of the homes is sometimes bad, they become involved in bad companies, and this is the start of gambling addiction and many other vices to sustain gambling addiction.

Gambling among the youths cannot be prevented or stopped. The youths cannot stop looking for quick money because quick money is what the whole world celebrates over slow money. Gambling may not be the solution out of poverty but that element of hope that it gives the youth is the thread that they hang unto. They are quick to tell you how a friend of a friend made millions from a bet and that someday it is going to be their turn.

But why would I blame the youths. In my country, the social media influencers who advertise these sports betting sites and casinos do it for the quick money too. Do they care if the youths are gambling responsibly? No. They just want to do the 20 minutes sports advert and get their millions.

I won't string the gambling addiction with anger issues because both are different, anyone who is addicted to gambling can be completely harmless to their family even financially while the anger issues should be addressed as Medical condition so it can be only treated with the help of medicine, therapy and support groups like that.

This is where it goes wrong when we don't have what is what and what should be done when something goes wrong but finally every blame falls under the name of gambling. ::)

It isn't really fair to blame the system if people use it wrongly.

In my opinion, apart from that, the most prominent thing about a teenager that can show that he is addicted to gambling is when he has the behavior of often lying to his parents and other people. When they are teenagers, of course their finances are very limited and most of them can only rely on their parents as their source of finances. So quite a few of them, in order to satisfy their lust for gambling, often lie to their parents so they can get more money apart from the pocket money their parents give them every day.

The main reason behind the increase percentage of crime is poorness, if each individual have equal opportunities and they have each and everything that is necessary for life then they will never move towards crime. People hardly fulfil their needs due to which they accept to capture money from others and become a gambler after which they also don't shy to become a thief.

Parents should take it serious and from start they should teach their children about it but some parents think gambling as a simple activity of fun but at the end gamblers become cause cause of their hardship and torture them that if they don't give them money they will do something bad with them.

Committing a crime is not a choice but rather a compulsion because there is a need that they must fulfill as soon as possible and at the same time their finances cannot answer that need. In my opinion, if a teenager is born into a family that is financially well off, then that teenager who is addicted to gambling will prefer to lie to his parents in order to get more money rather than having to commit a crime which has quite a big risk which could be threatening his own life.

So this is where the role of parents is needed to continue to pay attention to their children's growth and development and their relationships, because once they are trapped and addicted to the world of gambling, this will trigger them to do other negative things such as lying to their parents or selling family assets without their parents' knowledge.

Can we control the youths? They have their own mind to think what's right or wrong.

Some are just not fortunate that turned up being the bad person and at some point, some are forced to do violence for the sake of money as they have no choice because of personal problems. Fortunately, there are youths that being guided properly by their parents or guardians and are currently on the right track.

There is no effective way to make sure youths stay where they are being told. They have their own decision and don't want to be controlled. Let's just do our best to guide them no matter what and give them a nice talk, especially those youths that are already in the worst status of their life.

Controlling is the wrong way of doing things, especially when it comes to the youth. They have all means to access information whenever they like, and it is up to them to put good use into what they learn. They have to learn the hard way sometimes in order to stay away from these negative things that we view. You can't really expect yourself to be holding the hands of the youth along the way. The more you try to steer them away from something, the stronger their curiosity will be on that particular thing.

The boy might be addicted to gambling and might be facing a great loss, that's why he is just transferring aggression on his younger brother and sister. I am sure if he is not facing any loss, then he won't just be getting angry unnecessarily, but maybe the amount he has lost is what's disturbing him emotionally. I think he really needs proper monitoring, or he might end up doing things that he is not supposed to do.

Being impoverished does not give you permission to do crimes. There are many individuals around you who will be better than you, but they are not committing crime, Poorness shouldn't be the reason for committing crime. I find it annoying when someone give a justification for doing crime. You cannot be satisfied with what you have in life. Everyone will always aspire to be richer, but that doesn't mean we should commit crimes. Even if everyone has the same opportunities, they will all still desire more.

Even if parent take it seriously, it won't stop the child from gambling. The best thing I will recommend is proper education about gambling. Don't tell them gambling is bad, but tell them gambling addiction is bad. You have to be honest with them, just tell them possible things that can be done to avoid gambling addiction and the negative effects of gambling addiction. If you are planning to spoil the gambling reputation of your children, then you are getting it wrong, because if they end up trying to gamble, and if they notice what you told them is wrong, then they will never believe anything you tell them about gambling, they might end up gambling hidden without the parent knowing.

I gambled in the past, still gamble but, have far more control over my gambling now than ever. In fact, I often gamble on the live games and establish a niche for my gambling. Like, that’s how much control I’ve got over the activity.
I never considered myself an addict but, I had a point where it was just another part of my weekly activity if I had funds for it and in most case, gambled because I wanted to win. The reality to the game made me cut these down but, I never had to maltreat anyone for satisfaction.

Gambling for a course of youths aggression? I think not. One of the drive for youths to seek easy money through gambling is because they’ve got no jobs. Give them a job and see some of them withdrawn from the activity.

Be it as it may, people have got a side they show to those that are close by and a side for those that observe at a distance. The two are never the same but, they are a part of the same person. It could be activated bu something but, it’s not caused by that thing. It’s always been there!

Lying just for the money is an early sign of addiction because that is the start when you will do whatever you like even if you are not allowed to. Violence is worst when an addicted gambler was not able to gamble, and of course you can also see this if the gambler losses the money. There’s a lot of form of addiction, and if you already have the worst sign, better to treat it seriously.

Parent's cannot control what the youth is thinking but parents can control what they wanted the kids to witness.  Other people also have influence towards the youth and this influence can be use to affect youth's judgement and actions.


All people have money problem but some are just rotten eggs that prefer violence to solve their money issue.  Being aggressive is probably part of their DNA and without proper guidance and control, these people are unable to restrain themselves from doing these violent things.


You have answer the most effective way to infuence youth and that is by guiding them and reminding them in a calm manner that violence is not a solution to any problem, it can worsen it and might possibly bring the youth to more trouble.

When gambling addiction hits you hard, your behavior as a son or as a brother might somehow be put at a risk especially if you keep on betting and spend huge amount, and yet you are still not seeing any decent winnings. So instead of hating the gambling site, your anger might be pass to your family members who have no idea at all why you’re acting so strange and wild. This kind of situation is not new anymore, as greed will be the center of your life so the empathy and care that your family needs will be out of the picture already. And you will learned your lesson only once your family decides to leave you for good once the situation becomes worst.

That topic is a stretch. Sure, gambling addiction can cause all sorts of problems in behavior, but so can every other addiction so my first thought when i see violence and anger wouldn't be that they must be gambling.

What you are talking about is an addiction. And there are ways to combat that. Persons who are more susceptible to addictions shouldn't try to gamble without an exit plan. Sadly people with problems rarely admit that they have a problem and usually they need to hear that from someone else before they spend all of their money. I am glad that you have found the negative aspects of it, but i don't see preventing others to gamble being a viable, or any kind of solution. To most of us it's just fun pastime.

Really hard to tell on whats the source of that anger or kind of behavior because we know that we arent just simply dealing with gambling in our entire lives or time.There are things which we are involved with and not really just that limited to gambling on which it might really be causing up that kind of outcome which temper or sudden burst of emotion is something  that can be seen.On the time that you would really be that
kind of impulsive or something that do really getting in line with your temper on which coming into a point on which you wont really be able to control then this one signifies that you are really that addicted to it.
There's no exemption whether you are old or young because addiction hits you on the time that you would really be finding yourself not to be responsible towards your actions.
If you do find yourself having that kind of spending which is already more than on what you can afford to lose then this is the time you should really be that stopping completely.

No doubt that availability of jobs will get many youths out of the street and that will reduce their exposure to vices as they say that an idle mind becomes the devils workshop, just meaning when you don't have meaningful things or positive things to do then you are likely to get into wrong things. So job creation will shift the focus of some youths away from gambling because many don't profit from it and when they see an alternative in jobs, they are likely going to throw in the towel on gambling and face their jobs.

However, the picture you painted in the body of your post that the effect of gambling is the reason of anger and maltreating of the siblings, this I doubt. That boy may have that gen from the parents especially from the father. He has anger spirit and nature of being wicked, except gambling failure only amplified it. Otherwise, every gambler who loses money should beat their wife's up, their mother or girl friends.

Anger is part of emotion. Everything have got a reason. We can't conclude that it had happened out of gambling. People are expressive and there is always difference in it when one is happy and one is sad. If the same person had been lucky to win, surely the way of his approach would've been different. Every gambler used to be good and the goodness lies on ones win/loss.

As most users have mentioned, gambler could've got the anger by nature. It could've come out of him while experiencing a loss. People doesn't know the way to express it. Maybe if the loss experienced can be shared to someone else, surely he will be able to overcome the anger that exist upon his siblings.

The gambling addiction was the unstoppable,the gambler should get away from the gambling addiction by following some steps.When the children started to hide from their parents,it leads to the huge involvement of the children.So finally the children involve in the financial crime to get the money for the gambling game.When the gambler try to lie to their parents at the beginning,the same lie will be the permanent one.The kids lie to their parents till he get into the job after their graduation.

The gambler should reduce their anger in the game,because the gambler will start to attack the gambling sites after the loss by blaming the gambling site.But the fact is the gamblers should take this as the gambling responsibility of money involved in the gambling.Because the gambling had both win or loss based on the luck.Don’t blame the gambling site for the loss and to be mature before start to play the gambling.No gambler ask the win,why they win the game and say was asked at the loss of money.

If the addicts gamble with loans, their salary won't change the behavior. It'll only make the person a high roller. Funneling lots of vulnerable to his career. I don't think gambling addiction revolve around jobless people. Gambling has taken jobs away from employees. The solution is kindness. Having conversation with gambling addicts. Inviting them for outings, parties and other social gatherings. Will engage them and brush away some time spent on gambling. But, the society today is not conducive to them. Thereby boosting the number of gambling addicts in the communities, regardless of their financial status. CEOs gamble. If the aggressive and the financial destructive gambling addict is shown the other side of this world. He'll learn to adjust, and fix his life. Hence, it'll gradually spread and reduce the high rate of gamblers. So, if gambling is not a solution to poverty, it is not also a solution to more wealth. For the rich folks. The very rich go broke because of gambling. Being financially stable doesn't solve it. A sustainable social activities will easily bounce out gambling addiction. I know it'll sound difficult, since these addicts don't think of other things. One would wonder how to constantly win a gambling addict over to a party. They may influence their non gambling friends. Thousands of reasons have reduced the care loved ones give to their suffering gambling addictive friends. I've seen many addicts change. Because they hang out with non gamblers. Good peers make great changes to the society. In most cases, it's not planned. The addict gets compassionate with the non gamblers, accidentally. And tend to change by seeing how their friends live life. That means if the people invest kindness to help reduce gambling addicts, it'll be easier to achieve than any other available method.

I think it might be true and there is a possibility that the child may have a gambling addiction problem, but I don't think that can be concluded just like that because if we talk about problems related to a person's temperament or emotions, it could be triggered by many things not just a gambling addiction problem, right?.
If someone is addicted to gambling then he will definitely cause problems such as often asking for money by force to gamble, but here the problem you are saying is, does he only have problems related to his anger because of bullying his juniors and younger siblings? If that's the only problem, it's possible that he just has a personality problem because he is an individual who has a high temperament and has a character who likes to bully.

In my opinion, a way that might be effective in dealing with gambling addiction problems in today's young generation is to provide early introduction and special education about all forms of juvenile delinquency, including gambling addiction problems in schools or educational institutions. Because in my opinion, if the younger generation is introduced to several problems or deviations that are often faced by teenagers, then it is possible that their self-control will be less developed because they have been introduced to the risks and negative impacts of several deviant behaviors, one of which is the problem of gambling addiction.

Short temper will not win the game, its a sign of someone losing the game for sure and I have to agree that could relate to gambling addiction or any addiction would relate to this loss of control imo.  Unfortunately I've seen it a few times myself, a normally reasoned person loses their full capability to think through a situation and just ends up reacting badly to almost every event in their lives. Its time to step away and take some time  out in this situation, step away from gambling as you wont win anyway; however not all can or even want to step off ride and go slow.

Is it not about money? Any CEO can fall into the trap, and a big pay won't change anything. The problem of gambling addiction affects more than only the unemployed, you're right. A problem that transcends wealth

What matters? Kindness, as you mentioned. Helping an addict see the world from another perspective. The casino isn't as important as friends and socialising. It shows that life is more than dice and roulette

How do we ensure that these outings and gatherings don't inadvertently turn into another gambling opportunity? This is a complicated topic, but your understanding illuminates a solution. It's about assisting, caring, and investing in people. It's about showing that friendship, love, and support exist beyond gambling. The path is difficult yet worthwhile

The gambler who had loss the game and get short temper in the offline gambling will attack the gambling owner for their loss,but this should be avoided.The loss in the gambling is the common one,So the gambler should I understand the gambling loss is the common one and the gambler should take responsibility for their loss.The violence is not thje solution for the loss in the gambling,the gambling itself low you to make a big win in one day.So the gambling loss can be easily recovered by the gambling itself.To recover the loss,the gambler should not do the gambling without the limit.The gambler only follow the free money in the gambling to get back their loss money in the gambling.

Honestly gambling with moderation wouldn't have much effect on the gambler unlike addicted ones who would always transfer aggression to other people like friends, close family members etc after incurring severe losses, addicted gambler had done more harm to a lot of people simply because they couldn't curtain their anger obviously it is natural to always get angry when things goes wrong, however to avoid this kind of anomaly is to gamble with the amount of money you can afford to lose or quit gambling, of course losing a small portion of money wouldn't cause any harm to the gambler as well as their temper.

It could also be a sign of mental health illness, emotional heart breaks, financial problems or even could be a sign of drugs and substance abuse.
Not everytime does the negative issues with youth has to be caused by gambling, it's best to do your proper investigation on the person so as to help him/her out than just labelling the cause to be due to gambling side.

I have been gambling for a long while now and I know several gamblers who started before me and we all have happy homes, we do have bad days and just like anyone can have a bad day at work, school, business, investment and all you just find a way to deal with it logically.

This is a form of domino effect of gambling addiction. And this domino effect will be worse than just gambling addiction. And if we have found that our children have started to lie then we should be suspicious and look for what is behind the child doing a lie because if this continues to be allowed to drag on, then this is very dangerous and it could be that telling a lie will become a personal habit. And we need to know carefully that when someone succeeds in telling a small lie then he will tell a bigger lie because he thinks that the first lie he told was successful and can give a result.

Their was the quarrel and dispute due to the gambling.The gambling addiction was the root cause for the dispute between the gambler and gambling site.Mostly the gambler defined the gambling sites uses the code to get all the money to their game.But the gambling site doesn’t need such situation.If you find your children involved in the gambling,you should get away the gambling addiction alone.But you should not force them to quit the gambling.Which leads to the gambling addiction on the game.

I don’t think gambling breeds the abusive behavior, but I know that it is terrible when someone who has anger issues, or is abusive is also addicted to gambling. Because when they fail, they put it on the person or object next to them. Seen those clips where people game on a PlayStation console and the person losing punches the game display? That’s exact what I mean by terrible.

If the government in question doesn’t try to provide jobs, etc to make youth have a better source of income, then they are prone to continue trying to make quick money. Some of them do it because of laziness, some do it just to be able to afford basic needs. It’s just sadder when  they lose they little they had.

Frustration with gambling sites often occurs when they are unable to win and also experience consecutive losses in gambling. And indeed, people like this often blame the gambling sites and not infrequently they also do other stupid things by breaking their cellphones as a form of anger and disappointment towards these gambling sites. This will only show how immature you feel when gambling.

If I find this in my child then what will I do, I will try my best to help my child get out of the zone and stop his gambling activities slowly. And indeed we have to do this slowly. because if we force it to stop completely, it is very worrying that this action could have an impact on the child's mental state, causing the child to become mentally disabled.

I don't really think it correlates at all .... I feel it's more about individuality...
Anyone could choose to be violent for reasons best to them... Maybe peer influence, drugs and narcotics, political reasons etc...
Addiction has everything to do with how the person reacts, how he's unable to abstain from stakes and speculations of games, offline and online and all of that... Whatever happened in this context has something to do with Thier personal reasons.

Other recreational activities will make them stay where they are and will teach them to keep busy to avoid gambling. Also, it will allow them to see the happier side of what they are missing. Violence and anger are due to the losses that they're getting and it's hard to deal with it when you're alone. Going into sports, religious activities, and any other sort of recreational. This is going to put them away in gambling and will make their minds and physical body busy from going near to it.

We've been telling this since the age of time but, it's just their way of thinking is different and stuck into gambling and quick cash through it. But once their mindsets have changed, they'll come to understand that it should be like that and there are other better ways and process to get out of poverty.

This is actually a case-to-case basis as there are also other factors that can determine on why a person is abusive. Gambling can be the biggest factor on why his attitude changed over the years but there are also some underlying factors which definitely affected his personality and character.


I agree with your statement.

If a person is too deep in the gambling environment, illegal activities such as robbery, etc. is a natural response for them to satisfy their cravings. They tend to lose judgement and discretion in which everything becomes clouded.

I do think that in order to combat addiction in youths, it must start on the very household on which the child is growing up. Like what I always mention, prevention is better than cure.

This is a topic we were debating on with a couple of friends about politics and corruption, but then I feel turning to crime as your option is limiting oneself and there is a lot of stuff that Can get you going ,but the main culprit is that the generation of today loves to have it easy and need to learn to carry their weight.

Whatever the hardships we are all responsible for our decisions and shouldn't be justified for it especially stuff like spouse abuse which could the voice of reason!
 
I think it all starts with the foundation, get people to have an education to get their literacy skills up which will them a shot at succeed and find other means of making a living as gambling shouldn't be the 1st priority as the house will always win.

This is a serious problem which if won't be addressed will start a cycle of violence, uncontrolled gambling, and poverty. Young people should be focused on productive activities and not gambling.

I have also known young people, mostly men, who are too irresponsible when it comes to gambling. Their salaries go to gambling and oftentimes they're left with nothing even when the next payment date is still far.

I don't know how to solve this. But it will help if illegal gambling is eradicated, exclusion by oneself or by family members should also be implemented. Casinos should also be stricter in admitting gamblers.

Other than the fact that one has it in their genes, such behavior can be a result of growing up in a family that has always had problems and there were always fights and quarrels in the family which we all know leave a bad impact on children if they are seeing elders fight or argue all the time, they grow up to become frustrated and short-tempered because they've been seeing and hearing things that they weren't supposed to at a very young age.

And, it obviously also has to do with the upbringing of a child and how the parents used to treat them when they were growing up. A child who has been raised very well by their parents will never turn into a maniac like that even if they haven't really been doing very well financially because it's not always about the money or the luxuries, it's about how the elders have taught them to value life and cherish every little thing that they have.

Today's young generation is easily triggered to commit violence. I saw it happen on television but I don't know whether it was because of gambling or purely because of teenage violence. But this is indeed a serious problem that must be resolved immediately by all parties, especially parents, in providing insight and understanding to their children.

And currently, many young people use their money to gamble when they already have an income. At first, they only participated in gambling because of invitations from their friends but gradually, they felt their passion for gambling grew. And that triggers them to stay in gambling even though they don't win much. Moreover, their friends continue to invite them to gamble together in their free time.

Illegal gambling can be eradicated, but as long as they can access online casinos, it doesn't seem easy because they will move to online casinos to continue gambling. They must know that gambling is only for entertainment and not for making money.

Some times it is also a sign mate of addiction in some manner ,
for example he keeps losing and has no capital to gamble? he becomes more irritable and then anger that will turns into violence ,
I remember that there is some instance here in our country that an addicted gambler
having no money to play and with a lot of debt ,made Himself entering the casino, taking chips and making people a hostage then burning the casino before shooting His head for suicide .
and that ends truly sudden death of some personalities .
so therefore I conclude that OP's title is literally something that reflects to addiction.

Legal or illegal gambling will result the same since it’s both gambling and casino don’t moderate their players personally so the effect of addiction will still be the same regardless of the legality.

Exclusion is my best choice too on solving this issue since no one will be completely addicted and become violent if someone in your family will moderate you. In my case, my wife keeps yelling at me whenever I’m gambling regardless of win or lose so that makes me gambling moderately or seasonally whenever she’s not around using only the free money I have that she doesn’t know.  :D

Lack of money is the root of all evilness, violence and crime takes place in a country where there is hunger and suffering, if you don't believe me you should take a tour and visit the slums in any country, you will see the lifestyle that people are living, including the children, it's not easy to be a parent and a guidance of children, sometimes we need more than just us to set them on the right path, they need more than parenting, that's why if you are not ready to care for a kid do not bring them into this world.

Kids with bad attitudes are not all into gambling, some don't even know what that is, the bad attitude they have comes from their home, I have ask a kid some questions one time where he told me his father used to beat up his mother, that's why he is so mad and you can see it written all over his face, some times the problem is from within the family.

---

Some kids are brought up in a evil way, yes you heard me right, their guidance or parent are the types that aren't supposed to birth a child at all, and the kid landed on the side of bad parents, while the kid grows up he decide to be even more ruthless than the parent, believe it or not, whatever we are doing, our children will surpass us, because they will always be a better version more than us, so ask yourself if you are doing things that you will love your kids to better at.

Gambling isn't the sole reason why people become aggressive, anxious, and depressed. Sometimes it manifests because they have tons of problems to begin with, such as having financial difficulty and despite that, they still gamble anyways because they feel that gamble can be some sort of diversion of attention, without noticing it's also starting to consume them. It even becomes the main problem to some because addiction slowly creeps in the moment the person disregards practicing responsible and moderate gambling routine. But we can't really judge them can we?

It's best to criticize and be a concern citizen once in a while. Although just make sure to not meddle on someone else's business. There's still a fine line between being concerned and just being plain rude who loves to pry.

And in my opinion, people who are in a phase of economic difficulty and then bet on gambling, of course, this is not a good and correct solution but this is the beginning of him getting worse in the future, with the beginning of gambling and succeeding in getting a win, of course there will be thoughts of returning to gambling even with a larger nominal to get a bigger win too, but without them realizing it is the beginning of them entering misery because gambling is not always profitable.

It is indeed difficult to stop gambling addiction but we must remind each other not to fall deeper before the addiction continues until who knows when it will achieve a sense of satisfaction from winning. It is true that you should criticize occasionally even if it is not to interfere in his life problems even though it will cause conflict.

I totally agree with that. Another big reason for children being aggressive, short-tempered, or violent after reaching a certain age might be because of a toxic relationship between their parents that they might have been seeing throughout their childhood and now they got fed up with that and it actually makes a very bad impact on the minds on children when their parents or elders keep fighting all the time in the house and they wouldn't like that at all.

Children who are raised well, and who have been living in an environment free of violent and intolerable behavior, will definitely have a better and more tolerable mood when they grow up. So, you are right that one shouldn't just put all the blame on gambling and say that children who are aggressive all the time are like that because they are addicted to gambling.

Have you try giving advices to your friends? If so, what are their responses? If they still insist to, then maybe those solutions you can think of are the ones that can truly help them the most. Or maybe you didn't make a move? It's okay, it's not your responsibility anyway. I understand that some people are only being careful to not be blamed by others.

I agree on what most users said here that violence and anger are not mainly caused by gambling or being addicted it but it's more of a personal problem. I admit that I have these conditions ever since I was still young, and up until now that I'm at my 30's already. Gambling, video games and other activities can only trigger or amplify it more if you are losing but I'm trying to be calm and don't focus too much about winning.

I saw on TV and newspapers many children of rich people entering the world of crime, the world of violence, the world of robbery. When the children of rich people go to casinos to play, they play with a lot of money because it doesn't hurt to lose money because they are not the ones who make any effort to win that money and when someone else tells them not to spend a lot of money , so they start violence, as they are very rich, they know that their parents are people with power in the government, they know that their parents have money to pay better lawyers and judges

so they physically attack all the people they want, I have seen this type of thing happen very often, unfortunately even with good financial conditions for their children, as long as the parents are very busy people and pay little attention to their children, so the children of the rich They become criminals, they become people with serious psychological problems and they become violent. we just need to see the children of rich people in the USA as they are to understand what I'm talking about

There are some persons that have natural anger and even though when they go into gambling, it will never ends there. Some persons get angry when they are losing money betting so we need to be very careful on how we interact with people when gambling on a live casino or betting on physical sport games. We need to understand that not everybody are like us and nit everyone will take those things we may over look over a certain period of time.

There is no way we can stop the anger in people unless they are ready to work on themselves and fund solutions to there problem. Gambling can be full of cheating since there are people who are always ready to cheat anytime they have the opportunity.

There are ways to stop it but it's not just being applied because some gamblers think that they're already like that and they can't find any solution. Means that they don't want to help themselves because they just wanna get stuck being like that.

On the opposite note, there are also cheating gamblers that are blaming the casino thinking that they've been cheated on. But the reality sucks to them that they're just a bunch of losers and that's making them angry about it because they can't accept the hard thing called defeat.

Who doesnt really like on losing, right? We do value money and its a normal approach for a human being to have on which it would really be just that so normal on having those kind of reactions since we do really value money that much and something that should really be giving out importance but on the time  that you are already that touching up gambling then it would really be that best that you should really be that be prepared or already that anticipating that losing would really be that common into this field. On the time that this is your first time or simply that you are young which your mind isnt really that molded or get prepared about on that
possible risks then this isnt really for you.

Gambling addiction has no exemption whether you are really that old or experienced or to those youngster who do tend to engage with it and ended up on being addicted just because they dont really know
on how to make out some good decisions and dealing towards gambling risks. This is the difference in between the two which one do really knows on how to assess himself and the one arent really that having the
idea about on the risks that he's been into until you would be finding out that you have been devastated in terms of finances.

IMO, it does not make sense to get violent if someone asks them to stop spending money may it be a rich kid or not.  Aside from that gambling does not promotes violence, nor robbery so I do not get where does this crime came from.  I do agree that due to the influence of parents of this kids, they have the courage to do crimes but I do not think it is related to gambling unless these people are addicted to gambling and steals just to have the fund for their vices.


This is more like power tripping.  I agree in a point that rich people do these kind of things because they lack attention from their parents.  A way to show their rebellion by commiting offensive things just to get their parents attention or to blemish the reputation their parents are building as a sign of rebellion.

The new generation were a lot different from the old generation. They can’t just observe all of the changes happening but they need to explore and experience everything on their own. And that’s where gambling creates an impact to these youths especially that in online gambling they can easily hide their age and continue to access gambling. If these youths will not be monitored, they will easily fall into gambling addiction which will lead them to resort into making violence because they can’t control anymore of their losses that they have endured from gambling. And that’s where gambling addiction has ruined their future.
